I'm buying two more sleeping pads for the oab_household as our ancient Quechua pads have finally died.

We do lug them in canoe and backpacks. We do use them down to about freezing.

Comfort and warmth over weight and pack size. Must be quiet, not crisp packet.

Budget is under £100 each, preferably less.

What's on offer/do you suggest?

I have Synmat 5 UL that worked well in sub zero conditions.
They're about £60 online just now too. Pack up pretty small - suitable for taking on the bike.

Thermarest Prolite or Prolite Plus. A lot cheaper and quieter than the Neoair models, though don't pack quite as small. And lifetime warranty.

Another happy synmat user here. Particularly like using the schnozzle bag to inflate too.

You've gone soft in your old age!

I really liked my Alpkit Fat Airic. They have changed the names but still looks like good value stuff.
