Re: Re: resurrection - felled seams on a cat curve Jay and Vick (or anyone else) Do you feel that a felled seam is necessary for a ridgeline? I'm actually building a two-man tarp/tent with a double ridgeline similar to the Squall 2. For the ridg... |

Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Pad I've slept on this pad and on the similar POE Max Thermo (both full-length). The BA is more comfortable for back sleeping, and the POE is more comfortable when side sleeping. There's something... |
