Summary:
As Day Hikers and Car camper (base camp as my 65 year old mother refers to it) we have found an excellent value and extreme comfort in the Rogue. Purchased for a WINTER camping trip with temps down to 13 degrees farenheit. With this pad, our 3 season bags and a polar fleece liner we slept more soundly that we have in weather 20-30 degrees warmer! Easy to set up, but noted a slower "fill" time with the extreme temps, most of you won't be out in that weather. Kids slipped around some on these during the evening, but not as bad as our previous pad. Highly recommend for car campers who have space as an issue (these roll up longer, but just as small as our backpacking sleeping bags!) and comfort as a goal. I felt no bumps, rocks or otherwise frozen tundra underneath me and at the rock bottom price offered direct from the company I could not be happier.

Customer Service:
The best yet, beat REI and even Land''s End for personable, quick response. Absolutely made this purchase painless. I wish I had more to buy from them, but I think these will last a lllllooooonnnngg

Summary:
Have to admit that I was skeptical of overall comfort when I ordered these. However, after several nights of sleeping in Shenandoah Nat'l Park, I'm hooked. Very easy to use and EXTREMELY comfortable.

Would agree with other reviewer that permanently attached straps would be more convenient. Other than that, can't think of anything to improve. Would highly recommend for the frequent tent camper.

Summary:
Rogue Self Inflating Sleeping Pad
3" x 29" x 72"

The pad does inflate to a comfortable 3 inches. The quality of workmanship is excellent. Will put to the test this summer in Yosemite, Sequoia and Mt. Pinos. Best price in the market. Great for the car camper, tent camper and backpacker.

Two suggestions: roll up straps should be permanently attached; stock additional colors.

Customer Service:
Customer service was great. Shipment was on time and in good condition.

Good construction. Difficult to find in stores to demo. Could not find 3 inch pad anywhere, online or at store. Very good pricing.
