Review on Ultralight Hitorhike Backpack Camping Sleeping Pad - Inflatable Air Mattress, Insulated For Travel, Hiking, Scouts & Backpacking (Green) by Tim Clark

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lightweight and comfortable.

I was trying to create a lightweight bugout bag for spring and summer use. This sleeping pad fits the bill. It's very lightweight, but seems durable. The attached pillow is always a must for me when buying a sleeping pad. This sleeping pad, a lightweight nylon Italian army bivy bag and a USGI patrol sleeping bag form my lightweight sleep system. An Esbit mini for cooking, and a stainless steel mug for hot drinks and cooking. A two Qt. USGI canteen for water carrying. Plenty of room and weight left for ramen noodles and Knorr rice sides as food. I could easily stay out for a week if needed with a ready to go ruck weighing around 20 lbs. The Sawyer mini water filter is a must, as water is always necessary.

Pros
  • Weighs mere ounces, making it lightweight and durable for long-term use
Cons
  • May take a long time to fully dry after use, leading to unpleasant odors and mold growth
