I'm finding a little more comfort on sleep gear can trump a little less weight. I have replaced my ProLite 3 with the ProLite 4. I sleep better and thus can trek longer and faster.

I live in a very cold city and need very resistant and warm sleeping pad but having little size. In addition, i dont like to carry too heavy backpack in trekking, hiking and mountain skiing travels. So, ProLite4 perfectly covers all my espectations. Rolls up in a very convenient size to backpacking, and its R.Value (3.2) is good for sleeping on snow (at least inside tent) and frozen places.
Just one thing didn`t like to much: its dificult to inflate. It`s not so automatic how i would like prefer, and need many blows to get fully inflated. (note: i have use it just one time after unpacking, so may be the reason) But it isn´t a very important thing, considering its others benefices.
Very Good Product. Mine is a "Regular Size" and perhaps would be better a "large size" but don`t matter to me.

Bottom Line:

Super comfortable, I honestly didn't think it would be since it looked so thin. But when it's inflated it really takes on the terrain to help you sleep well. It's rated for all four seasons as well, so you end up warm at night.
