@EverythingIsPhotogeniclast year Its important to note that 4-5 decibels is actually substantially quieter as with every 10 decibels comes a perceived doubling of loudness. The logarithmic nature of decibel measurement can be tricky. Also, the frequency/type of sound is something to consider. The sound of wind could be the same volume as crinkling a bag of potato chips, however the sound itself is less bothersome to most. ... 91
@

@tylerreeves8026last year Side note about thermal camera test... cool idea but definitely not accurate. heck it tells you next to nothing. BUT there is a simple fix you can do for the next video to make it really useful!
Therma camera don't really measure temperature, they measure IR output, which is dependent on a materials emissivity (or that's how I understand it, someone please chime in and correct me if i'm wrong). For future videos, to ensure your comparing apples to apples, put some electrical tape on both the pads in the areas you are interested in. This will keep the emissivity values between both pads the same (in the areas with tape) so you can actually make a real comparison that is representative of the thermal bridging between the top of the pad and the floor.
It's not a perfect setup, but way more insightful then just pointing the camera at two different pads with potential different material/surface finish properties spoofs the thermal camera into reading different temperature values. ... 32

@sterlingsanders3868last year Something about this guys energy just makes stuff enjoyable to watch. He could teach a math class and i would absolutely love it! 5
@

@Kata-jb3iulast year I started watching your channel when you did the Nikwax review because I use the product, but not at a "dunk a jacket treated with Nikwax into a freezing cold stream" level - so I was curious and then I was hooked! I'm not a super active hiker or camper, but I love outdoor activities and I love that you share gear I'd never have known about or thought to look for that makes adventures easier. Even if your video is about something I'm not likely to need to know about with my current activities, I enjoy watching and listening anyway just because it's so soothing to listen to you! ... 7
@

@29028ftlast year i have the old nu25, bought the new nu25 entirely for the usb-c port. SO worth it. it was the only piece of tech i was carrying that still used a micro usb, so it meant i could ditch that cord entirely and simplify my charging situation. ... 30
@

@jonbassett8023last year Your reviews & info are superior! Thank you for your efforts!!! 1
@

@brianengstrom4530last year Just as a note from my experience XLite pads get quieter over time. If the non nxt version was well used this could also impact the test. 16
@

@shangobango77last year After using the NXT a few times the NXT is definitely much quieter and more comfortable than the old Xlite to me. The noise difference is very evident. 14
@

@christiano.1245last year I came across your video the other day, and I appreciate what you make! You use a lot of lent principles which is awesome. Keep up the great work
@

@marijeweteringslast year Can't wait to see the extended review on the Zoom UL.... 4
@

@trevorhill157711 months ago Mats with transverse tubing will tend to convect away more heat than longitudinal tubing. This doesn't show up in the testing methods. Convective heat transfer occurs in the opposite direction to gravity, and definitely not from cold ground up to the warm sleeper. However, when lying on and compressing a sleeping mat, the base of the warm sleeper is lower than the edge of the mat, and for mats with transverse tubing, convective heat loss is significant due to the short distances involved. This is much less of a problem in mats with longitudinal tubing, the distances involved being much greater. Neither Exped or Thermarest have picked up on this. ... 1
@

@aclay3720last year the past tents joke is one of my favorite go to jokes! thats so funny 1
@

@izgoesoutdoors2426last year So cool they you did your own volume tests 1
@

@AdmiralTymothysLootChestlast year Decibels are on a logarithmic scale, so they work like this: a 3 decibel increase is a doubling in volume, and a 3 decibel decrease is a halving in volume. So 4-5 decibel decrease is actually a hell of a drop in volume. 1
@

@dustinnagy6011last year The only add I haven’t skipped in years. Great job!
@

@iloveyouhamburgerslast year You know the decibel scale is a logarithmic scale right? A 3 decibel decrease means halving the energy levels of the sound. Therefore a reduction of 4 to 5 decibels is still quite substantial. 52
@

@elr05last year Great video! I’m curious that you said Dan Durston only sells four tents. There are six tents: the regular X-Mids, the X-Mid Pros, and the X-Mid Solids, all in 1P and 2P. The solid is meant for colder weather because a large amount of the inner mesh tent is replaced by fabric. Peace! ... 2
@

@jefftickleschitz1265last year I have several thermarest bags and quilts, and I love them. I have 1 thermarest pad, and I have not spent one night on it. As soon as I took it out of the stuff sac, I put it back in and got a MEC vectair. Best mat yet.
@

