Looking forward to it Steve. I appreciate the personal experience 411 on it last week - it's why I chose it.
I always use a full-size pad - not necessarily because I'm a sleep-snob, but because of an experience a few years ago. I was using a piss-poor, thin pad on a one-nighter, and I woke up next morning mostly off the pad and with a charley horse below my shoulder blade that was excruciating. Got progressively worse during the out-hike. By the time I got home I was a mess, and wound up missing a week of work 'cuz I could barely move. I've had broken bones that hurt less.
I'll pay a few extra dollars and carry a few extra ounces to avoid ever going through that again. The regular is only 5 ounces more than the small, so no biggie. Do you have the stuff-sack designed for it? I wasn't sure if it was worth another $15 when I suspect any smilar-size stuff-sack would work just as well. Am I missing something there?
