Therm-a-Rest made the Trail Sleeping Pad for car-campers who want an affordable, durable, lightweight pad. Camping equipment for the whole family can be expensive, which is why the Trail Sleeping Pad comes in four different sizes. Therm-a-Rest made this pad right here in the USA, and gave it their lifetime warranty.
Bottom Line: Therm-a-Rest's Trail Sleeping Pad cushions your sleep without thinning your wallet.
Doesn't come with a stuff sack but they are sold here for 10 bucks. Rolled in the sack appears to be 14 x 6.5 inches. I have always folded mine longwise and then S-rolled it in a roughly square shape to store inside the pack.
This pad isn't expensive compared to the other therm-a-rest so you get what you pay for. If you are looking for the most comfort, this one is not for you. Its great backpacking cause its lite and packs really small compared to other pads. But it could be a little thicker.
I have used my Thermarest Trail Sleeping pad all over the world. I took this thing on an 11-month journey to 19 countries. It withstood every beating I could give it including inch-long thorns and cut-your feet grass in South Africa. Even after 11-months of practically always sleeping on this thing, my back was fine. No complaints from me. I wouldn't recommend another brand.
No. Thermarest will absorb water into the outer fabric. That said, water will not penetrate through the pad- it does hold air so water won't get into it. So you can sleep on the ground and expect to stay dry, your pad may be damp but they dry quickly. Hope that helps.
I bought the short version for my kids and have heard no complaints. This is a very basic mat and I am a little concerned with yhe durability of the material. No issues yet though.
I haven't seen the previous person's question answered, so I'll ask it again. Is the Therm-a-Rest Trail Sleeping Pad self-inflating? If so, what depth does it inflate to?
This thing is amazing. It's actually more comfortable than many beds I've slept on. Not only am I taking it on all my future backpacking and camping trips, I'm also considering using it when staying at my parents' or friends' houses. I find that giving it a puff or two of extra air past self-inflation makes it the most comfortable for me.
I purchased 2 of these at my local outfitter. Brought them up for an over nighter both failed before the end of the night!! Yes one night. I will definately be finding out where to send these for my warranty!!
