UltraLight SI Sleeping Pad

You'll have to ditch the camping comforts if you want to backpack in higher altitudes, but if you're willing to sacrifice some packing space and about thirteen ounces, then Sea to Summit's UltraLight SI Sleeping Pad will make a world of difference. The difference, of course, is enjoying gigantic granite cirques, lush vegetation, and rocky summits with or without a sore back. This self-inflating pad cradles specific areas of contact—hips, shoulders, and more—with Delta Core-V technology to keep your back prime for the climb.
