thanks for the heads up, missed the pad amidst all the clothing posted. Ordered the pad, been eyeballing one for a while.

Neat pad! I can't sleep on my back so thinking it would not work too good for me.

EdT-- did u take the plunge on the pad? Im lookin at it very hard but not too sure about the holes cut out. No insulation?

not EdT, but I did read about it on their website - their explanation is that your bag will not compress/will maintain its loft where the holes are, so that provides the insulation.

It is designed to be put inside the bag with you, interesting.

Joshua,

I didn't go with the Klymit, I decided to try a Neo Air XLite instead, albeit at a $100 more:)

They had a guy doing a demo on them, and their jackets, at Costco here in Boise last week. I'm a side sleeper, so I took a quick look and kept going, didn't even check the price.

I've never really found a good way to side-sleep on the ground, whenever I try my shoulder feels likes its coming out of the socket after a few hours. Eventually, I always end up on my back with my feet up on my pack. Have the side sleepers here found a better way?

The Neo Air pads are the best I have found for about any position.

I sleep however I feel like sleeping. Sometimes I'm a stomach sleeper in the sticks, sometimes face... Sometimes side. I never wake up the same way I fell asleep.

The pad that I use, since I'm a thrasher, is the Exped Downmat 7M. I love it... In fact if it was culturally acceptable and I didn't have a girlfriend, I'd throw away the thousand dollar Sealy in the bedroom and sleep in my WM bag with that pad instead.

My only gripe with the Neo Airs is that I fall off of them. I'm guessing its the horizontal baffles in them.

I've been using a Therm-a-Rest that's 2 inches thick for about 15 years, and have always been comfortable on it. It's similar to the current BaseCamp. It's about 2.5 pounds, so not a lightweight, but the extra pound is worth it. My wife got me a NeoAir All Season for our anniversary, so I'll be trying it out later this month on a turkey scouting trip. With the self inflating Therma-a-Rest I found it works best for me if I inflate it just enough so that my hip or shoulder don't touch the ground; too much air is just as bad as not enough.
