I had my eye on this for the better part of a year and read all the reviews.For some expeditionary sleeping arrangements that I required recently, I invested in this and have been entirely pleased.While many hammock sleepers may prefer a double hammock, this pad fits equally well in a single. In fact, the “V” creates more roominess by helping to spread the fabric.My purpose was to build a personal sleeping system that can fit in my ruck and be used in forest as well as flatland. For that reason, the additional width of the “V” makes for a very comfortable ground pad.I wanted the additional insulated version to cover the winter months. I can sleep quite comfortably when paired with a cocoon style sleeping bag.By no means ultralight, the V in conjunction with hammock, cocoon, and stasha tarp offer options for a variety of terrain and climate while still weight less than a USMC sleep and shelter system.As part of testing out my setup, I found the V to remain inflated for weeks as I keep my setup in my back woods. We did receive some heavy rain, and while everything else was able to air out, the V notches held some rain water. Removing was as simple as shaking it off.
