Hi guys - a new hanger here. My family got me a Clark NX-150 for Christmas. Set it up a couple times, can't wait to use this spring. I'm still researching pads. I've been considering a CCF or my thermarest. Poking around Wallyworld the other day, saw these yoga mats. 25x68 inches, thinner and a different material that the standard blue CCF pad. Do any of you have experience with these pads?

I have not seen these but they seem a little narrow for my body. I think they could work with a second one taped together to make it wider. The pads tend to roll out from under you during the night.

I have looked at those also. They seem (I have not weighed them) heavier than the old blue ccf pads. They do feel more flexible though.

I have both the WallyWorld yoga mat and the blue CCF mat. Seems to me that the yoga mat is more than 25 inches wide; definitely wider that the blue CCF mat.

I've used the yoga mat with no problems; but the weight and bulk was one reason I switched to down U/Q's.

I see you have a Clark. If your Clark has the under pockets you probably will not need a pad for most summer weather.

I've seen others mention that about stuff in the pockets providing some insulation. I'm a warm sleeper as well. That yoga may might be enough... Thanks

I haven't seen the yoga mats at Wallyworld but my yoga mat is made to be grippier so that my feet don't slip when I am doing yoga poses.

This might be a good thing for hammocking as they might be less apt to slid out from under you while you sleep? They also make thicker yoga pads but I would think they could get bulky.

This is what I use. They are fine if you have a decent sleeping pad. As always have warm socks and warm head wear! You will be fine and.......not so heavy!
