Also, anyone who thinks you don't need a pad of some sort while using a cot has never been cold before. When you fight with physics, you loose. There's no insulation value in a cot, so keep the closed cell pad for winter work.
VERY true. However, while an ensolite pad will keep you warm, on a tightly stretched cot, it's like sleeping on a board. A thicker foam pad is considerably softer and more comfortable.
