I was hoping to switch from Trail Pro pad to XLite, but found some drawbacks in the latter: - top is non-fabric and not so comfortable - it's very rustling when tossing and…

So light i don't even realize i have it inside my pack. Best for going ultralight, and yet still cheap. Extremely easy to fill up, and just as easy to deflate. Its about the s…

I've been blessed with a herniated disc in my lower back. I avoided surgery thanks to my yoga butted MILF physical therapist's hard work but I have a creaky back now and need…

Loving the latest technology in sleeping pads 1. Self Inflating 2. Comfortable 3. Compact 4. Light Weight I didn't think sleeping pads were worth more than $40.00 so I ex…

I certainly wouldn't take these backpacking, but we used them for a 9 day (sagged) bike trip, and they were amazing. Once you've biked 60 or 70 miles, hauled all your crap to…

I have had this pad for several trips now. The sleep that I have gotten in the back-country since getting this pad has greatly increased. It is also pretty light pad that does…

This pad is comfortable and helps retain a lot of heat. It's a bit heavier then the new NeoAir pads but I believe it to be more durable. It flattens out nicely and sits on t…

I recently purchased this mat to replace an older self inflating mattress and I am blown away by the difference in weight, while maintaining the same level of comfort. The mat…

I love this thing.. unroll it and it will self inflate in about 2-4 minutes.. enough that all you will need to do is throw 1-2 breathes to adjust the firmness. its very ligh…

Combined with a closed cell foam matt this mattress has always kept me warm and comfortable whether it's on a mates lounge room floor or in my tent in the snow. Packs up nice…

i was upgrading from a ThermaRest TrailPro wanting something more compact and lighter. the XTherm is both of those, and warm as well. the interior ‘space blanket’ reflecti…

I have the regular NeoAir (the yellow one) and love it. I was thinking of switching to the Xtherm because of it's higher R value and nearly identical weight. So I laid down on…

We are new to backpacking, early 40's in age and wanted something comfortable and warm. We did quite a bit of research before choosing this one. It is not as light or small…

I am soo glad that I bought this sleeping pad. Sure, it's not the lightest out there, but the good sleep I get on it is worth the weight. (not that it's heavy by any means). I…

I have this pad and use it backpacking. Very comfortable and warm. It has never leaked and stays full all night long. My only complaints are that it is bulky compared to th…

Love my therm a rest. Always easy to inflate. You can tell the quality therm a rest uses in building their sleeping pads. Seams are strong and durable. You can't beat going wi…

OK guys, this is the same as the Neo Air Xlite, except it's 66", which falls between the "short" (47") and "long" (72") on the regular Neo Air Xlite. 66" is 5 foot 6, for t…

I am always skeptical of products that market themselves as the "women's version", but in this case, there are actual structural changes to the pad that seem to be relevant.…

This pad is perfect for women extra thick were need and amazingly comfortable. This pad has both served as a plain sleeping pad but also as a very much need raft to get my pa…

I bought this for my wife because I already have a regular trail pro. I was surprised to see they made a female specific version and I was intrigued to see the difference betw…

While in the miltary I hurt my back in the middle east. After I cam home I found out I needed a lot more support when I camped. This was the answer to all my problems. I could…

This is a very well-made Thermarest pad - very supportive and durable - but it's very slippery and doesn't have bag loops on the end. It's moderately comfortable and pretty li…

This sleeping pad exceeded my expectations. It's very comfy under my sleeping bag, on hard ground, and did a good job keeping me warm during a mild 50-degree night. It does t…

First off, this is for base camping, not backpacking...unless you're the hulk. I got tired of having to blow up air mattresses and then have them start leaking through the nig…

I love this mattress! I use it with the thermarest luxury lite cot and its an amazing combination. It's kind of big to carry but if you have the space it's worth it! I love…

I found out about this sleeping pad on Backpacker.com.They recommended it because it's a great buy. I went with the Small size to save weight and money, hoping it would still…

This pad is acceptable if you simply can't afford anything else, but, as far as comfort goes, this pad is very lacking. As a side-sleeper, whenever I've used this pad, my hips…

There have been many a camping trips I wish I'd had this sleeping pad. So It doesn't smash back down very well, but it's not very heavy and was a great deal! Couldn't pass it…

Just like all Thermarest, it is built like a tank. Strong and lightweight, this pad is great for car camping. It doesn't pack down like it's gram weenie brothers and sisters d…
