Sleeping Pad Advice
I decided to test my gear on a small overnight camping session on a trail I am very familiar with on July 4th (Black Balsam Knob) on the peak. All my gear worked fine with two exceptions.
- Despite the temperature for the area being expected to be roughly 70 degrees at its coldest point in the night, I woke up around 2, absolutely freezing, and found my tent interior was incredibly moist on every surface. I used the rain fly in an attempt to avoid any rain and protect against the large gusts of wind. (L.L. Bean 9778 Miro Light Tent)
- My sleeping pad was nearly useless. I had seen reviews of this sleeping pad in particular; people were discussing how great it was, despite how thin etc. (Thermarest Trail Scout)
Does anyone have suggestions for a "budget" sleeping pad that might actually help me keep warm at night/provide at least 3 inches of cushioning?
