I'm a believer in 'you get what you pay for' and this is definitely a sleeping pad that isn't cheap, but...it isn't cheap!

The worth of this pad is its insulating properties. I've been out in 15 degree temps and this pad worked great. I've used the Thermarest Prolite 4 in hot weather, cold weather, rain, and snow and it definitely is a great barrier from the elements. It doesn't really inflate itself all that well but a few puffs and voila`.

I purchased the large so my shoulders wouldn't fall off the edges. I'm 5'8" and 185 lbs and it suits my body pretty well. The bottom has little grippys that keep the pad from sliding out from underneath you in your tent (most of the time). Also this thing packs down real small and fits into my pack perfect.

Overall, I don't really have any complaints it has worked great and never deflates like other pads I've seen. I definitely recommend it.
