Here's our short review of the Therm-A-Rest Ridgerest SOLite foam sleeping pad.
I had been using a nice, comfy Big Agnes AirCore pad, but I recently decided that I needed to go ultralight (due to certain back injuries that I've had over the years). A 27 ounce sleeping pad is just too heavy for me to carry, so I got a SOLite. It was a bit of a change, obviously. Anyway, you can watch the video here:

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the SOLite. I'm planning on butchering mine up a little. I want to cut it down to a 3/4 pad. I just bought a Gossamer Gear G4 pack and I'm going to use a bit of the remaining 1/4 pad to put in my pack to give it a little structure, then pull it out to use as camp seat.
Also, there's more stuff on our blog: http://twogearguysblog.blogspot.com/
Thanks!
