Starting to camp this year. I have my basic sleeping gear picked out but would like some insight before I buy it.

Bought a CB500X last year and I've modded it to the point of being able to ride dirt roads and some normal trails with ease, and now I want to start doing some one night/weekend solo motocamping.

Right now I have this picked out based on reviews, packed size, and price:

Tent - REI Half Dome 2 Plus & footprint. (I also camp a lot with my girlfriend, the size of the 2+ seems like it'd work perfectly for the two of us when I have my car to store stuff in, and it seems like it'll pack up small enough for easy packing on my bike.

Sleeping Pad - Thermarest ProLite (I'm still iffy on this based on reviews, it seems good but a few are having issues with the quality. I'm open to any suggestions on this.)

Sleeping Bag - REI Co-op Trail Pod 29 (REI just seems to have great prices for what they sell.)

Pillow - NEMO Fillo

Cooking gear n whatnot are next in line, but for the first few times I'll just be doing a simple overnight to get used to it. Any insight/suggestions are helpful!
