sulak46.com no longer carries assorted sizes of the "padded ground sheet."
My 1/4"x24"x72" pad from sulak46 only weighs 3.8 oz and works well for me, but is wearing out. I think it was made of "Plastazote" but I'm not sure. (That's what the remaining framesheet at sulak46 is made of.)
Can anyone suggest an alternative source of such a product?
MLD has the "Good Night EVA UL Foam Pad" but it's only 1/8" thick.
The Gossamer Gear "Thinlight" pads are a lot heavier.thanks.

Jun 15, 2012 at 7:18 am #1887180I have some pads similar but of higher density in 3/16" (29D) 1/2" (24D).

-under a superlight inflateable (such as klymit)
-as a framesheet in your pack
-as a sitpad (you can double it up, triple it up for more comfort)

I have used this, it is very tough, but now I tend to use laminate floor underlay, which is much lighter and wears out quick, but is v cheap, so it doesn't really matter. I have a big roll I bought from our local DIY shop and when I need some more, I just cut off a length and trim it to the width I want.
