[pct-l] ULA AirX

[Dennis Phelan]

I have the new Mariposa and just love it.  I looked at the ULA line and
chose the Mariposa because it is lighter and has the long outside pocket on
the side, which is perfect for my Tarptent.  I looked at the AirX and
didn't think it would work for me a side-sleeper.  I have since read some
reviews that makes think I made the right choice on the sleeping pad.  The
ULA line of packs has a good reputation and if I got one I would not get
the AirX.
