Therm-a-Rest Ridge Rest Sleeping Pad
Extra protection
By Brent Doyle
Ranked #414 - Lightweight Sleep Pads
July 10, 2009
Sometimes the day ends on a, well....ugly note. That's why it's always good to double-up. You won't feel anything, but in this case, that's a good thing and, hey, you'll sleep worry free!
On a less ambiguous note, although light, this pad is too bulky for the little support it provides. If you need a moderately bulky, all-purpose backpacking pad, I'd go with the Trail Lite or the cushy Trail Pro. If you plan on sleeping on snow and every ounce counts, double-up this pad with a Prolite Plus and you'll be golden.