@lilianm7151last year I am really looking forward to your Exos Pro review.
@

@jeffreycarman21859 months ago I had a Thermarest Neoair and it was a bit noisy, but it didn’t bother me. For snow adventures I just added a z-lite pad under it and it was warm enough for me.
@

@DebbieWolfeMusiclast year Those dad jokes 😂 I was watching this with my girls (age 9, 7 & 7) and they were cracking up! 2
@

@photog1529last year Hmmm...got me thinking about the Durston tent. I've been using a Zpack Duplex (love it) but the Durston looks interesting, especially considering the pole is offset away from the entrance. 3
@

@scottenfreudelast year A man goes to his psychiatrist and says “I'm going crazy, doc. Sometimes I think I’m a yurt and sometimes I'm convinced I'm a tipi”. The doctor says “Relax, you’re two tents”. 2
@

@tomnoyb8301last year 83% reduction is equal to 7.7dB reduction. An easy way to remember the conversion is that every 3dB is a factor of two and every 10dB is a factor of ten. dB's may seem confusing, but are a simple way to work with large numbers. Earthquakes are likewise in dB's (dB/10 to be precise). An 8.0 earthquake is a hundred-times as powerful as a 6.0. A quiet room might be 20dBA, while an Xlite might be 70dBA - 100,000-times more noisy? Thus, big numbers lose meaning, and dB's start to make sense. ... 1
@

@AdventuresofGraywolflast year Sound is on a dB scale, which is logarithmic. 2dB is about 63% quieter, so probably within the margin of error considering the differences in measurement. For reference, 3dB is twice a reference volume and -3dB is half. That being said, I would have rather seen them measure inside a tent to see what sounds reflect more back to the mic that resonate with that system. ... 1
@

@TaylorPassofarolast year Theory about the Big Agnes Zoom Pad. The ASTM test measures R value between two static surfaces, but in reality, people roll about at night. It might be that less internal baffling in the Zoom beans that air shifts easier about causing convection cooling that robs you of heat. ... 1
@

@ihatevottlast year Really enjoyed the dad jokes on your moose jaw promo today XD
@

@jedidiahbennett758last year Would love to see your continued testing of the zoom UL. I am looking at the rapide SL for its comfort and R-Value. If the zoom is good to go I’d rather get that and shed a few OZ! 5
@

@simonfarrell6841last year Fyi, to reduce something by 80% (down to .2 of what it was) is a reduction of 6.9dB 2
@

@jesse-in-a-cubelast year You get a like! That was funny! (love your content)
@

@cassgil8448last year Hey there, Just found your channel and have enjoyed your videos. Do you have a video with inexpensive gear for us once a year group campers? Would love any recommendations to improve or replace my camping set up. Thank you
@

@at19pct21last year The Durston XMid Pro 1P tent is DCF canopy and 15D silnylon floor. The full setup weight is 19.2oz (tent+stakes+bags), according to the specs on his website. The groundsheet is another 3.8oz, for a total of 23oz. 2
@

@outdooraflast year I hate it when I get psyched up about a product, then I find out what the price is 3
@

@edolson418611 months ago I love my Ospey Exos Pro 55. Please compare to Gregory Focus with its superior compression strap system. I performed some permanent mods to my Exos Pro decoupling the compression straps from the hip belt and permanently routing under/inside stretchy side pockets...compression still functional but now I have full access and full expansion of side pockets even when cinching down the bottom compression straps. I can still put long items compressed in side pockets if I choose now all functioning equally well as Gregory Focal. Leaving compression straps attached to hipbelt is problematic and unnecessary. Load transfer works equally well without this attachment. I also detached upper compression straps from upper corners of the large stretchy front pocket moving over to a side loop so compression is still functional but now allowing full access to large front pocket even when under maximum compression. A few other mods were done with optional removable sleeping pad straps to bottom and top of the pack improving the overall design and making this pack perfect. The permanent mods actually reduced pack weight a few grams by use of slightly shorter compression strap lengths. ...
@

@rodrev_hiking6757last year Im thinking about getting the Zoom or the Rapide . I think I go for Rapide . It’s heavier but seems to sleep warmer and is more durable . Currently using sea to summit etherlight xt regular wide but need a Pad for my GF and her Western Mountaineering Alpinlite . Since I had bad experience with UL pads like the Uberlite from thermarest i really want something durable ...
@

