From: "al.m" <al.m_at_3web.net> > do you dry-bag a Thermarest pad? I consider the Thermarest a low-priority item when it comes to keeping it absolutely dry, so I use an OR stuff sack. They are more or less waterproof, though not as good as, say, Sealline kayak bags. So it keeps the splashes and rain and stuff off, but it won't stay really, really dry if it gets submerged. Plus, they are available in Camp Rest sizes. > It's > heavy, provides little floatation, and bulky like hell, and becomes even > more bulky in a dry-bag, I wouldn't underestimate the floatation value of a compressed Thermarest.
