I feel the same way! Works great for my feet and calves in the hammock as well!

Put a Nicki miraji photo on the pad.

i was wondering about the thickness issue. But, its cheap enough to replace in a few years if need be

Get a Russian army surplus one - they have a pocket so you can replace the original pad or add to the thickness of the seat with a piece cut from a gym mat. They also have an elasticated belt so you don't leave the mat behind when you stand up. Plus they're about 1/4 of the price!

the new pack doesn't have a back pad??

Matty Outdoors it’s got a 1/4 inch sewn in foam pad. But more padding on the back isn’t ever a bad thing ;) figure if I’m hauling the zseat around I might as well make use of it when moving.

Thats alright then! I know theres some of those ultra UL packs that require you to carry a foam pad for back support

I think that would inevitably invite condensation for someone like myself, using for a sit pad or foot insulation in my hammock. generally, anything reflective doesn't breathe well.

I was using mine this past weekend as well!

Honestly, any cheap foam sit pad will do the trick. Prior to the z seat, I was using a piece of Wanda's sleeping pad I had trimmed off

hey thanks so much for watching!!

thats a bummer!

You get get it from REI

I usually use silver side up, but haven't noticed a difference either way. Its not shiny enough for the silver side to act as a reflector
