Couldn't Ask for More

Rating:*****

I was super surprised with how small this pad rolls up when it first arrived. It is hardly much bigger than a Nalgene. That is a huge plus added to the fact that it is very comfortable when inflated and can take a beating. Mine has not gotten any holes or leaks yet and I have used it probably 80 or 90 nights.
