My Locale Leslie Erickson hasn't told us about their geographical region yet.
About Me I've only been backpacking and hiking for a few years, but I'm totally hooked. Started with The Wave, then Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim, and a lot of day hikes. Can't wait to tackle the JMT this summer.

Re: combo of inflatable and foam?
Greg and Herbert - those seem like really good suggestions - combining the two. I'll also check into the warranty on my current one. Thanks so much for the ideas!

Ben - Not so young any more. I'm hiking the JMT in July and I worry about the pad springing a leak. Don't want to get caught without a pad at all. But I love the cushion. Ugh. Decisions.
