Since my Exped broke, I'm stymied by the choice in sleeping pads. POE alone has 29 models, but few of them are light enough to fit into the 1lb category.

Speaking of which the Exped weighs 27oz but is the most comfortable pad I've owned! I also had the Stephenson DAM but it was a PIA since it was slippery and the valve failed. My tightly wound backpacking buddy awoke one morning to find himself wreathed in down from the DAM, and was not amused! I laughed when he had to use his camp towel to make sure every vestige of the down was gone from the tent.

Now the valve has failed on the Exped and I'm trying to find something lighter for summer use. OregonMouse has kindly suggested the POE Ether 6 but can't find any to buy locally or online. Then I stumbled onto the POE Ether Elite. Anyone else have this pad? I'd like to hear comments from other folks before I buy one for an upcoming trip to the wet coast.
