Does the sleeping PAD go inside the foot box?
No, the foot box will not fit around any pad on the market today, unless you cut down a Ridge Rest or something similar. Our foot boxes are designed for maximum thermal efficiency, which is best achieved with a snug fit. Trying to dimension the foot box to fit around a sleeping pad would sacrifice warmth and add several ounces in material and fill. We have tried bags that were meant to have the pad inside and found them to be too rigid and uncomfortable, akin to be back boarded on a litter.
