While the Gossamer Gear
Air Beam Sleeper is not insulated, it works just fine for 2-3 season use
as-is, or a simple foam pad can be added for increased warmth.

Gossamer Gear includes a patch kit and extra valve with purchase.

One thing I really like about the Gossamer Gear Air Beam Sleeper is that it has tabs on the side for quilt users to be able to secure their quilt to the pad – a great feature for those of us in the lightweight backpacking community.

I like the Gossamer Gear
Air Beam Sleeper quite a bit, but there are some drawbacks.  First, I’m not aware of a creative solution
to blow it up without using my mouth which means it gains condensation fairly
quickly.  Second, while it is refreshing
that different sizes are offered, I’d like to see one that was considerably
wider.  At 6’5” and 280 pounds, I wear a
54 wide jacket which means I’m very broad shouldered.  I figured the 28” wide XLARGE would suit me
just fine, but it isn’t quite big enough as the pad loses measurable width when
inflated.

Regardless, Gossamer Gear has introduced another great product and I
truly hope it evolves into a padded and wider product that will stay on the
market.
