This thing is awesome! It takes a minute or two to blow it up when you get to camp, but it is well worth it. I bought one for my wife, because she wanted to have a thick pad to use for backpacking when she got pregnant. She likes it so much that sometimes she blows it up and lays on it in our livingroom and takes a nap.

I decided to get the 3/4 length for myself, because it only weighs 1 lb and I don't use the extra length (even though I'm 6'2"). This pad is designed to be used with Big Agnes bags, but it works great with my Mont-Bell Burrow Bag. It folds/rolls into a very small package which stores nicely in my ultralight pack. I would suggest this pad to anyone who values a good night's sleep on the trail.
