for bike helmet liners and "big bang boom" car stereo sound insulation. I
think WalMart blue pads are still made from it.

Evazote is being used now for the lighter pads. I use it, and my Winter,
7/8-length pad is only 10 oz. My Summer, torso-length pad is only 3.5
ounces! It is compressed nitrogen, high memory foam. A lot of the hammock
hangers use thin sheets of it for additional insulation. Good stuff.

Gossamer Gear makes the ones that I use. If you're the type that's
comfortable on a Ridge Rest, you'll probably like this even more.
