...is really good. I will talk more about this later on. Big Agnes REM Air Core Pad – Regular ≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈ The regular pad is 20" wide x 72" long x 2.5" deep and this is my pad. My partner who is taller than me has the long version which is 20" wide x 78" long x 2.5" deep. Big Agnes also makes a ¾ length pad which is useful for ultra light trekkers. My pad weighs 22 oz (624 g) and my partners pad weighs 25 oz (709g) so as you can see the weight is pretty decent. The upgrade kit does increase this by 10 ounces but the upgrade isn’t always necessary.

Disadvantages: None

...The lengthy advertisements for Torso Track on the TV shop channels would have us believe that this wonder machine is the easy, no-sweat way to get chiselled abs. Not that I watch the TV shopping channels, of course - I’m sure you don’t either - it’s just that I come across them sometimes when flicking through looking for something to watch on the odd occasion when I’m not reading G.K.Chesterton.

I was interested in the ads, though, and not just to feast my eyes on one of the handsome hunks who promote it.
