    The pad you have is not really a winter pad. Don't you need a much higher R value, closer to 5, and I think your pad is just over 1. The cold ground is a big problem.

    Thanks everyone. We'll have to go try some on. To me the silver color is to light and looks like it would be filthy looking in a short time. The women's green is just terrible.
