Blue foamer for 3 season
Z-Lite for shoulder season or more "social" trips.
Z-Lite and wife's NeoAir for winter
Something I wrote about pads. May be useful.

The true harvest of my life is intangible...a little stardust caught,a portion of the rainbow I have clutched -Thoreau
Some old sage on here once posted that you should never go out in the woods and depend on something that has a repair kit with it...I ignored this advice and opted for the comfort offered by an inflatable...which lasted until my second night on the trail...never again! Foam is the only way to go for the long haul....
Appreciate the input my back thanks you
Six sections of a z-lite that go under me from shoulders to hips. My mostly empty pack goes under my feet.
X-Lite reg when it's warm, X-Therm large when its cold.

A Thermarest NeoAir Xlite large that I cut down by approximately half. I like the width of the large, but even for a tall guy, the length was just absurd.

I'm planning on using a Thermarest NeoAir XLite for my thru, but have been contemplating bringing my Thermarest Z-Lite instead due to above reasons. I know plenty of people have finished their thru with no problems on their inflatables, but it seems that I always fall into the small percentage where if something can go wrong, it most likely will...
Surprised there aren't more Big Agnes pad users. Not as comfortable? Too heavy? Both?
I was looking at the BA Q Core SL for my next pad. Anyone tried it?
