Hey,
Are there any 2 person pads out there that would qualify as light? A doublewide neoair? I sometimes use a quilt with a lady and get tired of the cold middlespot when using 2 pads.

I know what you mean. Our winter mats are rectangular, and I made up two loops of (UL) tape which hold the two mats firmly together. This has worked just fine even on snow.
Cheers
oo
Sean, have you tried a pad coupler? Easy to make as Roger mentioned, but if you're not inclined Thermarest makes a universal coupler that I've used successfully. You can get the pads held together tightly enough that there's not a major gap between the pads.
We use velcro to hold our pads close together. Cheap, light and very easy.
Hey Sean,
Have checked out the Montbell pads? The toggle system for connecting them together looks nice. Not sure if that would completely solve the cold spot in the middle.
The Gossamer Gear pad is the only "doublewide" pad I know of. The Montbell pads are not as light as foam pads but pretty close to the weight of the neoair if you add in the weight of the straps to hold two neoairs together. I plan on picking up a couple in the 120 size for my gf and I.
