Big Agnes Clearview Pad

Does anybody have one of these? Does it provide any insulation worth mentioning?

Just curious...

Add a closed cell foam pad in cold temperatures for extra insulation

Looks to have no added insulation with the pad and so I'd call it a bad choice in less than desert warm to hot.

Try this for a few bucks more. http://www.rei.com/product/775892

I have the air core, which has the same rating (35 degrees) and found that I had to add the Sleeping Giant memory foam to keep from waking up with a chilly backside.
