True. I have a bad time with condensation on almost every pad I've used...ThermaRest and a few different types of CCF. The only pad I've found so far that doesn't make me sweat is the Exped Downmat.
Plenty of folks are fine with non-breathable insulation. Other folks don't like it. Every now and then you'll read a report of someone waking up in the SS with a puddle under their backside. What works for one person may not work so well for another.
I'm not bashing the SS...I've seen them but haven't actually slept in one. I'm just saying it's good for some people in some conditions. Given my bias towards breathable insulation, I don't think it'll work out for me. But if one happened to show up in my mailbox I'd be happy to give it a shot!
