Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It’s extremely lightweight and is perfect for backpacking. It saves unneeded bulk on cargo. Ground camping is much warmer now, too. It is very sturdy.

Make sure the winglock valve is open which is how you let air in when self inflating. It's easy to inflate/deflate and packs relatively well. It self inflates quickly and only needs a few more blows to become fully firm.

If you’re an adventurer that prefers a practical reliable of this is it. Bought 2 of these, and i think i chose wisely.

Basically the same as my decade old standby. I’m a side sleeper so the separation from the floor matters a lot for me. I put some stuff from the back pack under the feet, and some under head as a pillow, the body rests ont the mattress.

It deflates and rolls up easily and fairly small. It rolls up to the size of a nalgene bottle. Packs up small and quick to deflate.

Cons

The valve seems to be broken or internally cracked somehow. It just spins freely with one turn to the left, yet it will not take in any air. I currently own 4 thermarest pads and none of them stay inflated through the night.

Quality

I slept on this pad with my teton 20 degree sleeping bag and didnt get cold at all and it got down into the fifties i slept wit... Read More

At home i keep it stored flat under my bed with the valve open as the instructions say and it still selfinflates as well as ever

Reminder the instruction says to store the pad flat with the valve open

Shipping

If you are shipping or flying this sleeping pad make sure to do so with the valve open so that pressure changes do not bust the valve

Packaging/appearance

Was easily fixed with a patch and works just like new

My last trip with it was in the sierra nevadas at 10500 ft and it snowed 6 inches and got down into the mid20s

I was concerned that it might be difficult to put the pad back into the bag after deflation but no problem at all

Competitiveness

I used this particular mat for a 10day camping trip

Purchased a thermarest pad for teenage son who used it on his first three day backpacking trip in the north cascades

Inflating takes under a minute and holds air for at least a few days with reinflation being topping off the air after day 3

However im likely going to switch to the zlite from thermarest
