Three Season?
This pad is advertised as three season. Not in Northern Wisconsin. After 2 years with this pad, I have to say it’s the most comfortable pad I’ve slept on, but only usable for summer.

Not a durable mat
I have owned two of these mats and while they offer a very comfortable night’s sleep they have both failed in the same way (delaminating and puncturing of the dimples) within months. While sea to summit warranty support has been excellent I believe this to be a flawed design. I have spoken with another bike touring friend who also suffered exactly the same problem with multiple mats. If you are planning to use your sleeping mat daily (bike touring, thru hiking) then consider getting the comfort light insulated instead (which my partner has used almost daily for a year without issue)

I REALLY want to love this pad but it's noisy
Despite the claims that this pad does not make noise, I have found it to be very loud. I've used this pad in Colorado, Idaho, and most recently in California, and it's just noisy. Granted, I move a lot at night but when others in your party complain about hearing you moving all night it's an issue. I love the style, the weight, the R-value, and the construction but the noise is just too much. Unless you don't move at all when you sleep, this pad will make noise in my experience (20+ nights on the pad).

I love it but…,
If you’re looking for the most comfort in a compact, lightweight mattress you can’t go wrong with this one….but after four months of bikepacking through the USA and Baja my mattress has sprung several tiny leaks on the top surface all situated in the depressions. I thought at first it was due to punctures but after noticing the leaks are in the identical spots it seems that the problem is in the manufacturing. It’s a premium priced bit of gear so I hope Sea to Summit will be willing to rectify the problem.

One Pad for Most Circumstances
I was looking for a pad offer maximum comfort with minimal weight, simple and effective valves (inflation and deflation), appropriate insulation for three seasons and good pillow attachment—I wanted to keep using my Sea to Summit down pillow. I don’t think there is another pad on the market that hits all the marks like this one. I haven’t been able to use it yet but I’m confident it will work great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great sleeping mat. Can be a bit load and have not had the time to do long term tests but after a few nights it is very comfortable and warm.

Super comfortable and robust but
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super comfortable and robust but the best part is when you move it doesn't have that thermarest crinkly sound.

New fave sleeping pac
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely perfect! So lightweight and easy to use. And comfy! A bit noisy when you’re moving around at night but overall fine if you’re using ear plugs.

Super comfortable but
I purchased this sleeping pad a few years ago and I love it, only complaint I have is how loud it is… it keeps me awake with any movement. But it’s really comfortable and light weight. So I guess that outweighs the one negative I have.

Very Comfy and big
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pad is very comfortable. I love the valve and inflation system. It's super plush which makes it a little bulky and heavy for bikepacking, but that isn't the intended use.
