Slept on this mat for 8 days straight in the mountains. The mat was comfortable, never lost any air and most of all it was warm in the -2 temperatures.
Most comfortable lightweight sleeping mat I've ever slept on, and I've slept on a few. Not as light as some but worth the weight penalty IMO. Easy to inflate/deflate and packs down well. Highly recommend.
The Rapide is extremely comfortable - I am upgrading to this from the thermarest neoair which I find very uncomfortable.. I am willing to carry a few extra grams for this comfort. it is quite high off the ground which seems to make it feel a little narrower once inflated. Consider getting a wide option if you are after super dooper comfort and are happy with the extra weight. The inflation sack provided works but is heavy and quite small..
Very comfortable great insulation from ground during these winter conditions and frosts.
Great mat, super warm, so pleased I spent the money to get this
