I've got a brand new ProLite Plus short headed my way for my 58th birthday. I am very much looking forward to the 1.5" thick self inflating pad. Up to this point I have used a Ridgerest 5/8th inch thick, short pad. The insulating value was OK for me but I really wanted some extra comfort.

I hear that there are some issues with delamination with these pads for those who use them a lot. I did go to the local outfitter and pick up a Thermarest Universl patch kit for the just in case scenario.

My trips are no where near as often as I would like them to be. Daddy has to go to the day job to be able to pay for the play! grin
