"I had a Big Agnes for a decade. ... It sprung a leak on a trip this time last year. ... I found the leak on a seam and called to ask about repairing it. ... They asked for a pic, which I sent as well as a pic of the valve cut off (per their instructions) and my new pad arrived in a few days. No charge. ... I’ll never buy a pad from a different manufacturer again."
"Bought my Big Agnes pad for $100 at REI ten years ago and still going strong. ... Not a single leak."
"I’ve had it for 8 years, which feels kinda unreal for an inflable. ... Never had an issue with it and definitely put it through the gauntlet- camped in the desert a lot, cowboy camped, camped on rocky areas. ... Never had a leak. ... Love it and feel like it’s worth the price tag"

"their pads are a disaster. Lots of leaking from those weird dimples they have."
"Big Agnes has valve issues ... mine didn't even last 3 uses"
"After two months on the road it is now failing almost every night. ... I’ve exhausted the patches that came with the pad and it’s now covered with third party gear repair patches. ... I paid good money for this thing and it is absolutely not worth it."

"it is the loudest pad I’ve yet used. ... the BA pad was so awful."
"I'd say it's at the very least quieter than my Big Agnes that I used most recently."
"Some of the UL pads will have a crinkly sound to them and if you move around a lot at night you will make a lot of noise. No big if you're solo, but partners usually don't love it."

"Big Agnes has valve issues ... mine didn't even last 3 uses"
"The one I have has a terrible valve that seems to be designed to be as inconvenient as possible. ... You have to blow into it, but there's a bit of resistance to air coming in, and the valve is such that it's hard to tell if it's open or closed. ... I'm attaching a piece of an old bicycle inner tube to make it possible to use a bike pump."
"PITA to fill up every night"

"Big Agnes pads, I have 3, tend to sleep cold so I discount their R values."
"the R value is a little exaggerated"
"But alas not as warm"

"Big Agnes is way heavier"
"BA and Exped are the only two brands I've liked, unfortunately, the comfortable ones are NOT UL."
"Certainly heavier than the neoair though"
