Staff Pick: Big Agnes Insulated Q-Core, a Luxurious All-Season Sleeping Pad

If you have ever felt unsatisfied with a sleeping pad, one thing is certain: you've never tried the Big Agnes Insulated Q-Core. The Q-Core uses alternating I-beam technology that has a quilted look and feel (hence the q in Q-Core). With a layer of synthetic insulation underneath the pad's surface, the R-value is bolstered to an estimated 5.0.

Available in four sizes, ranging in weight from 25-36 ounces, the packed size of the Q-Core is comparable to a Nalgene bottle. What separates this Big Agnes sleeping pad from others is the fact that it has an undeniable capability to keep its users warm and the fact that this badboy blows up to 3.5 inches thick! In the lightweight sleeping pad realm that is like a king sized bed! When inflated, simply reach over your shoulder and you can let air out to customize the comfort of you Big Agnes pad.

The Big Agnes Q-Core Insulated inflatable sleeping pad comes with a mesh stuff sack, a repair kit and a guaranteed better night sleep than on your old pad. Come check it out at our Route 2 location in Waterbury or order online anytime at CCOutdoorStore.com.
