Now that my goat hunt is postponed to 2022 bc my buddies back injury, I have a year to ponder my system more than I would. I also have a Dall hunt booked for 2024. I have an old rei pad from about 6 or 7 years ago. It’s 26 oz and packs down to 6.5x9” with an r value of 4.2.
It seems stupid huge in my pack. Seems many people like the expeds and the thermarest xtherms. Are these worth the cost to upgrade? Also it seems the packed size isn’t a ton different with the exped synmat UL winter at r value 5.2 weighs 21 oz and packs to 9.1 x 5.5”. The thing that concerns me on the xtherm is the potato chip bag noise. It’s r value is 6.9 weighs 15 oz and measures 9x4”.
Also, my bag is a north face cats meow. Will this suffice or again, worth the upgrade?
Thanks for any advice.
