Big agnes insulated q core sleeping pad review.

Most comfortable it s hyatt level comfort for only a pound says one tester who calls the ounce shaving mummy shape and 3 5 inches of cushion the ideal balance of efficiency and comfort. It s a rating that shows the insulating properties of a sleeping pad. Big agnes claims that its insulated q core is the most comfortable pad on the planet. The big agnes air core scored poorly in our review but may be a good budget option if you can t afford a more luxurious sleeping pad.

A sleeping pad is a necessary part of your sleep system. Well i can t answer that but i can tell you that it is the most comfortable pad i have ever slept on. Tired of miserable sleepless nights in the backcountry. The big agnes insulated q core sleeping pad blends supportive alternating i beam construction and synthetic insulation for an incredibly comfortable sleeping surface on the cold hard ground.

The big agnes q core slx is a super cushy sleeping pad that differentiates itself from other pads with its large side rails that help keep users centered and 4 25 inches of supportive thickness. Yes our pads provide bed like comfort from rocks and dirt but more importantly they insulate you from the ground up. The slx is one of the thickest backpacking pads on the market which means it s really comfortable but also that there s a lot of space to fill with your lungs. The big agnes q core slx insulated pad is an extremely light and comfortable pad to sleep on in any condition.

All big agnes pads feature a proven r value. The q core inflate deflate valve is very small diameter and the idea of blowing spit and breath humidity into the big agnes through the tiny mouth piece mat is distasteful. The integrated air pump will fill this pad in aboutone quarter of the time needed to blow up the q core pad with lung power. Take the comfort of your bed outdoors with the big agnes insulated q core sl.

Because it isn t insulated we don t recommend this pad if you expect to encounter snow or cold weather. Give the four season big agnes insulated q core a try.
