    Default Z-rest

    Favorite lightweight sleeping pad? Probably a closed cell pad such as the Z-rest.

    Default Sleeping Pads

    I use the thermarest ultralight 3/4. I also carry a 4 section piece of a Z-rest to use as a seat on the ground as well as under my feet at night. Have used that system for quite a while now and used it on my thru last year.

    Works for me ...

    Default Link-rest

    Ashamed to admit i've tried so many - but there's ony one true love for me; the smooth comfort of the Link-Rest! the fact that it's cheap & light is just a bonus. i choose it for the comfort.
