One thing to consider is which test standard manufacturers use to determine R value or do they just pull that info from their butt, like the last pad I owned(BA). Pad was rated 15-30 degrees but felt cold in temp barely over freezing and I slept in a 15 degree down bag. It looks like Sea To Summit uses ASTM standard. Anyhow, Enwild has Regular Xtherm Max on sale for $163 and right at 17 ozs. Buy this one and you”ll never sleep cold again. https://www.enwild.com/therm-a-rest-neoair-xtherm-max.html

II have a 20 oz mummy Xtherm LW (6.9 R with a new ASTM rating) which is rather toasty but I am on the hunt for a 16 oz Xlite LW (4.2R). You can also get a woman’s 12 oz Xlite 66”x20”(5.2R) if you are not tall. Xlite has been a go to pad for long distance hikers for many years. As far as price goes, many outdoor gear online retailers run 20% off sales often and occasional 25-30%.Combine it with Rakuten or Active Junky rebate and you’ll get it well below MSRP.

I’ll buy a new truck if I can’t find a reasonably priced used one.
