Big Agnes or ThermaRest sleep pads?
I'd pick neither. Big Agnes leaks to much, and Therma rest is for hikers/
backpackers. Id pick a Pacific Outdoors Pro core or Mega mat. Its the most comfortable and is designed for rough use in a vehicle. Here's the link. http://www.pacoutdoor.com/2005/index.cfm wrote in message ... I'm looking for a sleep pad for COMFORT.

You asked about comfort in a vehicle without a cot. Vehicles can be somewhat harsh on pads. There's things to catch on. Floors are uneven. There's sometimes bolts and things there. I have the pro core. It is for maximum comfort in a vehicle .It is bullet proof, but can be rolled up. The only thing that can take rougher use is a bed mattress. But you asked about Big Agnes or Therma rest. Big Agnes is hit or miss, and have a lot of failures. On their plus side, I haven't heard anyone not get a new one if theirs leaks when new. Therma rest can be bullet proof. Not very comfortable either. But in a vehicle weight is almost not important and comfort is. So you cant beat either of my suggestions, because they are very thick, 4 season , and designed for vehicles. Good luck. |
