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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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 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…
