There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

The advantage of this is that if we go backpacking we can use individually, or loan out to friends too. However, there is still an area with not much padding in the middle where the pads come together.

The ones I have found, based on a Google search, were some by Exped (https://www.rei.com/product/113720/exped-megamat-duo-10-sleeping-pad), or a lightweight version (although I don't think I would need one for backpacking, so not sure on the advantage: https://www.rei.com/product/113718/exped-synmat-hl-duo-sleeping-pad), and Klymit (https://www.klymit.com/double-v.html). I didn't want to start a poll, since I am not asking which is 'best', but more curious on if these make sense for a couple, versus just keeping two smaller, separate pads.
