get the thinnest foamie you can find...think MEC do one called the bivy mat? and use that as your pack 'frame'- cheap and lighter. the neo air's and any SIM are way expensive.

175g
0.5cm
Fold it in half and sleep, or cut the leg part off and go lighter. Your rope and pack also work as the mat, esp if it's warm.

or if you must take a SIM, get a kid's one on sale! works great and you won't bother when it gets punctured!

Here is another person's perspective on foamies v SIMs
