TREKOLOGY UL80 Ultralight Inflatable Backpacking Sleeping Pad for Camping

I am very impressed by the quality and comfort of this sleeping pad. It inflates with about a minute or so of blowing and deflates quickly when the valve is released. It is also easy to remove and replace in the included stuff sack. I have used it twice and had decently comfortable sleep both times - I roll a lot and side-sleep, and my hips and shoulders never touch the ground. Please note that this is an inch or two wider than some competing brands, so if you use a sleeping bag that straps on to your pad, be sure to measure so it will fit.

This is an initial quality evaluation. I laid on the pad for about 15 - 20 minutes.1. 17 breaths from a big man to inflate. I recommend getting a bag inflator. My Trekology 10L Pump Sack (available on Amazon) delivers in 2 days. Hoping to use as a bag, pillow, and inflator. We'll see how it goes.2. I'm 6'1" 235lbs. My hips and shoulders are 1.5" to 2" off the ground when I lay on my side. Nice job Trekology.3. Length: The ends on either side protrude more than the middle to about 75" in length (the Amazon product description's length) but I'd say 74" is more fair as actual surface my body would be on. My feet did not hang off.4. Width: 24.4" is a fair number. I won't argue it. I will say, when laying on my back, my arms completely hang off the edge. It may not be as noticeable in a sleeping bag. I'm good with it. As a side sleeper, it's not a problem and it helps to keep the weight of the pad down. If you are a back sleeper or belly sleeper, you may not like it.5. Height: The outside edges are taller to help you stay centered on the pad and they are a legitimate 4". The center is closer to 3.5". I don't care, my hips and shoulders are off the ground. It's all good.4. Weight was also very close: Mine 19.6 oz. Theirs 19.8 oz. Less than a pound and a quarter is good given the height of the pad and that the material feels durable and dense.5. The carrying sack is loose. So if you roll the pad up tight like me, you can drop it in. If you roll it up sloppy, you have extra girth and height to fit it in. I like this. Most product have to get rolled up factory tight. Make sure you roll it bottom to top (valve end), to roll out the air.6. Pack size: Theirs: 7.3" (long) X 4.7" (diameter). Mine: 8" X 4.5". The 8" is probably a bit long due to the looseness of the carrying sack.7. Trekology calls it a 3 season pad and estimates an R value of 2 - 2.5 which is about equal to 35.6 F. I'm not backpacking in the snow. I also have a closed cell pad that will go under it to protect from sticks, rocks, etc. and it will add another R value of 1 or so. If you are winter camping. This is not for you.8. Valve: The one way valve worked perfectly for inflating. Deflation valve also worked perfectly and fast.9. Noise: I rolled and flopped around on this thing. The noise was negligible; a slight brushing sound you would expect from your clothes rubbing against a plastic surface. Not loud at all. I snore waaaay louder than that. It does not have the crinkle sound like a space blanket nor the two balloons rubbing together sound like other pads I've had to listen to in the dead of the night.Summary: Initial quality is excellent. I hope it holds up on the trail. The real test is how well the seals and valve hold air overnight. I included some pics. The orange pad in one of the pics is my accordion style, $20, Chinese, wait month for delivery, Thermarest knock-off. It's 22.5" by 74", thickness is .75" peak to peak - best case. It's less than a pound, can serve as a seat, can fold in half or 1/3, and is an additional moisture and cold barrier. I highly recommend getting one to go with any inflatable pad and to use as a clean, dry, place to sit or set your pack.

Very comfortable and lightweight, I hope it stands up to use.

Was perfect for Coachella. I’ve slept on many sleeping pads, this once might have been the most comfortable. I’m a side sleeper and my hip never hit the ground. It’s also compact and light. Not ultra light but surprisingly light and compact for the price.

For the price, you can't beat it. I have a big agnus and besides the insulation, this one is just as good. It's very thick too, which is why I think it's so comfortable.

Honestly, this is a much better sleeping pad than I anticipated. Small, lightweight, durable a very comfortable. This is probably the most comfortable inflatable sleeping pad I’ve used, and I’ve had a couple Big Agnes pads. This thing really punches above its class relative to price.Bought one for the wife and myself. As soon as I received them, I filled them up to full capacity and let them sit for 3 days just to test how well they held up. No issues at all.Then I took them on a week long camping trip in Montana. They were inflated once and maintained air the whole time without needing a refill. Plus, I slept better than I ever have on an inflatable pad. They seem quite durable as well — only time will tell. We were not kind or easy on them at all. They got a lot of thrashing around, knees, elbows, rocks, etc and held up great.I read some reviews complaining about them being loud/noisy. I consider myself a bit of a snowflake when it comes to annoying sounds and I wasn’t at all bothered by these.Cheap, comfortable, small, lightweight and durable. Given the price, I’d be perfectly happy to buy them again after only a week’s worth of use. I mean, sleeping comfortably for a week is totally worth $45 imho.Save yourself the decision fatigue and just buy.

Next to go pad for warm weather trips.Not the lightest option but worth the extra weight if you value your sleep when backpacking.At 40$ this is very good option either for car campers or backpackers not minding a little extra weight- Pad is incredibly comfortable, so far the best I used, even better than my Big Agnes comparable pad sizes. Good option for side sleepers- Scale weight including stuff sack and rubber band is 670g, which is way less than 750g advertised- Temperature rating: I am warm sleeper and used it in mid-upper 50F in wet conditions on last trip and did not feel cold. Perform well for both condition. I don't think I would take it below the 50F, but that's exactly what it is designed for, warmer temperatures- Durability: Don't have enough data to say much about durability although it looks way more resistant than Big Agnes AXL Air- Ease of inflation: What you can expect from a thick pad, it takes some effort. I guess the inflation bag can help- Deflation is quick given the valve design. Storage size is not the smallest but not bad at all. I like the fact it comes with a rubber band, so you can save weight by not using storage bag- Color is a bit boring, I prefer bright color pads
