Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite Sleeping Pad

By Backcountry.com Employee May 7, 2009

This is a great lightweight and affordable sleeping pad. The Z-Lite's folding shape seems to pack smaller and is easier to deal with than Therm-a-Rest's classic Ridge Rest pads that just try to unroll or roll back up! The egg crate shape is quite comfortable for a reasonably thin, closed-cell pad. I find it does the trick when I'm sleeping on my back or stomach (yes, I'm no good at sleeping in sleeping bags) but you may still feel a bit of a pinch if you're on your side. In cooler temperatures, say mid to low 40s and below, you may need something a bit thicker, depending on if you're a cold sleeper. I highly recommend this pad for those looking for an affordable pad and those looking for something ultra-lightweight.
