L.S: Would actually rate this about 3.5 stars
Pros:
-light as heck
-straps on the end are nice
-quick shipping
-r-value seems on par for thickness of the mat

Cons:-
-This thing is short, like 5 ish feet long
-with the light weight comes less material, this thing is thin, better than dirt naps but not by much
-if you are an off the trail explorer you have to take this thing off your pack while traversing literally any trees and sticks, after a short walk through the brush this thing looked like it tried to fight 3 large cheese graters and lost big time. Like I'm talking if trees look at this thing wrong it turns to dust.

I use this under a light inflatable pad to keep it from popping and for the added r value. It works good for that aside from the fact that my inflatable pad is 6 feet and this is like 5, wouldnt recommended sleeping on this by itself, good for adding a layer to your sleep system or if your into some ultralight stuff.

Cliente amazon: La entrega fue bastante rápida. En sí el material es bastante liviano pero precisamente yo buscaba algo que no pesara mucho por el problema de estarlo cargando en las excursiones. En sí no es tan caro el producto

Alice: HX:
I've just gotten into camping about a year or two ago. I've tested this tent-camping on loose gravel/dirt and it was a great experience. I'm a pretty easy sleeper but I didn't feel uncomfortable at night at all. It makes a huge difference from sleeping on the thin tent tarp and feeling every rock.

PROS:
It's so light! This is a big plus when carrying it around. It is also very easy to pack up, making setting up and packing up very quick. I've enjoyed using it, as I said before. It does a good job of protecting your butt, back, or whatever part of you is lying on the ground from the irregular and sharp rocks you may be set up on. It definitely works better than a yoga mat or blanket. It's long enough and a half for me. Granted, I'm about 5' even, but I've had taller friends sleep on it and it works for them as well.

CONS:
It will definitely, definitely get scratched up if you use it outside a tent. This is not a problem so far because it hasn't affected the utility of the product. There's also no heat/thermal retaining function like some other higher-end products. This wasn't a big deal for me personally because I haven't been camping out in near freezing...

Thinking...: VERY thin, and the material compresses very easily. Too easily, if you are of average height and weight for a full grown adult. Do not use for tent camping where you will be sleeping directly on the tent floor or on a tarp, unless you are a teen age or younger child, or are extremely light, short and thin. I am 5' 5", a medium built/frame adult woman, whose BMI is under the recommended for my height, age and weight. I felt like I was sleeping directly on the dirt, using this pad.

For backpacking and long hikes, where the prime consideration is that everything must be as light and small as possible, and you are willing to trade comfort and bliss, for some insulation and to stay dry? Then this is the pad for you. It will provide insulation and will not wick moisture, and both are big pluses. It just dies not provide enough padding for me, nor did it for my 12 year old son, nor for my husband.

Pros: Insulates, does not wick moisture, easy to clean, is inexpensive, lightweight, easy to roll up and carry with the included straps.

Cons: provides little to no padding or comfort for adults, at this thickness and density of material

Aegiscrash: This product is all about expectations, you are buying a camp pad for around ten bucks, and that is exactly what you get. It is a soft-ish closed cell piece of foam. You get your moneys worth, and that's it. This has no fancy features, it is a foam pad, and as a foam pad it works well. I don't understand some of the neg reviews, i will rack it up to some having hundred dollar exceptions for a ten dollar pad. As for durability, as long as you take care of it, you shouldn't have a issue, but it will not stand up to abuse. The built in straps work very well, and it is very light.

I have used it several times both out camping with the scouts and at home for testing and if your a back sleeper it will work well for you in a moderate environment. If its going to get below 30F - 40F, or if you are a side sleeper, then you should look into something that is thicker.

Pros:
-Cheap / very light / built in straps

Cons: not for winter camping, can tear if abused, too thin for side sleepers
