Product Description

An Uber insulated 4 Season version of our Uber-lite with 1.5 thick, highly insulative, drilled Mtn-Core foam. A sleeping pad that articulates easily at the middle for optimum tail and kidney comfort and insulates when caught out on an unplanned ledge-bivy.

REGARDING VALVE PLACEMENT

The valve was originally tested at an angle but it caused discomfort at the shoulder when our testers rolled over on it, hence the valve placement at the head. By placing the valve at the head we were also able to better integrate the open cell insert into the closed cell top and bottom of the Hyper Lite pads that the tool was originally designed for. It was also thought that users normally place some sort of pillow under their head.

Dow Williamspay attention...

Voted 5/5

to the dimensions it folds down to...unreal, takes up no space, therefore slips in your pack versus the outside. Does all it needs to when you are going light, insulates and provides cushioning for the hip and shoulder area. Valve thing makes since, I have no problem with it. Hard core light at 10oz by 9".

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
