Divide / Air Core Ultra Series

I used a Nemo tensor +tyvek through all of the AZT. No punctures. Everything is poky in az. Consider tyvek. It’s the most comfy UL pad I could find as a side sleeper. Otherwise my big Agnes divide is more comfy but heavy.

You must be a warm sleeper. I would classify myself as an average-to-cold sleeper, and I'd absolutely freeze on an R2 CCF at 32F. Forget about going lower. The first time I ever slept comfortably at freezing temperatures was the first time that I used an insulated inflatable sleeping pad (Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Ultra, R4). I was 38 at the time. The previous 27 years of my camping experience, I slept on CCF and froze my ass off whenever the temps were below 50F.

I use Big Agnes aircore ultra and its comfortable but its not super duper light (I got it on a super discount). Light enough for me but there are probably better options if you are willing to pay for them. Im a big tall guy with wide shoulders so sleeping on a thin pad I kind of get "folded up." You could probably go down to 3" and be fine to while opening up to more lightweight options.

For "comfort" backpacking I use a Big Agnes Divide Insulated wide pad. 25" wide. Sleeps so good being a side/stomach sleeper. 30oz weight

I need to investigate this. I got a BA Divide last year for a trip. When I tried it at home on the carpeted den floor, I didn't notice a sound. Got in my tent on the trip and laid down and it sounded like I was on a balloon. I may have to carry a light sheet of fabric to put down next time.
