Great for car camping or backpacking. This is the classic sleeping pad, self-inflating, and because of the foam interior it is much warmer than the more trail-specific air pads,  but also more packable so it doesn't take up all your trunk space!  When you think of "Thermarest," this is the pad. Packlist has selected this as one of our sleeping pad options because of its ease of use, packability, durability, and comfort.
