+1 on this item. This is always in my day pack (my backpack, too). Very light. Very versatile.


I switched over to a piece of bubble foil insulation. I fold it for a sitting pad but the piece I bring unfolds to a 3/4 length sleeping pad. I can lean it against a tree or rock and sit on it and have a back rest too. I'm a huge fan of that stuff.
