Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"Up to 30% Savings during the REI Fall Sale! Plus members save 20% on one full price item. Get the best of both worlds with this comfortable sleeping pad—soft inflatable cushion and lightweight, high R-value closed-cell foam. This three-season pad is designed for weight-conscious trekkers, climbers and backpackers trying to trim ounces from their pack's load. Shoulder and hip areas self-inflate for added comfort; tough diamond-ripstop nylon shell protects against abrasion, punctures and tears. Closed-cell foam at foot and head areas offers reliable warmth with minimum weight. DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish causes water to bead up and roll off. Anti-fungal treatment prevents fungus and bacteria from growing inside your pad. Stuff sack, VELCRO® brand closure strap, and repair kit included."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Pacific Outdoor Equipment InsulMat Hyper-Lite Sleeping Pad combines the light weight and high thermal values of closed-cell foam with the comfort of open-cell, self-inflating mats. This crazy hybrid combination forms a molded closed-cell foam body that encases self-inflating shoulder and hip areas. This means you get nougats of comfy cushioning where you need it most and insulating closed-cell foam throughout this entire three-season pad. The Hyper-Lite's valve placement is a result of P.O.E.'s meticulous testing. Since placing the valve at an angle proved uncomfortable when campers rolled over, P.O.E. relocated it to the head where it's out of the way and works much smoother with the open-cell insert."

From Massey's:
"A cutting edge 3-Season sleeping pad. Melding closed cell and open cell technologies the Hyper-Lite delivers comfort and exceptional warmth in a very lightweight package. Self inflating in the shoulder and hip areas for comfort and closed cell throughout to provide superior insulation with minimum weight. Size (in.) Size (cm.) Weight (oz.) Weight (g.) 20 x 48 x 1.0"

"The InsulMat Hyper-Lite 1. 0 is a great concept but unfortunately not a great product.

The concept is simple: a hybrid sleeping pad that inflates beneath the heaviest parts of your body (shoulders and hips) for comfort, but is foam everywhere else for reduced weight."

Unisex InsulMat Hyper-Lite
Reviewed by seahiker, Mar 05, 2006

"I don't like the (lack of) sleep comfort offered by an all-foam mat under my torso and don't completely trust self inflatables nor care for their higher carry weight. This is a good compromise; the lightness of a foam pad, full coverage down the legs (no 'shorty'), and a self inflating air mattress bladder for the shoulders and hips."