@sharingmatterslast year This is the most creative ad of a video sponsor 😂
@

@TheJoshuabordenlast year I’ve given up on the larger pack companies all together. The only brand that I use now are Hill People Gear. Their packs are inovative. Bullet proof and some of the most comfortable packs I’ve ever owned. Family made in the USA. ...
@

@sonorangaming4450last year I do like Moosejaw. They are always fun
@

@billb5732last year Decibels are a logarithmic scale.
-3db is half power, or 50%
So your measurements show much MORE than 83% quieter. 1
@

@larsbijl3300last year For the Zoom, it's probably the same problem the etherlight has, The air inside the pad is allowed to move, from bottom to top. That means that the cooler air at the bottom will mix with the warmer air at the top, every time you move. That doesn't show up in these kinds of tests, or test environments where the dummy doesn't move, so the Etherlight is also rated way to high. ... 1
@

@lh3540last year that running joke caught me off guard. i always try to 'ran' through the campgrounds. lol.
@

@PMarsh14last year The thermarest pad is sooo much better now. Had both and the difference is incredible. I'm not sure what you're trying to say here? 2
@

@J_Woods_last year Will you be making more videos on the tarptent dipole 2?
@

@RayHikeslast year The new NU25 supposedly has a slightly bigger battery, that’s where the increase in weight comes from 2
@

@44zeliowlast year Was the sound measurement decibells a power ratio or amplitude ratio measurement. They claim 6x less noisy, that translates to a 7,78 dB difference in power ratio, but 15,56 dB in amplitude ratio. 1
@

@six3rlast year What is the black hoody being worn in this video? That thing looks pretty sweet. 1
@

@a.w.thompson4001last year Re. noise, how well used is the old Therm-a-Rest pad? They do get quieter with use... if the new pad is not as well used, the noise difference would be reduced.
@

@vz3_last year What’s the hoodie and how do you like it? Looks like a Farpointe but wanted to double check. Prepping for some hikes this spring
@

@alexwbanks70last year NU25... I think the important upgrade is the USB-C port not the strap. I don't use those regular straps anyway and replace them with the shock cord. I even went back to the original strap once to see and I could not stand it. Its so odd I was thinking about getting the new NU25 and decided against it because I liked my original one so much. Then I misplaced or lost it so I had to get a new one anyway. If the original version had a USB-C port I would have went with that. ...
@

@jadenmlast year I recently bought a hyperlight southwest 3400 and the osprey exos 55 pro. Im having a hard time settling on either one.
@

@daxtonsgarage6810last year Lightweight gears, cool and all. But I like my vintage gear exterior metal frame backpack no down bag and a heavy metal Coleman lantern. Also, good video
@

@logictd567last year I just got the big Agnes insulated Qcore with R 4.3 and still felt cold from underneath
@

@commentsonthetube14last year Try the Nitecore NU33. It's heavier but it is excellent. I was also disappointed with the new NU25. The floodlight and mixed modes are really annoying. The NU33 does everything right that the 25 did wrong. And also has everything it got right. ...
@

@dewdrop6400last year But will the inner of the Nemo Hornet Osmo wet out like the previous model?
@

@hoh4368last year My elbow popped a new NXT the first time I set it up. Shouldve watched this first. Swapped for an alpine tensor.
@

@1990SammieJ10 months ago The matt looks really good, shame about the price tag though 😢
@

@el3ctroslast year I just got the exos pro 55 also, I like it a lot but it isn't perfect. Some gripes.
The water bottle pockets are pretty useless, basically need to add a shoulder strap water bottle holder or use a bladder. it seems designed for bladder use.
The plastic adjustment rails on the frame can dig in to my shoulder blades if I am only wearing a T shirt.
The compression system is poorly done still, covers the side mesh pockets. now it's removable. ...
@

@krkhanslast year Grabbed the Exos Pro 55 but worried it's a bit too light for my taste. Mostly worried the hipbelt/padding will become an issue midtrip. TBF this is compared to my current AG 65 so totally justifiable considering the weight savings but the 30lb comfort rating is also a concern as I would need to really optimize my load to hit that mark. Been looking at the new Atmos LT 65 as an at least lighter weight option. Sturdier materials for seemingly better pack longevity and cuts all the frills I don't use on my AG 65 anyway. Seems the LT 65 isn't getting much attention yet though, hard to find anything beyond Osprey's own videos and the section hiker review. ... 1
@

