It is 20 x 11 and weighs in at 2 oz. When mine comes in I'll weight also. 1oz just doesn't seem right but who knows. It is very possible for a closed cell foam sit pad to weigh 1oz. I have one that does weigh exactly that but I cut it to 13”x9” so that’s part of the difference. It isn’t too bad but not in the comfort class of the inflatable thermarest. Thickness also makes a difference of course and that might have something to do with comfort. |

Coolkat I could see it weighing 1 oz, but not sturdy enough to hold up for more than one season. Looks like a RidgeRest portion, and those were nearly indestructible.

Yes, I have one of the 1.5 oz pads (or I did... couldn't find it for the latest trip, but I'm sure it's somewhere in all my stuff, unless I loaned it to someone, which is always possible). My take was that it would last a few trips, gradually squish down until it's no pad at all. So on the one hand I liked the $2.50 price tag and the super light weight, on the other it goes against my anti-waste ethic. |

I weighed and measured mine. It is 20 x 11 and weighs in at 2 oz. Well I guess I'll have to complain to the manufacturer as mine weighs 1.2oz and not 1oz like advertised.  However, I forgot to measure it so that will be next. |
