A short Video testing different backpacking pads. The Audio was recorded with an external mic and fixed Levels so the noise is comparable between pads. I also put a synthetic sleepingbag on them to see if it makes a difference (yes it does).
Mats tested (in order of appearance in video):
Therm-A-Rest NeoAir XLite
Therm-A-Rest NeoAir XTherm
Sea to Summit Ultralight Insulated
Exped SynMat HL
Therm-A-Rest Trail Pro
I Chose the XTherm because i felt more comfortable laying on it and because it has the most robust underside. If i use a pillow i can hardly hear the mat crinkling under me.
the shoe on the last cut is size 44 for comparison ;)
