The sleeping pad is not a bad product. But who is much backpacking, to look for another (lighter / smaller) Product prefer. In Detail: (+) Lying comfort (+) Fills up quickly on air (+) More robust valve (-) Too heavy for walking (and carry around) (-) Needs to properly furling strong hands (not for the faint girls with long fingernails) (-) In the "rolled-up state" (in carrying case) is the mat too big (70cm x 25cm) - certainly not a problem for people who are traveling by car.
