[pct-l] sleeping pads

[Bill Burge]

Yeah, we bought two of the non-pump Exped Downmat 9's from an instructor in our Sierra Club WTC class.  

We haven't gotten to try them on snow, but on a trip where we used Big Ag Insulated Aircores on top Z-Rests, while camping on three feet of snow, he used just the Exped and loved it. We subsidized his upgrade to the new ones with the built-in pumps.
