A buddy and I used them when we did the entire Atlantic Coast this summer, and they were a true delight. Great for side-sleepers, like me. But also, up off the ground, so who cares how rocky or rooty? And when we got torrents of rain, we were up above it all--because we set them up UNDER the tent, thereby replacing the groundcloth.

I run it with a Big Agnes Fly Creek UL1, so total shelter weight is just under 5lbs. A lot more than a tarp, yeah, but infinitely more comfortable.

That's a sweet looking product. And holds a lot of weight, too. I'd never seen anything like that before. Added to the bookmark list of items for possible purchase at some point...
