From CampSaver.com:
"Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Pad with PrimaLoft is the first sleeping pad to incorporate one of the outdoor industrys premier insulation materials to provide added warmth.Designed for those seeking an air pad suitable for 3-Season use, these 2.5 inch thick pads share the same I-beam construction of the original Air Core pad, but use a lighter, 40 denier fabric.The stuffed size and weight on these pads are still smaller than any self-inflating foam pad.This extra wide pad is ideal for the Big Agnes Park Series bags and people who like a larger pad to sleep on.For an excellent nights sleep in the backcountry, try the Award Winning Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Pads.Available in mummy and rectan"
From Backcountry.com:
"Big Agnes added Primaloft eco to its wildly popular inflatable pad, the Air Core to create the Insulated Air Core Mummy Pad. By using Primaloft eco synthetic insulation, Big Agnes diverted plastic bottles from the landfill. The inflatable design on the Air Core means you get an ultra-cush 2.5-inch-thick sleeping pad that will keep you warm on chilly nights and yet rolls down to fit compactly in your backpack. A perfect complement to any of the Big Agnes cold-weather bags, the Insulated Air Core can be left inside the bag's sleeve, deflated and stuffed into the sack with the bag, creating a single, self contained sleeping system."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"Winner of the prestigious Editor's Choice Award from Backpacker magazine in 2004, the Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Mummy Sleeping Pad takes the best features of the popular Air Core and add PrimaLoft synthetic insulation to create the ultimate air chamber pad. The two track pads are constructed using a lightweight die cut foam core, while the Hinman pads are solid foam core pads that deliver comfort and value. Performance features include durable, lightweight 50D nylon diamond rip-stop top and bottom, light and compact three season pad, with 2.5" of comfort, PrimaLoft eco: synthetic insulation made from 50% recycled materials, M3 synthetic insulation used in the 25" wide pad, and I-beam construction that eliminates welded seams to reduce cold spots and ensures quick inflation/deflation, Big Agnes sleeping pads are designed to provide years of comfortable nights in the backcountry. The Air Core air chamber sleeping pad has gained a huge following due to its light weight and small packed size. This pad is rated to 15 degrees comfort."

Cons: The valve can be fickle.
Bought the large mummy several years ago for my aging back. Wow!!! The only pad more comfortable is my down air mat (DAM) for deep winter use or car camping."

1. Comfort and warmth. I can't believe this pad is only 2. 5" thick. It sleeps more like 4. I used to spend at least ten minutes moving my ground-cover around and lying on the ground before setting up my tent to get the optimal spot for sleeping."

1) Are your bags down or synthetic?
2) Are your bags summer weight or warmer?
3) What clothing do you sleep in?
Here's my report: When using the Big Agnes Insulated Air Core pad, any time temps dip into the 50s, I can feel the heat wicking right out from under me."

The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because if it did pop and I could not find where to repair it I'd have absolutely no insulation, however that's part of what makes it so great is the fact that it is LIGHT!!!
Had a Prolite 4 from Thermarest and it is not even in the same league as far as comfort goes."

I bought the mummy shaped pad and it is about half the width of my sleeping bag, so sliding off and always being half on-half off is inevitable."

But Big Agnes has a lot of nerve selling them on their insulation value. Except in low altitude summer conditions, they're unacceptably cold."
