Your bottom will thank you! Light, compact and easy to store/pack - well worth the cost.
Color: Coyote / Silver
This pad is great, I was amaze how light it was. When folded up, there is an elastic cord with plastic clasp that keeps it from unfolding on you. I used this pad frequently while hunting this past year. At times I would sit for hours on this pad, it provided a reasonable amount of cushion for these periods and for hunters, this pad is quiet as long as the fabric you are wearing does not stick to it. Additionally the foam does act as an insulation if sitting on snow, which was nice. My only issue in the snow was the pad is a bit small and I ended up getting my back side a bit wet. Overall great pad. For size, it’s close to the size of a standard pillow you would sleep on only narrower. If you are a bigger person or think you would like to spread out a bit, one idea is buy a similar Therm-a-Rest sleeping pad and cut it into two or three sections, cut in thirds, each pad would be about 50% larger than this size. The only issue is you do not get the nice elastic cord to hold it together.

Love it!
Color: Coyote / Silver
Bought this on a recommendation. Quality you would expect from the brand. Was skeptical about buying one JUST for sitting but its been a huge morale boost. Light enough that you don't notice it all and can be rubber band tied on but giving such an increase in comfort of short stops/snack breaks, lunch etc. Additionally, I hammock camp and "cold butt syndrome" is solved by having this to lay on.

Backpacking butt-saver
Color: Coyote / Silver
Saved my butt, literally. 50 year old backpacker here. I brought this cushion on my last trip, and it was pretty nice to have a soft, squishy parking spot for my rearend, especially with the sharp stones and sticks everywhere. Folds up super light, easily fits in my drink pocket on my Osprey 65L (with room to spare). After multiple uses, still no sign of damage, punctures, or weak spots in the folds. Only bummer is the price tag, lol.

Pricey, but worth it
Color: Limon / Silver
It is super light and comfortable. I wish it was a fold or two bigger, but it works at the size it is. The strap works well so far too. I plan to buy another one for my GF (seemed to work well for her too)

Useful (but expensive) little camping aid
Color: Limon / Silver
For those familiar with Thermarest’s larger sleeping pads or Nemo’s Switchback series of long and short sleeping pads — this product is exactly that - just smaller. A LOT smaller. The accordion and bumps are exactly the same. The durability of this pad is commensurate to its larger aforementioned counterparts. This is small and light enough to not offend ultralight backpackers and easy enough to attach to the outside of a pack or fit inside. Works well in a hammock, as a seat around camp, and a “clean space” when needed along the trail for quick tasks from cooking to changing clothes. This product is vastly superior to Nemo’s competitor product made from “recycled rubber”. That’s code for hard, uncomfortable, sharp, and not durable. This product is the opposite. This product also has a built in cord to hold it closed when not being used. A very nice and not “over-engineered” feature. The only drawback to this product is the price. By square footage compared to a full size Thermarest sleeping pad, this should be much less expensive.

This pad is legit. It’s still hanging tough after years of use. Keeps your rear end from getting wet and it’s great to kneel on getting in and out of the tent.

Light and insulating; kept my behind warm while watching a geyser at Yellowstone in January
Color: Limon / Silver
These are great! I got these, because I had read that it would be wise to have insulation to sit on if you want to wait to observe geysers in Yellowstone during winter. I ordered 2 (for my husband and self). Function: Wind barrier - They were just barely big enough to provide a barrier between our rears and the very cold slotted seat. Without it we would have been extremely cold with wind coming up through the seat. This provided an air barrier (absolutely no wind). Cushioning - This is small but provided comfort. Without it I know I would feel those slots in the seat (as I have done in summer). I felt no discomfort seating for ~1.5 hours for Grand geyser (it was Grand too). Packability - This is extremely light and does not take up much space in your pack. I carried both of these in addition to many extra layers in my 38 pack with plenty of room to spare. One caution: If you are large (we are ~110lbs & 150lbs respectively), you may wish to order a Thermarest Z cushion sleeping pad and cut it to size for sitting. They have 2 lengths to choose from, so you can order the smaller of the two and cut at least two seats to size based on your needs. https://smile.amazon.com/Therm-Rest-Ultralight-Backpacking-Mattress/dp/B005I6TQV0/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=thermarest%2Bz&qid=1579991550&sr=8-1&th=1 These are going with me next winter!

A multi-tasker for the backpacker
Color: Blue / Silver
This is a multi tasker. I used to to kneel on while I setup camp, go in and out of my tent, and as a cushion for quick stops during our hikes. It was also great to place my dirty boots and keep in the tent during rainy nights.
