Well that inflatable pad failed me on day 2 of the Lost Coast Trail last month

I've always been a fan of those ultralight inflatable pads... they pack so small you know? But on the second night out near Shelter Cove the seam split right open and I was basically sleeping on rocks. I tried patching it with the repair kit but the cold air just kept hissing out. Ended up stuffing all my clothes under me just to get some sleep. Right now I'm leaning back to closed cell foam pads like the old Z-lite even if they're bulky. Has anyone else had a inflatable fail on a multi day route and what did you switch to?
