[pct-l] Sleeping Pad

[Steel-Eye]

Good afternoon,

 

I make my own foldable pads.  I start with a regular thin blue pad and cut it crossways into as many sections as I want, of whatever size I want.  Then I space the sections apart about 1/8" and lay a strip of duct tape the length of the seam on each side.  That makes a hinge for folding.



One of my pads even has thick foam from hip to shoulder, then thinner foam further down..

  So I'm looking for a lightweight, closed cell, foam sleeping pad that folds like a Thermarest Z-rest, but not that one.  I don't want to go with a short pad....more like 3/4 or full length.  Do any other companies make one that you'd recommend?  I've seen dark green ones on peoples packs but don't know who made 'em!

  Thanks!
