Which one is thicker? All insulation is, is dead air space. Get which ever is thicker.

You know the last 8" or so of your thermarest pad you don't really need? Chop it off and roll it up to fit around your nalgene. I used some duct tape and cut out round pieces/flaps for the bottom and top. My tea stays uberwarm for most of the day that way. Best of all, it costs nothing.

Hey, I did just what you said. Now my Thermarest is a useless piece of junk because the air leaks out as fast as I blow it in. Thanks a lot!
