Simple, light, and does it's job. I use it as my only pad on one night trips May thru first half of September. Also during late season I use it under my warmer pad to add R value. Great while glassing or sitting on cold ground. Keeps me dry and prevent heat from leaving the body.

Great sleeping pad for temps that dip down to 30 degrees.

The Nemo Switchback Sleeping Pad is simple, light and reliable. Kept my body comfortably off the ground and dry.

I just used the pad for two nights. It actually retains heat on the upper surface. You can feel the difference. Very comfortable to sleep on and doubles as extra orange on the outside of your pack!

Over the last 4 years of camping and hunting I've been working on the perfect combo for sleeping as comfortably as possible. This little pad here sealed the deal. I rock this pad under my klymit V pad and it's a perfect combo. Pretty comfy on its own, and if I were having to throw it on the ground for a backcountry sleeping situation it would do just fine on its own.

Really enjoy using this pad in the backcountry, especially during spring scouting and early season hunts. I like that it can easily be strapped down to the exterior of your pack, which frees up interior room for other essentials. Built from high quality materials and has more durability than standard closed cell-foam pads. Tips: If you're looking for a pad for late fall/early winter (snow on the ground), take a look at the Longbow Alpine. The Switchback starts to lose its ability to insulate once the ground temp approaches freezing. Also, don't use it as a glassing pad on abrassive rocks, it'll eventually get chewed it up.
