Thin CCF Pads

I use a GG 1/8" Thinpad combined with a GG Torso Pad. As I am a quilt user and often sleep in a lightweight bivy sack, I like having a full length pad length to absorb body sweat rather then the bivy. It also does provide some warmth for the lower body in colder weather (I'm fine down in the high teens) as I don't like using my backpack under my feet (I sleep on my side and usually leave the rest of my gear in the pack so I don't loose it when packing up in the predawn mornings). The GG Torso pad provides most of the insulation and comfort padding where you really need it (between shoulders and hips). I like the comfort of the torso pad and also use it to provide support for my ULA CDT backpack. I have been using this pad combo since 2008 which includes a PCT thru-hike and am about to use it on a AT sobo hike. The combined weight of the 2 pads is 5.1oz on my scale.

I've got the 3/16" Thinlight pad right now and it's pretty great. I've taken it down below freezing in a bivy with a good bag and been pretty warm as far as I can remember. Rolled up right it makes a pretty good frame for a frameless pack too. The only thing is that it's not as durable as some other pads if you keep it on the outside of your pack. Thorns and the like can tear it up.
