What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I switched to this pad on a shoulder season trip when temps dipped into the 30s and stayed warm the entire night without any of that sagging or cupping I'd gotten used to on other pads. It also inflated quietly and stayed put instead of shifting around every time I rolled over."The XL Pad is what finally makes a hammock feel like a real bed. We climb in expecting some give at the middle, some awkward pooling around the hips, and instead find a wide, stable surface that holds flat no matter which way we turn, whether that's flat on the back, curled on a side, or stretched out on the stomach. Built from soft, quiet 30D brushed polyester with an R5. 3 insulation rating, this pad was refined over two years and ten prototypes to get the lay just right. A one-way valve makes inflation easier and faster, while the low-noise fabric means no more creaking every time you shift in the night. It's built for shoulder season trips, cold sleepers, or anyone who's simply done compromising on comfort just because they're sleeping in the trees.
