Review on WELLAX Ultralight Air Sleeping Pad: Inflatable Mattress For Backpacking, Traveling, Camping & Hiking - Includes Repair Kit & Carry Bag! by Jaya Walsh

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Tall and wide easily inflates

Looking for a lightweight sleep pad for backpacking for tall people? This might do it. Photo is next to my Kelty Coyote 85L. This weighed in at 17 oz. w/ the included stuff sack.Out of the package it seems as solid as the high end pads. No discerning smell. It is a little crinkle sounding, but for a light pad, it is expected.Easy to inflate with 9 deep breaths. The width and length are great for me at 6' 3" at 240#. Not as light as some higher end narrow and shorter pads, but for the price it's worth a shot. Gives me more than double a foam mat would.This is replacing my Big Agnes SLX Q-Core to drop my pack weight by one lb. For some backpacking trips on the AT. It has a dual valve with two caps. Unplug both to deflate. Plug in the first to inflate in the one-way valve. Plug in the second into the first and voila it is sealed.It comes with directions with some caution about inflating it overnight before use or to not inflate it with breath in freezing temps as ice could form and damage it. The warning also says to use it on a ground sheet or inside a tent and not direct on the ground.Makes sense. Most say that.I will update as I use it more.
