> Not sure exactly what CaT means by paper thin.
I'm pretty sure CaT is talking about the original Thermarest self-inflating pads. Pretty thin if you aren't accustomed to sleeping on them. "Paper-thin" is an exaggeration, and if you don't take what you read here with a grain of salt, we could wind up with another huge debate. wink

The Neo-Air from Thermarest is an inflatable air mattress, completely different from the "original" Thermarest pads. Neo-Air is super light weight due to the high-tech material they use.

BTW, bill-e-g, I enjoy your unique "wild animal" pictures.
.....Oh, I just "got" the meaning of your name. grin
