The best of most worlds
The Prolite is almost exactly what every other mattress tries to be. The neoair revolution (also inflatables from Big agnes, Exped, Nemo, Etc) has given us a bunch of mattresses that are less durable, more annoying to inflate, MARGINALLY lighter, and not necessarily warmer than this pad. I've used it by itself in March just off of Mt. Washington, NH, and it was fine, despite having an r-value of 2. If it's cold, pair it with a short z-lite, and you're golden. It weights little more than the really expensive, fragile inflatables, too.Also: tough as nails.

Great Supplemental pad
Bought this and quickly found It was not enough on it's own. Now I use it in my sleeping bag when sleeping in my hammock or on my Z rest pad in a tent. I really think it on the Z rest is a great combination and if it ever goes flat I will still have something there. I find it still has not leaked after 5 years of use as a Boy Scout leader.
