Pacific Outdoor Equipment Uber-Lite Sleeping Pad - The name says it all.

Is it just me or is it that the lighter sleeping pads get, the smaller they get? How long will it be before we just end up sleeping on the ground again? I guess if you are a super lightweight packer, you probably already sleep on the ground. For those of you who aren’t hardcore lightweight packers, but do want to save a few ounces, then you may want to look into the Pacific Outdoor Equipment Uber-Lite Sleeping Pad.

The Pacific Outdoor Equipment Uber-Lite Sleeping Pad is a three season sleeping pad that offers insulation and padding only where you need it. This strategically placed insulation and padding helps to keep the weight down to the bare minimum. So, just how much does the Pacific Outdoor Equipment Uber-Lite Sleeping Pad weigh? The pad barely tips the scales at a mere nine ounces.

Packing up into about a 5 x 8 in. size, the Pacific Outdoor Equipment Uber-Lite Sleeping Pad is small enough even for a day pack. It may be important to note that the shoulder section of the Pacific Outdoor Equipment Uber-Lite Sleeping Pad has a slightly lower R-rating than the torso section.

The quick & dirty:
