Multi-use Pad
This sleeping pad is great. I bought a full length one and cut off the last four sections to make it a 3/4. I use the extra section for a seat cushion when car camping. The Z-lite works great with my ULA and Golite packs since they do not have internal frames. I use the Z-lite as a frame. No worries about getting a hole it in either. I replace mine after about 600-800 miles of hiking.

Great for car camping
Like previous reviewers, this is not necessarily ideal for backpacking because it does not shrink or compact down to smaller sizes. It's extremely comfortable because of the egg carton like construction.

Bought it... but sent it back
This pad is definately comfortable but, I was unhappy with its pack size. Went with the ProLite 3 instead.
