Source: bigagnes.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by cleverhiker.com. The official Big Agnes product page (SKU PRSLIL24) confirms this exact updated model — an "insulated, superlight, compact, 3-season air chamber sleeping pad" third-party-rated at R-Value 4.8, with a 3.5"/9cm-thick pad (11cm outer chambers), dual heat-reflective-film insulation, a nylon double-ripstop shell, and an included Pumphouse inflation sack — and lists the regular 20" x 72" size at $169.95. The dated CleverHiker field review (Nov 20, 2024) corroborates the current model at R-Value 4.8, 3.5 in thickness, rectangular shape, and ~$170; Advnture (May 2025) independently confirms the regular size is a "standard 20in x 72in." Metric weight, inflated dimensions, packed size, and shell denier are not stated on either cited page (and current-gen reviews disagree on weight/packed size, while a 2023 review describes the pre-update R-4.2/Primaloft version), so those keys are left null rather than guessed.
