Wowzas, I've been looking hard at sleeping pads and poof, this pops up! The biggest complaints I read on this thing is the sound it makes- anyone able to chime in on the reduction/increase in noise after more usage, etc?
treal512I never found the sound to be loud to begin with, so I haven't noticed any difference after two years of use. However, I solo camp, so there's no potential for a tent mate to be bothered by it either. I did read earlier models were really loud, like bag-of-SunChips loud. If you live near an REI you can go test it out at the store to see what you think.
treal512This pad does indeed make an audible crinkling sound. I work at an outdoor equipment store, and I believe it was said that if you roll around a lot in the night and are a light sleeper, this isn't the pad for you. Otherwise, Therm-a-rest has a lot of good pads available. This is however one of the lightest ones available. If you like I can ask the super experienced people and see if there's a way to muffle it.
