Camping and Backpacking GEAR thread

Some???

 

Yes.

Theres plenty of ground tents that are more expensive than RTTs

 

But, not the tent that was mentioned.

 

@Bruce988jl

 

I've got both

I love the Kamprite Tent Cot and keep it handy as a loaner when people ride in my truck to go camping. They love it. It's cold on the bottom, but a second sleeping bag opened up underneath helps keep the drafts out. An air pad below that makes it even warmer. Mine served me well for 2 years before getting the RTT.

 

I had a really knowledgeable UL backpacker as a sales rep in one of their Salt Lake City stores and we probably talked for 2 hours. My wife ended up getting a Gregory Jade pack because he did an excellent fitting session for her. They are the nicest people and most of them know the product very well. I just thought the pic was funny.

 

Here’s that new BA pad I mentioned in a orevious post. This thing is ridiculous.

No R value but they rate to 15°.

Sized in regular, short, long wide, regular wide, and regular mummy.

Weights of 11.9 / 10.6 / 15.9 / 15.2 / 10.6 ounces.

It’s 3.75” think which is nuts. That might put my face into the mesh on my Notch. Also, why no wide/long mummy?

I've been eyeing this sleeping pad. I'm a slide sleeper and its been hard for me to find a good pad.

 

I have a Neoair Trekker which is great for side sleeping but not the lightest. It’s not bad though at 23oz in long/wide.

I recently got a Sea to Summit UL Insulated to save a little weight and go mummy shape for my small tent and it’s pretty good.

The Nemo Tensor is supposed to be great for side sleeping.

 

Klymit is great for side sleeping.
Wonder why they don't provide an R rating for that pad.

 

thats what i have, hate it with a passion

 

Nemo doesn't provide R values either. Dunno.

 

I'm a side sleeper as well ... which one to geT?>

 

I sideslip on a NeoAir when I use a tent

 

I always sleep on the side of a hill!

 

Surprised to hear that. How come you don't like it?

 

It seems to be love or hate.

I have never used one but my friend does not like his for side sleeping.

But of course plenty of people also love them.

 

Because they don't want you knowing how low their R values truly are.

 

not comfortable for side sleeping

 

Maybe, but it is still rated to 15° which is somewhere in the 3-4 range.
