If I am going for more light weight and warmth I go with the Inertia X Frame, for more comfort I use the XL, and I almost always have the X-Lite with me especially when I travel as it has provided a much more comfortable surface for long delays or flight cancellations than trying to twist my body around the benches with arm rests.À¹à¸œà¹ˆà¸™à¸£à¸à¸‡à¸™à¸à¸™à¸„วามยาว 107 cm น้ำหนัà¸à¹€à¸šà¸²à¹€à¸žà¸µà¸¢à¸‡ 173 g เมภIt is my favorite, but the pad I take with me all depends on the trip. That is one of the reasons why we created the Inertia XL with a more universal body map design. The Inertia X Frame is our most popular pad, and fits most people, but I am a bit of a mutant I guess as the body mapping fits most people, but not me perfectly. You're right, not everyone fits perfectly on the pad. I know several people have used it with a quilt on the AT with great reviews, but I have not personally tested it that way myself yet. That being said, a quilt on a very cold night would probably not be best by itself with the Inertia X Frame, but the holes provide about a 2.8 R-value by themselves with zero sleeping bag. Here is a short video showing how the Loft Pockets work: I have received a few calls from troops in the Middle East that use our pads from low altitude in Iraq where it is hot talking about how they use just a poncho on top of them at night, and the Loft Pockets create high ventilation points for them to stay cool off the hot desert ground, but when they go in to high altitude in Afghanistan the pad keeps them very warm when used with a sleeping bag. That’s what makes it so thermally efficient, it adapts to all kinds of temperature ranges as you bring the right sleeping bag for your trip. Thus, the insulating value of the Inertia X Frame is totally concurrent with the thermal rating of the sleeping bag you use with it. The Loft pockets simple allow your sleeping bag insulation to maintain its Clo value (insulation value) by not compressing the insulation. Hard to believe at first until you test it out for yourself, but we have personally tested it to minus -15 degrees F last winter, and a couple Special Ops teams we work with have tested it to minus -60 F.
The Loft Pockets actually are the warmest part of the pad. Surprisingly, the Loft Pockets in our pads do exactly what they say, they create pockets of loft. I came across the thread here and thought I might try to share some insight behind this.
