while this was fairly comfortable, i think it's too heavy to actually hike with, i car camped and this worked fine. i would recomend this for summer or early fall camping only though. i camped in the mountains and this actually made me very cold through my sleeping bag. i had to put a sweater over it to keep the chill from my bones. for a casual camper or someone who doesn't have to hike far to set up camp and who is only camping a few days, this would work, otherwise it's too bulky to take.
