Help with gear

Looking for a good self-inflating air pad to go under the sleeping bag in the tent, without breaking the bank. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Sportsman's Guide catalog / website always has several good selections.

If you're looking for self inflating, you get what you pay for. I'd go with a thermarest. It is the best piece of baclpacking gear I own.

Here is one at a decent price...

I know a few serious backpackers,and they say Thermarest,too.

A good night's sleep is a wonderful thing when you're campin' - I'd get the best I could afford,and maybe pinch pennies elsewhere.
