I currently have an Exped Ultra 7R. I do like this pad and seem to sleep well on it. Mine is a Medium Wide, so it comes in at 28 oz.
My main bag is a WM AlpinLite 20 degree.
1. Is the Ultra 7r too much pad for later Sept archery elk at about 8500 to 9500 ft?
2. I want to get a backup/alternate pad (not to hike with, but to have at the truck just in case...my feeling is the sleeping pad is one of the most fragile parts of the the sleep system, and I want a good backup.)
Looking at the following:
Exped Ultra 5 R in Medium Wide. Rectangular. 23 oz. 4.8 R value
www.rei.com
Nemo Tensor All Season Ultralight in Regular Wide. Rectangular. 19 oz. 5.4 R value.
Sea to Summit Ether Light XR ACS in Regular Wide. Rectangular. 21.3 oz. 4.1 R value
Anyone have any experience with these pads and can offer any insight?
