NeoAir All Season SV

Your combined R-value should theoretically work for 29F, so something's off. A few possibilities: Ground temps drop 10-20F below air temp at night, so you were dealing with potentially 10-20F ground temp. The 2.1 R-value pad is pretty low. those budget FeatherStone pads often don't perform to their rated spec. Same with the Paria, decent but not consistent. My guess: you had a thermal bridge happening where the low-R pad was letting cold through in spots. Pads also lose R-value as they compress over time. For future trips, look at the NEMO Tensor (R-4.2) or Therm-a-Rest NeoAir (R-4.8) in the $100 range. Better yet, get one solid R-5+ pad instead of combining lower-rated ones.

These are great we still have ours. Still going strong.

The therm-a-rest is the most popular and i have the blue one but depending on the conditions you camp in you could pick the lighter one (yellow). That being said this one and the nemo extreme conditions will have higher denier material underneath which makes them less prone to puncture. I don’t know about the other ones on top of my head. Nemo and thermarest both have good warranties and spare parts, so I’d be leaning towards that. It’s polarizing but both are known to make a lot og noise no matter what they claim.

You might want to try a different sleeping mat. I have an ultra light weight one for if I'm going up high or away for a long stretch. I don't get a great sleep on it, but it's ok after a hard day's walk. I have a slightly heavier and larger mat for easier trips and I get a MUCH better sleep on it. I tend to roll off the smaller one.

You can get some really good light weight mats with high R ratings, but they're not cheap. They are, however, well worth the money. Summit camping or long treks you'll want something that keeps you warm, is comfortable enough for a proper sleep and not too heavy. Unfortunately that means spending a bit. You can but something a bit cheaper and a bit heavier if you can rely on fitness to carry the extra weight. But don't save money by dropping comfort. And insulation is an important part of the comfort

It really depends on your budget, height, tent size, sleeping style etc. I have a thermorest that is good. And I think the larger one is a naturehike. I'd highly recommend that one for comfort.

Just cut one down. I did that with a thermarest.

With sleep and floor time being a premium, I had a thin fleece sleeping bag and Thermarest mat, or foam sleeping pad. I bungeed this above my seat so when we arrived I didn’t have to wait and go under the bus to throw them down and grab an extra 30 -45 minutes rest. I watched as people mucked about for 45 minutes sometimes. This also cut down on EPL time for me as a front ensemble member which was also at a premium.

Sleepign bag needs to be down and much much much lighter abd more expensive. The one you picked is going to be very heavy and very bulky it won't fit into a backpack. Buy a good quality mattress as well thermarest if yours pops your not gonna have a fun trip. You dont need a multi tool, that things massive get a tiny ten dollar knife. That first aid kit is useless. Pack your own from home with the medicine you normally use. Have fun.
