For those who want to feel pampered by their camping gear the redesigned Thermarest BaseCamp Regular sleeping pad is the answer. Two inches (a quarter inch thicker than the previous version) of comfy open cell foam provide insulation and comfortable separation from river rocks cold dirt or a hard floor. The self-inflating Thermarest BaseCamp Regular sleeping pad is five inches shorter and narrower than the BaseCamp Large sleeping pad a good option for smaller framed campers those who rarely toss and turn in their sleep or those who would like to save a few dollars instead of experiencing the expanded size of the large model. Additionally some backpacking enthusiasts choose to carry the Thermarest BaseCamp Regular sleeping pad into the backcountry figuring the extra weight is a worthy trade-off for a good night's sleep.
