Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite Sleeping Pad
All about the weight.

Have used the Z rest as my only sleep pad for years. Its main advantage is that it VERY light, which I appreciate when going up 2000ft gainers. Also, I love the hassle free accordion style. It is always ready for a quick rest on the side of the trail without having to dismantle my whole pack. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is its thinness. I am a side sleeper, and I have to switch sides several times a night because I feel pressure on my hip bones, not enough to be seriously uncomfortable though. I will stick with the Z rest for years to come though, because the ease and weight savings are too good to pass up.
