Guy at REI told me to get a Therm-a-Rest Z Lite instead of an air pad. Hated it at first but he was 100% right.

Back in March I was shopping for a sleeping pad in Denver for a 4 day trip to Moab. Employee there maybe 60 years old, told me to save my money and get the foam pad. I thought he was crazy. First night my hips hurt so bad I barely slept. But by day 3 I got used to it and realized I never had to worry about leaks or pump sacks. Also way lighter. Has anyone else had an old school recommendation that actually worked out better than the new stuff?

Two nights on the Z Lite and my hips finally stopped yelling at me.

Z Lite changed my game too. Can't beat the simplicity.
