Tried a cheap foam pad vs my old Therm-a-Rest Z Lite for a week in the White Mountains
Honestly, the difference in warmth was huge. The cheap pad from the big box store said it had an R-value of 2, but I was cold every night below 50 degrees. My Z Lite, which is rated at 2.6, actually kept me warm and packed down way smaller. Anyone have a good budget pad that actually works for cooler temps?

Yeah, I learned that lesson the hard way too. Spent a miserable night on a cheap pad that claimed it was warm enough. The real ratings make all the difference.
