I found a used Nemo Tensor at a good price so brought the chair kit to protect it from the RNMP gravel and old tent stakes left at the designated sites. The fabric of the pad is about half as thick as my old Klymit, so I keep it encased in the chair kit almost all the time. So far, it's survived a couple of trips and is definitely warmer than the old pad.

The new pad is thick enough I didn't feel the chair rods, which made sitting up to read overnight almost seamless.

One thing I didn't anticipate was how nice the chair fabric was to sleep on. We expected one night to be extra cold, so I tied into the Katabatic bivy so I could then clip the Katabatic quilt into the same cords. A warm wind blew in overnight so I spent the night kind of sticking to the pad. It would have been a lot of wrestling to get the pad out of the cords and into the chair so didn't bother, but it did make me happy I'd brought the chair kit.
