The country, I wasn't aware there was a city. HAH.

Thanks all for the thoughts, I'm still no closer to coming to a consensus though...

I've used both an old thermarest foam style pad that I gave away a few years ago and a solid yellow foam pad that I'm using now. I like the ease of use, but am looking for a little more comfort, especially on non pristine camp spots, and maybe a bit better packability...

I'd like to probably buy at MEC though because of the guarantee that if I'm not satisfied I can return to try something else. I think I'll have to just go to MEC someday and pick something out. I like the idea of packing small though, would leave room on the rear top rack for something else...
