I have the 'small' which is 9 oz. and sliced off the solid ends, dropping the weigh another couple ounces. Seems like I paid about $17 at REI.

I 'was' a big fan of Thermorest and own a couple of 'em. I've since moved on to Ridgerest foam


Ok, I must be totally out of touch, I thought RidgeRest was a different company than Therm-a-Rest... When you said "I've moved on to RidgeRest " it threw me... and there it was all along made by my favorite sleeping mat company anyway. Ok, This works!

Paul, can you please describe to me what you see as the major differences between the older inflatable models and the newer RidgeRest? How does the comfort compare? Is the RidgeRest firm enough to assist in holding a hammock open to avoid the cocoon effect? How about moisture absorption, is it like a big sponge? What do those waffle lines do to your face? Why is the sky blue?

Guess I shouldn't worry, at $17.00, I could cut it up and make 97 koozies out of it if I don't like it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Thanks, Brum
