hi group,
I’ve searched the archives on this topic and not really found an answer. I have an old, full-length Z-rest, which serves me very well as I’m 120 lbs and so don’t compress the egg crating too much. I’m looking to shorten it for weight saving purposes, however, I’m having a hard time conceiving of how to use it with my GoLite Gust pack. I’ve used the Gust loaded with an inflatable 3/4 length pad, which was serviceable but the inflatable pad wasn’t stiff enough and felt like it would collapse under additional weight–also, I like my Z-rest better. I don’t want to go out and spend the money on a ridgerest or other easier-to-roll frame, so I’m looking for advice and suggestions on how to get my Z-rest to serve as a virtual frame for my Gust. It doesn’t wrap around into a neat cylindrical shape, and due to the contoured shape of the Gust’s foam back pad pocket it doesn’t fit well within that pocket in folded-up form.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
