Not As Expected, No Cushion

These mats provided no cushion for tent camping. Ground still felt very hard.

The Mat Is Definitely Not

the mat is definitely not like the "original". The material is hard and Slippery and not soft as the one I have used for over 3 decades

Best Pad

I have used multiple of these over the years. They are arguably the singular top pick for durability, and a very good pick for warmth and comfortability. Not heavy, and basically this is the single best bang for buck piece of camping gear you will ever buy in your life. If you can manage to damage one, you will be buying another.

Good For Army.

For when you need something bomb proof that has no possibility of letting you down. Serves its purpose perfectly. Not the most advanced or comfortable pad out there but if you want to travel hard and fast and not worry about holes or deflation , give this a try.

Indispensable !!!

I have 2 Ridgerest pads. I use one as extra comfort on top of my yoga mat. Purchased 10 yrs ago Can't live without it!!!!! Use it daily. Pure pleasure. I use the 2nd one, purchased 2 yrs. ago, for comfort, lying on the stone deck of an outdoor pool in the summer. I do not allow it to get wet. I also use one as cushioning to do ankle/leg balance exercises for rehab after a broken ankle. One constructive criticism, the first mat, bought 10 years ago, is shorter than the newer mat. I much prefer the shorter one. Fabulous investment. Joy in my life.

This Is My Second Pad,

This is my second pad, my first is still in the mix after many thousand miles ,but more importantly countless short day hikes which turned into overnighters. I own at least three or four of the latest and greatest mattress pads but as I pack for for my next trek I always grab my pad. I know what to expect and have confidence that I will get a good nights sleep. Since I have been hiking I never used anything but my pad, not counting the old insulate pad from days gone bye.

Works Great For The Extra

Works great for the extra insulation/cushioning I wanted. Happy that this quality product is still being made.

Owned One Before And Liked

Owned one before and liked it but have evolved to a big agnes q core deluxe pad however im doing a 242 mile river trip in october and wanted a back up pad should the q core pad experience issues. I have repair kits, but having the ridgerest pad there in addition gives me of mind that no matter what, im protected from the hard cold ground.

Too Hard

The size is great, and I'm almost 6', but the sleeping pad is hard. The hard surface combined with ridges makes it even more uncomfortable than if it were smooth. I would have preferred a softer version.

Perfect For Bushcraft, Backpacking And Minimalist Car Camping!!

I have yet to use it but I will be trying it out soon!!! I have a feeling it will be amazing like all Therm-A-Rest products :).

Prefer Older, Shorter Version

I have had your almost identical Ridgerest mat for about 5 years. I adore everything about it. I use it for yoga/meditation/stretching at home. The new mat is about 6-8 inches longer. Prefer the shorter one.

I Sleep On It!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pad is great for sleeping. Very light! No need to worry about inflating or getting a hole. I also use it as a boat bumper to protect my boat at the dock.

Excellent All-purpose Use

I love these old school RidgeRest Classic's. I keep them in my cars, and my shed, and around the house. Any time I have to get down on my knees or look under my car or exercise on the floor / ground. They do the trick. My only disappointment is that they were only offered in the largest size when I purchased recently. For my purposes, the old medium size was perfect. I plan to cut these down but I just haven't gotten around to it.

Used It On My Cot

Used it on my cot and was surprised how much different the temperature was without it. Light weight, good bang for your buck.

Perfect Pad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Closed cell sleeping pads are the only way to go. Unroll no waiting and in morning 10 second roll and ready to go .Air pockets hold heat as self inflated do not. Never worry about a leak. All it takes is a pin hole and you night will end. And these pads will not separate from foam inside. They last forever. 5 stars.
