This review is from: Wenzel Convoluted Camp Pad (Green) (Sports)
I've been using a friend's old therma-rest inflatable sleeping pad on camping trips for the last two years. I finally decided that I needed my own sleeping pad, instead of borrowing one all the time. My only criteria was that it was relatively affordable.

I found the Wenzel Convoluted Camp Pad randomly on Amazon, and for the money it seemed like a product comparable to a lower end offering you might find at a REI / Blue Ridge Mountain Sports / Dicks, etc. On the same note, I feel like this portion of the camping market (sleeping pads) is saturated with overpriced gimmicks. This product was clearly not one of those.

The pad comes rolled up with two elastic bands on the outer ends. I was overwhelmed with how light it was. It was about as heavy as a small cardboard box. In a stiff wind, it might roll or tumble away! While light, it is a little large, so if you don't have loops big enough on your backpack, I'd just clip some lines around the elastic bands that...

Found this item perfect for backpacking and it being a light as a feather product, I feel this added comfort when sleeping to be well worth my taking it along. It maybe a large piece, but you will not know its on your back. Campers can put it to use for the shear extra feel out in the woods

4.0 out of 5 stars Ok pad for cheap... but not for side sleepers, March 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Wenzel Convoluted Camp Pad (Green) (Sports)
Pros:
It's affordable and lightweight. Not too wide so fits my 75L pack well. Decent R value for the 20+ degree night I used it on.

Cons:
And this is only a con for an older side sleeper like me. If you are a side sleeper, look into a thicker self inflating or air pad. My hip bone was sore for 2 weeks after sleeping only one night on this pad.

Bottom Line:
Took my 9 year old son on his first camping trip and he had no issues with comfort on this pad, so it's a good product for minimal expense if you are a back sleeper. Side sleepers should look elsewhere in my opinion.
