Big Agnes Air Core REM Sleeping Pad

 Brand : Big Agnes
Item : BAG0011
Big Agnes REM Air Core Sleeping Pad incredibly light and comfortable. The Big Agnes REM Air Core is made of a durable 70 denier nylon fabric. I-beam construction provides longitudinal rigidity and gives shape to the pad. The I-beam construction also allows air to flow freely in and out, and reduces inflation time to a quick two minutes. The Air Core pads stuff to the size of a Nalgene water bottle and weighs a mere 22oz (medium), yet provides a whopping 2.5” thick backcountry bed. When used with any Big Agnes sleeping bag, the Air Core pad can be left in the pad sleeve, deflated and stuffed with the bag right into its stuff sack. How's that for ingenuity? ALL REM SLEEP PADS COME WITH A STUFF SACK, REPAIR KIT, AND A 100% GUARANTEE.

Big Agnes Air Core REM Sleeping Pad



REM Air Core Sleeping Pad
Just back from a two week trip where I slept every night on this pad. I used it with my new Big Agnes Cross Mountain bag that has a pocket to accomodate it. I was happy with the bag/pad combination (never coming off the pad is great) but must admit I was missing my Therm-a-Rest by the end of the trip. While extremely high quality (it is guaranteed for a lifetime and it may last that long), the pad does not have the "foam" feel I like in a sleeping pad. It basically feels like a pool float. It must be totally manually inflated to use, which takes about 20 breaths. On two of the nightes I was at a base camp and had a matress or cot to sleep on. But the nature of the pad required that I inflate it anyway, or remove it from the bag. I chose to inflate it. Not doing so would have left a crinkly liner that would have made noise every time I moved on it.


What more can you ask for?
I mean really, what more do you need? It takes 2-3 minutes to blow the darn thing up and you sleep like a baby for the night. Very light for a pad of this caliber and very compact when it's in its stuff sack. I was sliding during my sleep, but that was only because my genius partner chose an inclined camp spot. In short, you won't be disappointed because you won't be awake. Can't forget about the price tag!


Revolutionary!
I bought this sleeping pad for a camping trip overseas. Aside from being very light-weight and compact - a bonus for air travel - this airpad is extremely comfortable. My wife, who equated camping with having a sore back is now excited about camping, thanks to this mattress.


Pure comfort...
I slept better on this pad than I recall sleeping on my full-size thermarest. I also bought the Big Agnes Lost Ranger bag to go with it...nice to have the pad and bag tied together. When I first lie on the pad it feels a little weird just having air under me, but, the feeling quickly fades. In the past I have often awakened during the night with an arm or hand that has fallen asleep. I haven't had it happen with this pad.


Hip Saver
Ever wake up after a night under the stars and wish you'd sprung from a cheap motel because your hips are screaming in agony? Not with this pad. Best piece of gear I've purchased in years. Next up is the Big Easy Chair Kit so I can lounge on this supremely comfortable air mattress.
