Have used this for overnight Appalachian trips and just came back from a hiking trip on the John Muir Trail (70 miles in 7 days). So far, I'm very happy with this mat. I ordered and tried (in my house) all of the other latest mats and didn't like them as much. I don't like the materials of the other top mats and don't like sleeping on an air mattress.



True, this is an air mat, but this also has the foam in it which makes a big difference for me. I also like the cover material, can sleep directly on it quilt-style. It doesn't have that plastic feel, more like a cloth feel. Which for me makes a big difference. Just a little heavier than the other models. Haven't had problems with "tumors" yet.



I have a Z-lite but I'm in my 50's and haven't taken it out on the trail for fear of not sleeping well. That would be the ideal solution for hiking, if your body can handle it (less weight, less time deploying and packing up, can pull out for breaks and camp and not worry about punctures. I cut off 4 panels and use it for trail breaks and it's fantastic. In the meantime, I really like the Evolite.



Everyone is different so you have to try a variety of mats.
