[at-l] big agnes insulated air core pads

[Mara Factor]

Hi Amy,

I have one of these pads.  I had the uninsulated one but when a
manufacturing defect leak developed that couldn't be patched, they replaced
it with the insulated one.  It packs a bit bulkier than the uninsulated one
but is only one ounce heavier so I'm OK with it.

I got the original pad when testing for backpackgeartest.org.  You can read
my original reports at: *http://tinyurl.com/24tspv* or* *

I haven't used the pad much in cold weather so can't really comment on
how much the insulation helps the pad perform in colder weather.  But, other
comments about the comfort and utiility of the pad still hold.

Let me know if you have any additional questions...
