Description

The NightLight Torso Length Sleeping Pad is a closed-cell foam sleeping pad made by Gossamer Gear. It has an average rating of 4 stars (out of 5), based on 3 user reviews.

Manufacturer's Description:
Made of Evazote foam, these pads are made with a unique high pressure nitrogen gas solution process. The foam is amazingly light and strong for its density. The pads are tough, flexible and resilient, and exhibit good UV stability. As a closed-cell foam, they will not absorb water.

The foam is cut into an "egg crate" pattern for comfort. The base is 1/4", and the convoluted portion rises a maximum of an additional 1/2" above the base, for a total pad thickness of 3/4" maximum. Use for puncture-proof comfort at lightest weight, also great insulation for winter trips.

Weight: 3.5 to 3.8 oz (99 to 108 g)
Dimensions: 18 x 29 x 3/4 in (46 x 74 x 2 cm)
R-value: 2.27
MSRP: $18

"Hands down the best lightweight sleep pad out there. I've carried one of these on the last 2 thru hikes I did, and wouldn't even think of carrying anything else. Yes, after 2800 miles on the Continental Divide Trail it was flat when I got to Mexico, but I slept on it every night for 4 months."

"Used the Nightlight Torso on 1500 miles of the PCT this summer. I also used it as my frame in my packing system.

The pad flatted out very quickly (after about 2 weeks use) and after about 800 miles i bought some cheap blue pad to go under my hips b/c it wasn't cutting it anymore."

"This is one of the best pieces of gear that I've owned, bar none. It's durable, comfortable, and very easy to pack and carry.

One trick is on the user tips section of the GG website . . . buy the 3/4 length and cut 4 sections, then put them together with velcro."
