Increasing sleep comfort in the hills

3-4 ounces of sambuca does wonders when you’re completely exhausted. Definitely worth the weight.

Exped-9, as good as it gets without sleeping on a bed, or a cot.

I'll second this. Been using Exped's for years and you just can't beat them. As with all quality gear - buy once, cry once.

I’m past the days of proving my manliness by drinking straight whiskey. I think I’ve already drank two lifetimes worth of whiskey, so I stick to stuff with less adverse effects.

i'm not a high country anything........just a low country, getting phat and old, guy

5 years ago did the bowron lakes and because i have back problems, knee problems.........heck now it seems my problems have problems.......we bought the exped 7

one of the best things ever purchased

i have amortized it down to about $25 per sleep now............(i don't get out much)

no idea if it meets your weight restrictions, yet it appears quite durable, and oooooooh that goose down provides a good barrier between you and mother earth

as HC says, buy once, cry once

Neo air all season xl, crunchy like a bag of chips but I got used to it. I like it .

For some reason, whiskey seems to hurt my face and knuckles

I went to REI to buy an Exped - I walked out with a Sea to Summit. They didn't have the exped I wanted. The Sea to Summit is incredible. I'm a side sleeper as well. This is 100% better than the ole thermarest. absolutely worth a few extra $$. I had my old thermarest for 20 years - and then my kids lost it. I'm happy to spend a few extra bucks on something I can actually sleep on.

I use the downmat 9 lw for late season and the synmat ul for sheep hunting.

I've tried a few combos, what works for me( side or stomach sleeper) is the Thermarest neo air Xtherm, and a Thermarest Z-lite underneath. The Z lite comes with me during the day for a glassing seat pad.
