1/8" Closed Cell Foam Pad

I've seen these on some through hiker packs and thought to give it a try on a short three night trip. I have not decided if it will make the cut to my regular pack but so far it has some advantages: Since I switched to a quilt the air mattress shifts on the tent floor and the mat stopped that. Nice for a lie down at lunch or a larger sit mat. Almost weightless. No tears yet but there will be by Summer end. I may cut it so I can use half as a door mat to tent to keep out dirt. It is fussy to roll and pack - just one more thing.

Put it under your inflatable sleeping pad for extra protection, cushion and insulation by placing under your pad or place under a single person tent and it can also as protection to the tent floor as well as the pad Use as structure or back panel for a frameless backpack. Fold over for sit pad. Use as a lounge to sit on ground outside your tent. Sort gear on it to keep gear out of dirt. Consider this a somewhat consumable item will show wear with heavy use some durability sacrificing in design to reduce weight.

Just as described, so that's good. Seems a bit thin to provide any cushion unless folded small. Probably good puncture ground protection for an inflatable mattress, and something to put your things on when everything's wet.

Perfect for lightweight backpacking.Nearly weightless, yet dense enough to offer that just right amount of padding between you and the rocks while insolating against the cold ground.

This pad helps insulate between your sleep pad and the ground, I've used ultralight 1/8 EVO pads before from other companies but I really like this one it appears to be a cross between EVO and closed cell foam , the texture is nice and it doesn't wrinkle the way my others do. My girlfriend used it on our latest backpacking trip, she used one of my insulated inflatable pads that she had used the weekend prior without this 1/8 pad, and the weekend she did add this pad she said it made a huge difference. The ground tends to suck the warmth out of the inflatable pads, this greatly helped prevent that. I just wish they'd make them in a wider pad like other companies do

Cheaper and as good as the gossamer gear pad

Blocks cold ground. Locks in heat.

I would give 4.5 stars but that’s not an option.Works great but develops holes and rips without noticeable incidence during use.Used it on one trip and has several holes and rips. I don’t recall anytime that any sharp items came near it.It’s destined to become garbage within a season or two.however I used this with my 3 season inflatable mattress during a very cold 2’ Sierra storm over 2 nights and it works excellent with negligible cost and weight. When you consider the alternatives of buying a 250$ inflatable mattress versus using a z rest, it’s not a hard decision to get this.Also, it’s nice to have this on outside of your pack for lunch breaks to sit upon. You don’t need to get out a pad to inflate or anything.
