Buying advice

Consider weight, packed size, R-value (warmth), and comfort. Ultralight pads often sacrifice durability and warmth. For cold weather, get an insulated pad with R-value 4+. Side sleepers prefer thicker pads (3.5in+). Closed-cell foam pads are cheap and indestructible but less comfy. Always get a repair kit.
