Hello!
I'm buying a sleeping pad, wondering if anyone has experience with self-inflating cushions. Deciding between Therm-a-rest (Prolite, Prolite Plus or Neoair) www.thermarest.com or one of the Artiachs.
What do you recommend? And what should I watch out for?
thanks and best
Borut

basics:
-self-inflating
-2.5cm thick
-has some rubber on bottom so doesn't slip
-and right size for you of course
otherwise it's good to know why you'll have it

For a few days camping in mountains where weight matters, 2.5cm thickness good choice. But for more than 3 days car camping-weight irrelevant, warmly recommend 4cm. Much more comfortable (over 3 nights)-don't feel like sleeping in tent on ground. Regards-Rok.

Rok and Viharnik, thanks. For camp I have Turbo Maximus Will have it more for mountains in bivy bag, can't afford to drag 2kg pad around, tired of armaflex. All Therm-a-rest Fast and light line pads quite light and these three at least 2.5cm thick. This Neoair newest Therm-a-rest invention. Mainly worried about durability, not having to patch constantly, and also because read on foreign forums need to blow in it despite self-inflating, don't feel like after 10+ hours hiking. But really ridiculously light (just 500g) size of liter bottle. Will order from USA today since not in Europe yet, maybe write experience after couple months.
