  • This was the most thorough and precise video on this subject matter that I’ve seen. Great job. From my experience down to -8F, you are correct in your science. Thanks damn good
  • @chrisschell90
    Thorough and concise as ever Justin. Will definitely use this as a reference.

    This is probably the best comparative sleeping pad video I've ever seen on Youtube! Very well done! Personally, my preference is to use a 3 season pad all year, and just add foam layers beneath in winter. For snow camping I use Nemo Tensor Insulated+Thermarest Z-Lite+ Gossmer Gear Thinlite1/8". The combined stack provides an R-value of 6, and I don't need to buy more than one inflatable pad.

    Thanks for the breakdown - This really helped explain a lot of my issues being cold with the Ether XT Extreme. I'll definitely be picking up the Xtherm, if I can find one :p
  • @never_arrive

  • @thisismylaine
    This is a really interesting video and I like how you tested them/shared your own experience of winter camping. Thank you!

    you make such great videos. answering questions that I have before I can even ask them. Thank you!!
  • @bluejeans8001
    Very informative video and really appreciate your “user oriented “ review format vs simply regurgitate manufacturers specs.
  • @lisastarmer7012
    Comfort is more important to me and the winters here in Tennessee don't get as cold as where are you are living. Thanks for the comparisons and I am going to buy the Ether Light XT Extreme. This will be my 3rd pad to try out and I am hoping I will be able to sleep the whole night!
  • One of my favorite videos of yours! Full of lot of really cool information that isn't just opinion based
  • @HayLinLa
    I have the Exped Synmat Winter HL M and it has the same valve. To deflate it you just pull on that little green bit that's poking out of the center and it pops the green bit halfway out, allowing you to simply lay on the mat and roll it to deflate it like the others. You definitely do not have to push it in the whole time.
  • This was a very good insightful video Justin, well done 👏🏼
  • Appreciate all your hard work and thorough review Justin I just purchased the STS ether can't wait to try it in the cold!!😁✌💚
  • Thanks Justin, that's was very thorough real world review, very rare with other gear reviews.👍
