Does it insulate you from the ground while you're on trail or it's just for the comfort?

Because it is self inflating, it creates about an inch of dead air space between you and whatever you're sitting upon....so yes besides comfort, it keeps your butt dry and warmer than if on bare ground/rock.

It actually does - I originally got this for cross country trips strapped into a regional jet - but I also take it for hiking trips, and when we go to a game - keeps the tail-bone intact and if it is frozen (like it has been this year) the air insulation keeps the cold off of your hind quarters!

Don't know, just use it on the jet when traveling. If I had to guess I would say there would be very little insulation since you don't put much air in it.

No it's nice and I use it for hiking to keep some of the heat in, but know if you hit your head it will feel almost the same

Just air I think. I was using it at the beach the other day and it didn't feel like the air that was blowing was much cooler than what it felt like outside. Although it was not cooler it was like having a breeze, that was still really nice and did keep me cooler.

It is just a pad. You could use it under a sleeping bag for more comfort, but it is heavy and bulky to carry if you are walking to your campsite.

I use mine every night. I sleep with my feet outside the covers...or I don't sleep. So to be honest...I'm not really sure. I find that my back is better when I sleep with it. Once asleep...I don''t notice hot or cold. I wouldn't be without mine.

It is a comfortable pad. You can't tell you are laying on it except for the heat.

Actually hard to answer! I have noticed that on a cool night, it keeps me comfortably warm. Yet on warm nights I don't get overly warm! It acts like it adjusts. I really do like it!

I keep it about two feet in front of me until I get hot. It feels just like sitting in front of a fire.

It doesn't feel like a regular fan; it's not oscillating and blowing on top of you. It goes under your top sheet, so most of the breeze hits your feet and legs, and that cools you more than you think it would. On the lowest settings, I can't feel the breeze at all.

It's very thin (like a parachute), but it is very effective in keeping out moisture and sand. So, using it over grass or sand is fine and comfortable enough.

I use it for off-road mudding purposes bc of the dust n mud but by the feel of it idk how much it can protect you from air soft I've never been hit by them

I own both...wish I hadn't bought the insulated one just because its not necessary unless maybe for winter camping. I'm a three season camper for the most part. Depends on how you're using it I guess.

I live in Canada, Northern Ontario. A ground pad in your environment is more for comfort than climate. But don't rule it out. Keeps the moisture off your back.

The ground can easily leech warmth from you if there is nothing between you and bare ground. It's a good idea to use a ground pad with it. If nothing else it will offer some padding between you and the ground allowing you to wake us without being as stiff in the morning.

It is warm, but in between cotton and down. It breathes quite well, which is why it regulates temperature so well. They are thin, but heavy in weight. I like something a little heavier laying on me, so I know it's there, but I also don't like to be hot. I've had three of these over the last 20 years - they are great.

I just have it on while playing golf however, I could imagine that wearing it while sleeping would be comfortable. I don't think it would be hot or sweaty at all while sleeping.

It is a fuzzy like lining that I cannot contribute to any jacket type interior. It is comfortable but you still feel like you have control of the vehicle. Awesome for the money.
