TREKOLOGY - UL R7 Camping Sleeping Pad

Trekology UL R7 on amazon, never got cold.

You can get the Big Agnes Rapide for $200 (https://geartrade.ca/products/big-agnes-rapide-sl-insulated-long) but Justin Outdoors seemed to like the TREKOLOGY UL R7 which is considerably cheaper on Amazon.

This is my first sleeping pad so no idea how it compares for comfort but I slept well on it over Easter weekend - Trekology UL R7.

I just got the Trekology UL R7 sleeping pad for my husband and I. Only slept on it one night but it was comfy. I’m a side sleeper. Trying them again Easter weekend so we’ll see. We got the Nemo Tempo bags. For my kids (about the same age as yours), we got the Big Agnes Divide because it fits in a sleeve for their sleeping bags (also Big Agnes) so they don’t roll onto the ground. We did pay more than some other stuff but we went fairly lightweight and compressable in case we try backpacking too.

I can't speak firsthand for sleeping bags because I use a quilt. The one I have is made by Hammock Gear. I read many people speak highly of Aegismax sleeping bags which you can buy on AliExpress. I'm typically a side sleeper and prefer inflatable pads. I have a Trekology for warmer weather and a Gear Doctors pad for colder weather. I bought both on Amazon. I believe the YouTuber JustinOutdoors tested out sleep pads and found a nature hike one he was a big fan of. I have a handful of items I've bought on Temu and AliExpress which I love- daypack, long handle titanium spoon, titanium pot, ultralight scissors, inflatable pillow.

Yes I use a Trekology with a foil backed foam mat underneath, and a foil blanket between me and the pad. It works well and I don't get cold. But that's with a heavy as fuck synthetic four season sleeping bag, liner, and bivvy bag too, and wearing pyjamas, socks and a buff. It's all part of a system.
