The Therm-A-Rest NeoAir XLite Ultralight Inflatable Air Mattress for three-season backpacking, mountaineering, and camping is the ultimate minimalist’s expedition sleeping pad. Offering maximum warmth for the weight, it's designed specifically for adding a padded layer of warmth and insulation between sleeping bag and ground in alpine conditions. Baffled internal structure provides support and comfort in a 2. 5-inch inflated mattress, for a restful night in the backcountry. The Therm-A-Rest NeoAir XLite sleeping pad is perfect for lightweight expeditions thanks to its innovative tapered design and materials, which eliminate bulk, making it possible to pack the ground pad to the size of a one-liter water bottle. Available in two styles: Equipped with the Standard Valve, or equipped with the WingLock Valve which is able to inflate a pad three times faster than a standard valve thanks to a larger barrel and optional one-way inflation. Standard Valve models include stuff sack and repair kit for fixing punctures, and WingLock Valve models include a pump sack (for easier, breath-free pad inflation), a stuff sack and a repair kit. Made in the USA. Manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty.

Wirecutter

This has been the top choice of weight-conscious backpackers for years. No other pad is as light, warm, and comfortable as this dependable air mattress.

OutdoorGearLab

Once again, the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite takes home our highest honors in the ultralight category. While there is always a temptation to utilize the lightest equipment on the market, this isn't always the most pragmatic. The XLite is extremely light, but just as important is the performance packed into that tiny mass. We feel it is critical to retain decent insulative properties to be versatile enough for the mountains. The 4.2 R-value settles the XLite firmly in the three-season category, making it comfortable even for fall days in the desert when you wake up with a bit of frost on your bivy.
The dimensions are a bit tight for larger individuals. Consider checking out the wider option if you're over six feet tall &mdash; with shoulders to match. The newest update of this pad did gain some extra warmth, a cool new valve system, and, unfortunately, a few ounces. 

Switchback Travel

Therm-a-Rest is synonymous with quality backpacking pads, and the NeoAir XLite is their leading lightweight model. For many people and uses, it’s the whole package: The XLite is comfortable with Therm-a-Rest’s signature internal baffling, weighs just 12 ounces (2.5 oz. less than our top-rated Tensor above), and the R-value of 4.2 is plenty for most 3-season trips (the women's model is even warmer at 5.4). Further, the XLite stuffs down impressively small and takes up very little space in your pack, in addition to featuring relatively durable 30-denier fabric.

The Therm-a-Rest XLite and Nemo Tensor Insulated are neck and neck for our top pick, with just slight differences in price, weight, durability, and comfort. The XLite is a few ounces lighter than the Tensor and a bit more durable, but the tradeoff is a larger price tag (by $10) and a half-inch less cushion. And although we give the slight edge to the Nemo’s valve, we still like the XLite’s WingLock, which features one-way inflation for improved efficiency and boasts plastic “wings” along the side that can be twisted open to quickly release air. In the end, both designs are ideal for weight-conscious backpackers, and your final choice might come down to size: The Nemo comes in both rectangular and mummy shapes and two lengths and widths, while the Therm-a-Rest is offered in three lengths and one extra-wide version (all mummy-shaped), in addition to a women's model.See the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite  See the Women's Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite

2 under the new standard that's out there. If you don't know what our value is or that new standard, I'll post links to two videos I did on both those things down the video description so you can check that out. It weighs 430 grams or 15 ounces which is super light for sleeping pad. It's made with a 30 denier rip stop nylon material which is pretty durable, but not super durable and that's where it gets a lot of its weight savings from

 It reflects heat up to you and reflects cold away from you. The second thing is triangular core matrix. It's a mouthful, but basically that is is two triangular baffles are suspended throughout the sleeping pad and it really helps keep warm air and cold air separate so that that warm air is near you and the cold air is far away from you. The reason why this has a 4

 It's a mouthful, but basically that is is two triangular baffles are suspended throughout the sleeping pad and it really helps keep warm air and cold air separate so that that warm air is near you and the cold air is far away from you. The reason why this has a 4.2 and the other one has a three. Even though there is no change to the actual insulative and structural abilities of this pad, is because of that new Astm standard that I talked about earlier

