[QUOTE="WeekendWarrior, post: 2139248, member: 117901"] I have a contrary opinion on this matter, I like to pull the frame out of my back pack and sleep on my pack in combination with a thermarest z-lite. The reason I like the z-lite is because I can't pop it, and its still one of the litest mats I can buy. Its cheap, so I don't feel back beating it up either. I'll wrap it around my rifle as a protective case on the hike in. I am biased though, I used to be a climbing guide when I was in my early 20s, and I would always pop my inflatable mats with ice tools or crampons, or melt a hole in one when a stove tipped over. Too many cold nights after these things deflate. I just buy the foam ones now, and use my pack for some extra padding when needed. They are great, I carry it with me while I hunt and lay/sit on it while glassing. Sometimes the opportunity is such that I can take a prone shot from it. All around very useful tool. Not a lot of cushion though... [/QUOTE]
