Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Sleeping Pad Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Large pad along with the Big Agnes Hog Park sleeping bag, as I'm well over 200 lbs. The Hog Park is rated for 20 degrees. I also have the 40 degree Buffalo Park bag for warmer weather. The pack size of between the two is significant. However, the Hog Park compacts to 10 x 19 and the sleeping bag just barely stuffs in the stuff sack...great job at making the sack as small is needed Big Agnes.

The 40 degree Buffalo Park compacts much smaller that the Hog Park sleeping bag...but, it is only a 40 degree bag. So, buy accordingly.

The pad fits absolutely perfect into the sleeping bag slot..perfect. There's even a cutout in the back for the air valve...great system.

Now, to the pad. True, you have to blow it up. No biggie and I am willing to do that to get a couple more inches off the ground, as apposed to the Therma-Rest units, which are 1.5" thick at the most. I'm a side sleeper and 1.5" ain't going to cut it.

I've already tested the Big Agnes pad and I find it's most comfortable to NOT fully inflate it. The best I find is about 80% and this makes for a softer feel. I also believe this will preserve the mattress's longevity, as it's not being strained by being fully inflated with a person on top. Just my opinion.

I'm a big guy and the Big Agnes pad and sleeping bag system is the way to go. I am VERY happy with the room to move around and the comfort of the pad being sufficiently high enough off of the ground to isolate me from ground bumps and whatnot.

The pad also packs very small and it's very light, comparable to the competition...

It's a winner
