Hello all:
I am thinking about getting a gossamer gear thinlight pad (1/8 inch I think?) for a couple of reasons:
1) I've read good things about them as a lightweight summer option for insulation under the body in hammock camping, and am thinking I could add the pad to my underquilt in the winter for extra warmth (I am kicking my own ass at the moment ;o) i.e., I am currently making an UQ).
2) nine bucks? Can't go wrong.
3) My question is: could I also use this in case I have to go to ground with my girlfriend in the tent? I have a BA air core pad--uninsulated, which is pretty cold--would the 1/8 inch gossamer gear pad do much to warm this pad up? Would a thicker gossamer gear pad do better? Or should I just ditch the uninsulated Big Agnes pad for an insulated one? Anybody had luck with an inflatable pad + GG pad?
Thanks!
