G-spotter Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 they made it yellow, so that from a distance it looks like "yellow hardman foam pad" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Manufacturer Cascade Designs Inc. cites the inflatable pad as being approximately three times warmer than any other un-insulated air mattress on the market." Oh sweet, it's 3 times as effective as another UNINSULTED pad. And all for $120 or more? Check out the mont-bell stuff that Jim carries at pro mountain. Far superior to this trash.

TrogdortheBurninator Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I saw a prototype a year or so ago and it seemed pretty cool. The price seems high, but it seems in line with their other offerings. If it was less than regular thermarests or z-rests, no one would buy those. The price is also in line with downmats, but half the weight (good) and half the R value (bad). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korup Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Ridgerest, $18, and holes don't matter. That thing is idiotic, but it bet you could coordinate it really well with some sweet new yoga pants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericb Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Ridgerest, $18, and holes don't matter. That thing is idiotic, but it bet you could coordinate it really well with some sweet new yoga pants! I'm guessing it's more comfy than a ridge-rest, but it would be interesting to see how small it rolls up. Having a ridge rest on the outside of your pack can be a pain.

A2THEK Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 It's retarded to pay that much for something this gay & yellow, besides you know you're not gonna sleep for shit with the worm turning in yer belly & mosquitos flying up your nose all night.

DavidNeves Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Take a ridge rest and roll it up loosely. Stick it inside your bag vertically. Let it unroll. Place other gear inside the foam pad silo. Not enough space? Get a bag 5 liters larger. With any luck, you'll be able to pull out the framesheet from the pack and use the pad as a pack frame. Now it's on the inside, it's more durable, cheaper and serves double (or triple) duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
