Thank you for showing that pad. It has a great r value and very little weight for the protection. If your tent is a tarp type without a flooring tub, this pad will do in any weather. If your gona be a shelter dweller, this pad is over kill.
I have never seen this pad or heard of it so I was just throwing it out there. So then I decided to investigate a little more and found this page....I'm not trying to spam....Just looking for feed back on there pads....[steepandcheap has them that pop up once and a while for a cheap price]...

The link that Brooklyn Kayak offered is the most comprehensive review I could find.
I looked at this mat closely. I came to much the same conclusion as Sparky2000. If I was winter camping or camping in severe cold on the ground, like in a bivy, tarptent, or under a tarp and wanted to use just one well insulated sleeping mat to protect me from the ground and offer good sleeping comfort this can fit the goal. However, IMO, it's a bit of an overkill for 3 season hiking on the AT or if you don't want a pad dedicated to cold weather camping or if you don't do a lot of cold weather camping. If you choose to haul a 25 oz sleeping pad everywhere you hike, of course, you can do that too. POE makes several other good looking lighter wt. less expensive high R-value pads that I think are more of an appropriate fit for the majority of those engaged in 3 season camping at lower to moderate elevations.
Got one for Christmas two years ago. Good warm pad and pretty comfy too. Bit expensive. I use it for my winter pad. I've used it in a shelter too
I posted about this pad a few weeks ago on the "Highest R Value Pad" thread
The trail was here before we arrived, and it will still be here when we are gone...enjoy it now, and preserve it for others that come after us
I must have missed that thread. I'll go back and check it out........Hopefully i see it again on S&C. It was $69 I think.
