Misty Mountain Highlander

i have owned a cordless, pad industries and misty. I like the misty the best. it is well put together and the carpet cover lets you clean your shoes well. the rough surface not quite as comfy for lounging on but that is a good thing.

you can sleep on it just fine. the new franklin drop zone is too hard to sleep on.

Dito, Misty Mountain Highlander. The damn thing is like a mattress. You'll pay for it too! Roughly $275.
Not a bitch.

I have the Franklin pad and I really like it. And I don't find it hard to sleep on. If it starts to mist out, then the surface does get slick.
Just genuinely disengenuous.

piggie does your cordless have any tears in the cover, does it have a waist belt, can you wipe your feet on it?

Wren-Ri is neophyte's special friend...dah!

is wipeable a word?

Hey yo piggie, did you see that other thread about teams? What team do you play on, team So-Sissy-ill? :wink:

Oh and Arno had some words for you too.
