Tested on Go Hunt... and its not going to be much of a surprise to the guys on this site which one was the first to fail.

The big Agnes Q core

Watching that makes me think I baby mine.
I still don't plan on using it as a trampoline though.

I'd be happy if mine survived test #2. All more than durable enough, so I don't think this should influence anyone's decision and it should come down to warmth and comfort.

Interesting that they didn't test an Exped considering that I see the UL7 and UL9 recommended on here a lot; not as much as the neoair's, but a lot.

Exped is made from heavier fabric for sure....its not the lightest pad. Summer backpacking, if my pad fails it isn't the end of the world....but during a hunt, I want a bit of durability.

All of the Big Agness stuff I've seen; tents/Bags/ Pads is cheaply made. I made the mistake of buying one of these Qcores and it failed on the first inflate [testing at home] Buyer beware
