Therm-a-Rest Ridge Rest SOLite Sleeping Pad
Inexpensive & Lightweight
By moroni
Ranked #8 - Lightweight Sleep Pads
December 27, 2007
I've used this sleeping pad mainly for short winter backpacking trips where a lightweight pad is important. Being closed cell foam it insulates quite well from the cold ground & is fairly comfortable. It is also very inexpensive. The only negative I've found is it's bulky size when rolled up. Even in the stuff sack, it is still a good size package. If you're on a budget, this is a good choice.

Bulky. If it's attached to the back of your pack and you need to bushwhack, it will get shredded and make a mess.
