"Pads like the Xtherm (with good convective heat loss mechanisms) outperform pads like the Tensor XC (minimal convectove eat loss mechanisms) even though the Tensor XC has a higher tested rvalue. ... Stevens testing reinforces what I have also been seeing in the field while testing dozens of pads in every temperature possible. ... The other issue is that companies are designing to max the ASTM standard and "taking advantage of" the hole in the standard in order to push really high r-values that don't hold up when you're all of a sudden in air temps of -40."
"The best warmth to weight ratio pad on the market is the Therm-A-Rest XTherm. ... really fucking warm though so only get it if you sleep cold."
"and the best warmth to weighy ratio on the market."

"Exactly this! I also just switched from NeoAir to Exped for this reason after trying my partner's Exped. So much more comfortable although ever so slightly bigger/heavier."
"i wish i was more comfortable on thermarest neoair but i just can't sleep good on horizontal baffles. ... No - Thermarest baffling is not comfortable for me."
"The Xtherm with its horizontal baffles regularly made me feel as though I was about to roll off the side."
