Like the Air Core Ultra, the Insulated Air Core Ultra has been redesigned to offer unparalleled comfort at an incredible price. A smooth sleeping surface, larger outside tubes, high volume valve for faster inflation and quick deflation, durable rip-stop nylon top and bottom, insulated top and bottom,

Synthetic insulation and reflectivity take this sleeping pad down to 15F

There is a non-insulated version of this pad as well that is good down to 35F and it will save you around 2oz of weight if you are interested in that.

Pros :

Light weight.
Compact.
Warm.
Reflects heat.
Insulated.
THICK! 3 ¼ inches

The outer baffles are thicker than the inner baffles and this helps to keep you centered in the middle.  I toss and turn and these outer baffles help me to stay on the pad.

One way valve is awesome.  You blow in and no air escapes.

Easy to adjust the amount of air that you want.

Deflation valve really works well.  Very quick to release air.

  4. I just got back from a three-day hiking expedition. I enjoyed my good night sleep after long trekking on the Big Agnes, and I have to admit that it was comfy and relaxing. It is your review that inspired me to buy the Big Agnes pad. I strongly recommend this review to anyone who is considering buying the Big Agnes pad.

  10. Whereas a high quality mattress with a high density rating will feel sumptuous and full bodied, lower quality and density ratings will pale in comparison. It is worth noting however, that this does not indicate how firm the fleet mattress
