Article: Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Sleeping Pad Editorial Review
I've had 2 of these, and my complaint is that they just don't hold air. I can't tell if there is a problem with the design of the valve, or if the sheet material is porous allowing air to escape over time, but I've reconciled to having to blow it up every night before going to bed, and knowing that it's going to be very soft by the time morning comes around. The first I exchanged and the one I exchanged for has the same problem.There's no obvious puncture (happened first use, right out of the stuffsack on both), and the leaking on both of them has been so slow that it takes a few hours to notice anything's happening. Kind of a pain in the ass, otherwise it's 5 stars all around, which is why I've kept it!! Beats thermarest, foam pads, and anything else I've tried hands down in the comfort and packability departments.
