Big Agnes is known for tinkering with - and usually succeeding at - creative new tech to help you save wait and enhance comfort. The TwisterCane™ BioFoam Sleeping Pad certainly follows in this ongoing tradition.

This sleeping pad is engineered for ultralight backcountry summer trips to high alpine winter conditions. The closed-cell foam technology provides a firm, cushioned barrier between you and the ground; smooth on one side with a tire tread pattern on the other. Use alone or layer it with an air pad for added insulation. Made from sugarcane biomass in a process that removes carbon from the atmosphere and sourced using Proforest standards.

This pad is so cool it would be a great addition to your climbing rig, as a seat when putting on shoes and area to dump your gear. It's really, really cool.
