Purchased the insulated version for a “car camping” trip I was planning for five nights in each: Bryce, Zion, and Grand Canyon. It was easy to inflate using the supplied bag. Even at altitude inflating the mat wasn’t much of a chore. In the middle of the night on the third evening, I woke up feeling a rock on the side of my hip. I made sure the valves were closed and re-inflated the pad. A couple hours later I was back on the rock. My sleeping bag was a BA and isn’t insulated on the pad side, so now there’s no insulation between myself and the bottom of the tent. Temps were in the low 40’s. That evening I tried to find the source of the slow leak and was unable to do so (will need a bathtub). So now, instead of being able to spend time in the park and enjoying myself, I’m having to make time to go back into town and find an overpriced store just so I can get a good nights sleep. Total let down and big time suck costing me trail time as well as the money getting a replacement (for what I already have at home) on the fly just so I can get off the ground for a good nights sleep. I’ve never had my Exped or Thermarest let me down, ever, over years of use. Lots of other options that don’t have quality build issues.
