I own a lafuma x-650 pro, and it is also a great, light, 35/40 degree bag. Looks a lot similar to this dream lite

By the time everything downloads, I've done a few other things around the house and forgotten what it was that I was doing on your site.

So where's the info about the Exped SIM Lite 2.5 short sleeping pad? Every time I click on the link, it takes me elsewhere.
