Can anyone chime in on the quality of these pads compared to each other or the general preference? I am shopping for the silverback size  and of course I really like the boat valve over the small tube for inflating. Any feedback or thoughts?http://www.sotar.com/boat-specifications/sleeping-pads.html - Sotar - Cloud 9 Sleeping pad http://www.maravia.com/index.php/main/product_detail/182/5#3 - Maravia http://www.maravia.com/index.php/main/product_detail/182/5#3 - - Silverback http://www.jpwinc.com/index.php?page=products&item_no=4260 - Jacks Plastic (Original Paco Pad) |

James - I have had a paco pad for a couple years now and I can't recommend it enough. I don't typically sleep in a tent so I can just throw it anywhere. It probably fills slower than the other two but it seems fast enough for me. I haven't had any durability problems so far.

I logged close to 90 days on my paco-pad this year and loved it. Go paco big guy!
My old man has one made by one of the raft manufacturers and I don't think it's as comfortable. ------------- If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. Daniel Patrinellis 360.434.4616 |
