Re: Sleeping Pads

 

I love my Big Agnes Q-core SLX.? Combined with the Lost Ranger bag with sleeve it's terrific.? I like to be comfortable at night and it does the trick, along with an inflatable? pillow.? The fact that you can't roll off the pad is a game changer as far as I'm concerned.? I also use an inflation bag and find it pretty handy.? This will be my 8th season using the Q-core and, knock on wood, it's never sprung a leak.? The downside with the sleep system is if the pad fails, there is no insulation on the bottom of the bag.? I've added a thin lightweight pad, Gossamer thinlight,? this year as an additional protector and a bit of backup insulation.

Hopefully, their product quality has not diminished since mine was produced.

I use thermorest.? Used to use big Agnes’s.? Had 2 blowup on day 2.? They did not stand behind their product. ? Stupid move in the backpacking world. ??

?I used the old, noisier version of the Thermorest XLite and loved it.? I believe they have a newer version out which supposedly sounds less like sleeping on a bag of Doritos chips.? I was so tired at the end of the day I didn’t even notice the sound.? It kept me very warm on a few hailing/freezing nights and packs down incredibly small.? It is pricey however.

I hope it's ok to post a gear question.

I did the JMT from Yosemite Valley to VVR in 2022, got stopped last year because of the San Joaquin bridge being out, and have a plan to continue from VVR end of August this year.

I need a new sleeping pad, looked online and ordered the from REI which I will be returning. It was very expensive, and the inflation pump sack is way too much work.

Appreciate if anyone has any recommendations based on personal experience.

Thanks for your help.
