Q-Core SLX sleeping pad, by Big Agnes
The sleeping pad is a key ingredient to a successful camping trip. Most importantly, it provides a barrier between you and the ground, allowing you to retain your body heat and stay warm throughout the night. It also brings a bit of plush, homey comfort to the backcountry.
The Q-Core SLX is the whole package. It’s rated down to 15 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning it’ll work in most any camping scenario, weighs a mere 635 grams (in 20″ x 72″ size) for outstanding packability and has a double ripstop construction that significantly ups its durability. Dual valves, a one-way inflation valve and one for quick deflation, make it incredibly easy to set up and stow away, too.
