The Big Agnes Q-Core SLX is a new take on the company’s popular former Insulated Q-Core and Q-Core SL models. The SLX is lighter, more packable, and has an updated valve for easier inflation and deflation. Weighing just 16 ounces in the regular length, this pad sheds 4.5 ounces from the past SL model and 9.5 ounces from the Insulated Q-Core. The SLX earned relatively high scores and is an excellent pad for backpackers, climbers, and anyone who wants one pad for pretty much any three season activity.
