Thermarest Neoair Uberlite

They give you the best insulation for the weight that you can buy. The uberlite is the lightest full size pad there is and still has an R value of 2.3. The Xtherm is so warm you could lie right on ice in freezing conditions and yet it’s only 600g or so. At the high end, performance is more of a priority than durability but they are perfectly useable.

Love this pad but hate the sizing choices. My ideal pad would be 22-23 inches wide and 55-60 inches long. Sleeping bag companies figured out more than 20 years ago now that people don’t sleep like stiff straight logs. The stopped making super narrow mummy bags and started smart shaping them to give ...

Being able to throw it down for post-lunch naps is also really convenient. Not having to worry about popping an inflatable provides some peace of mind too.

I bought this pad to cut weight from my pack. It certainly delivers on being one of the lightest weight pads out there, without sacrificing comfort or warmth.

However, I tend to toss and turn a lot when I'm camping, and the noise this pad makes when you make even the slightest movement is very of...

and too light(R value of 0.5) to be your only insulation. If you are planning on sleeping outside, then you need to add some additional insulation. Ground will suck away your bodies heat. Something like NeoAir Uberlite is pretty compact and will allow you to sleep and survive during the night.

I have found this mattress to be plenty warm for three-season camping, and obviously the weight is fantastic. It's not super comfortable, but pretty much in line with the competition. However, you do really need to be careful with it, and even if you're careful, you may end up with a failure. I used...

It seems fragile but held up great despite some pretty questionable campsite selection. Mine developed a small leak weeks after, independent of the thru hike while I was doing some trail building and MEC did a full cash refund no questions asked - I had somewhere in the area of 80 nights on it by then. I plan on hitting the CDT in 2022 and feel comfortable bringing an Uberlite along with a patch kit should something similar occur.

With its impressive specs and tiny footprint, this pad might just find a place in your ultralight backpacking kit. it is quite loud when you move around, so I would only really recommend it when traveling solo without anyone nearby. But otherwise, this is an impressive product that will hopefully se...

I have a Feathered Friends quilt comfort rated for 40 degrees, and I sleep cold in it (if I don't take any of the advice I recommend below) at 55 degrees, on a Thermarest NeoAir Uberlite. A good tip from cycling is to wrap your toes with tin foil. Not the whole foot, just the toebox area. Having a well insulated pad that is oriented the right direction (make sure it's not flipped upside down because some are sided, e.g.

I really enjoyed this pad before three chambers ripped (the sound woke me up) while I was sleeping on it and formed a big bubble. Otherwise, very comfortable and ridiculously light and packable, but had to return it. The new Thermarest valves are quite the improvement. I'll probably give it another ...
