    If you were wondering what this inflatable pad is all about, this video will give you an idea.

    Looks great way to go and I agree with the double layer as when I first started I used a pad inside a single layer and it was like getting on a surf board in the middle of a large wave.

    Nice video.
    I started a thread on this pad a while back.
    https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...od-idea-or-not
    I never got one, even had a chance to get one from the factory for $55. I could never get a straight answer to a couple of questions. Maybe you can shed some light.

    What would you say is a temperature rating or insulating value of the pad?
    Do you have any issue with moisture on your back?

    I started out with a Klymit pad and found that the insulation was very little. I also had a lot of moisture on my back in the morning. It didn't really insulate and acted as a vapor barrier.

    You did mention the teens in the video. What was the final temp for the night or the lowest you would use it for?

    20 degrees would be a nice conservative rating. I took it down to 19 degrees and did not experience any discomfort. I did not get any condensation from the pad, but I live in AZ and we don't have any humidity this time of year. I would like to take the pad into lower temps, but it's a rare day when we see weather that cold where I live.

    Thanks for the video. I was on the fence but your review put me over. I got two off Massdrop. One for me and a surprise for my son.

    man, that was a really great video

    showed it in action

    showed it packed, unpacked, setup time

    I'd definitely consider one down the road

    Great video review! I too bought this recently, but haven't taken it out to try. I did inflate it and slept on it, very comfortable. I did like that there was no air loss the next morning. But for the life of me, I can't get it back in its bag after deflating it . . . How on earth did you do that? I'm keeping it
