Exped Dura
Best rugged insulated sleeping pad for cold weather base camping.

While it carries a bit more bulk than stripped-back alternatives, the trade-off is a remarkably stable, cushioned surface that won't fail you on jagged terrain. It turns backcountry sleeping from a survival necessity into actual rest.
