So Mont-Bell has had their pads on the market for a while now. Who has experience with them and how tough are they with that light fabric. Anyone care to compare them to other pads they've used?

There were some early reports of Montbell pads delaminating. I've been using a Montbell 90 for about a year and a half. So far so good. I should mention that I use mine in combination with a 1/4" evazote pad for greater warmth, cush, and resistance to puncture.

Thanks, I'm considering trying to shrink the volume of my load by eliminating the foam component of my sleeping pad, but I'm not sure which pads will hold up best. Anyone use one of these strait on the ground?

I haven't owned my Montbell pad for long, but compared to my Torsolite it is nowhere near as durable or warm. It just doesn't have much foam in it, and the fabric is a lot more flimsy. I haven't used either straight on the ground.