@generallostlast year Any know of any reviews for MSR elixir 2P
@

@travelvideoslast year Now one can have those inflatable tents without metallic poles. I wonder if anyone own such tent. 1
@

@gearhead-do1xhlast year I thought the xlite gets quiter over time so to congrats old to new, makes sense to compare old to new with only brand new versions of each 🚨
@

@shawnr6117last year The Dad jokes are strong with this one 1
@

@jimclean2last year Did we forget that Skurka developed a tent that basically is the Durston tent, and that Durston works with Skurka. Also didn’t Yama Mountain Gear develop a tent that is the same at the Durston tent?
@

@KarinaLavushkinalast year Just noticed that you look sharper in 60 fps :D
@

@JohnthePondlast year Which is the best quilt on a tight budget ?
@

@BackcountryPilgrimlast year I wonder is the new Exos is why the Levity/Lumina is OOP?
@

@ChrisHufnagel_Polymathlast year Hah, just picked up a xlite nxt 3 days ago (rei 20%).
It seems quieter to me out of the box. The s2s pad I had previously was very crinkly.
@

@Chris66ablelast year Seen too many videos of Durston tents, and Dynema tents not coping at all in high winds.
@

@ShiniGuraiJokerlast year I understand some would have trouble with the crinkle. But I have slept by a fighter jet burnout test sight (unsure of appropriate term) in Afghanistan for 8 months and slept through a few CRAM's going off in Iraq. I can sleep through anything now. Lol ...

@greg214111 months ago The 2p hubba is 50” wide this Nemo“3p” tent is 60” wow
@

@havenisse2009last year You need to update your catalogue of dad jokes.
@

@mikaelwendellast year Every “backpacking gear YouTuber” seems to have forgotten or missed Tarptent StratoSpire…. Everybody talks about the X-mid. 2
@

@garethblake7374last year 5db quieter would be about 80% less. Doesn't necessarily mean the noise isn't still irritating. Never worried me though.
@

@AdamxSoldolast year I wish dyneema wasn’t as delicate as it is. I feel like for what you pay for it should be more robust
@

@theshuzlast year The decibel scale is not linear... 3db difference is TWICE as loud. That's a HUGE difference!! +2db still like 50% more 1
@

@EricLSlast year For all the people posting about decibels and such, you’re not wrong per se, but you might want to read this:
“Perception
Sound studies tell us time and again that a 3dBA increase in sound level is barely noticeable to the human ear. In fact, you have to raise a sound level by 5dBA before most listeners report a noticeable or significant change. Further, it takes a 10dBA increase before the average listener hears “double the sound.” That’s a far cry from 3dB.”
(3dB is a literal doubling of sound energy)
Yeah, so thermarest pulled the ol’ “blinded by science” trick. Even if he measures 5dBA decrease, (the 83% ish they claim) it will only be perceived as a bit quieter. Keep in mind the human ear has a dynamic range of about one TRILLION to one, so any sound at all will be registered just fine. It would have to be hugely quieter to really FEEL quieter. ...
@

@TheAdventuresofElilast year Those dad jokes lol that was the worst of this video 😂
@

@fredwells7403last year A 1dB change equates to a 26% difference.
@

@TheJoshuabordenlast year The diehard ultralight movement is ridiculous.
@

@JCrozier1last year I bought the headlamp with the cord due to one of your previous videos. It's really nice and considerably lighter than my one that takes AAA batteries. 1
@

@bryangeoffrionlast year The Durston tent is a near-exact copy of the Tarptent Stratospire Li, which they've been making for years. They are not really doing anything original. 2
@

@bentaylor45709 months ago By the way, 3db is double due to log scaling of db.
@

@derekhand7904last year So the ASTM testing is a little flawed, it can’t test how long the air in your pad will stay warm for. Nemo and themorest have some type of insulation in there pad that is patented and keeps the air warm longer. That’s why there pads are warmer at the same r-value. ...
@

@Kevinschartlast year I would like an xmid pro 1 sil/poly version please. I don't care for the see through material or the $700 price. 3
@

@logancooper5865last year "Worst gear"
> immediately says the sleeping pad I recently bought
To be fair, I have tested it and I didn't have issues with noise, so... your milage my vary? Level of inflation of the pad might also play a role. ... 1
