# Nolan N102 Flip-up Helmet
I have the previous model and love it love it love it. best feature: no d-rings to tie it on. If you forget and put your gloves on too soon – no problem!
# Therm-a-Rest sleeping pad
Mine is about 10 years old. recommendation: follow the manufacturer instruction and store it inflated between trips. If you store it rolled up, it will lose it “auto-inflate” feature. Also: I’d recommend a sleeping bag with a long sleeve to put the pad in, or some other way to attach the pad to the bag. I’ve had a few restless nights camping because I had to keep sliding back onto the pad. If you want to save a few bucks, used, non-inflating pads are available.
