Ridge Rest 3/4 Sleeping Pad
Lightest bed pad
For me, one of the pleasures of hiking or trail running is the ability to stop anywhere anytime and read a book or take a nap. With a light pad strapped to my daypack (I like the small Marmot Talus), that's always an option. I can recline on rocky ground, sit on wet moss, and generally treat the wild like a living room. The torso-length Ridge Rest rolls compactly and is plenty soft and warm enough to serve as all-night pad with my sleeping bag.
