    Ultralight padding/insulation options for 3/4 length UQs ?

    So I used to use a GG Sitlight pad:

    But I'm now using a Zpacks Arc Blast for my pack and further, I think this pad is NOT ideal insulation for me:

    1. would be nice it it was wider.
    2. would be nice if it was a bit more flexible.
    3. better insulation would be nice.

    So.... something with a high R-value to weight index would be nice.

    Does anyone have any recommendations?

    A cheap (around $6) simple car window sun shield from WW might be worth a look. Works great in the summer especially.

    I use a GG 1/8" thinlight pad, works great. Wide, layers can be doubled/tripled if you don't cut it, potential go-to-ground option, etc. Also have a Lawson 1/8" pad which is a little wider/longer, could use for the same purpose.
    Potential is nothing without hard work.