 I just find that super comfortable to sleep on. It allows you just to toss and turn a little bit more and not feel like you're about to fall off the sleeping pad. The thickness of the pad is pretty good at 2.5 inches thick

The TRUTH about the THERMAREST XLITE | Sleeping Pad Review |

I'm 6' 1'' 220lbs and as a fellow side sleeper do not recommend the neo air xlite. I bought one because I was told it was the best for taller people but it's a very uncomfortable and narrow pad imo. If weight isn't a huge issue I would go for something heavier and rectangle in shape so it gives you more room for better sleep.

**Location/Trip Description:** Glacier NP North Circle. 7 days. Mid-August. General 3 season backpacking.

**Goal Baseweight:** No goal; replace some old gear with newer lighter options. 

**Budget:** $600

**Non-Negotiable Items:** My pack only has 2 trips on it. Not interested in upgrading that. 

**Solo or with another person:** One other

**Additional Information:** I got lucky this year and drew permits for a 7 day trip around the North Circle loop in Glacier National park in mid-August. I have a full setup of backpacking gear, but I definitely want to upgrade a few things. Please have a look and let me know what you think.

[Here is my admittedly not very ultralight LighterPack list](https://www.lighterpack.com/r/84map7)

Specific Questions:  
(For reference, I'm 6'2' 210# side-sleeper)

1. Definitely getting a new sleep system. I'm considering a 20deg down quilt. Specifically, the Enlightened Equipment Revelation. What do you think about this setup for Montana in August? I'm coming from an old synthetic mummy bag. 
2. The R value on my current sleeping pad is low, so I'd like to upgrade that. What's the current go-to pad? 
3. It's a lower priority, but I'm not terribly happy with my LHG Solong 6 tent. I was looking at maybe replacing it with a Drop + Dan Durston X-Mid Tent 1P tent. How do you think these two tents compare? Would the X-Mid be an upgrade, or just a "lateral move"?
4. Looking at everything else in the LighterPack list, what are the big areas you see for weight savings?

4r vs 4.2r of the “regular” Neoair xlite both of those are 12oz. And the xmid seems like best bang for the buck as far as tents go. I have a duplex and a tarp  but the price difference between a 2p xmid and duplex is pretty significant

 It was on sale on Amazon so I ordered it. Immediately after opening the box I was shocked how long and narrow this pad is (as compared to my previous Klymit V2 sleeping pad). I went online and saw that Thermarest NeoAir XLite is listed as 20 inches wide while my Klymit pad was 25inches. That's a whole 5 inches narrower and I knew immediately I might have issues with that

 I went online and saw that Thermarest NeoAir XLite is listed as 20 inches wide while my Klymit pad was 25inches. That's a whole 5 inches narrower and I knew immediately I might have issues with that. (I sold the V2 because it wasn't offering enough support for me as a side sleeper as it wasn't warm enough.) On the contrary, NeoAir XLite is super comfortable! My issue is that it takes quite a few breaths to inflate but I learned quickly that you don't need to inflate it more than halfway as your weight will distribute evenly

 Just to be clear, I am a stomach/side sleeper with one leg slightly raised, which makes my body width well beyond this mat and I would sleep with half of my leg off the mat if I wanted to position myself comfortably, and hence, touch the ground through the night. It wasn't much of an issue in summer, but I know I would be freezing in colder conditions. Because the mat is so narrow, it doesn't work for me. I wish it was 3-5 inches wider

Great sleeping pad but TOO NARROW - doesn't work for me

 I am back sleeper however I do move to my side in a tent and this pad supports the body very well. Its been backcountry camping about 15 times and has held up thus far but only 6 months old. Durability is good so far, but admittedly, because of the cost, I treat it more delicately than say other camping supplies.

 It was most important to me to save weight as well as be warm and that is exactly what I got. The design is narrow, so if you sprawl out, I would suggest something bigger or wider.

Warm Body, Light pack

 Free pillow.) The pad had been used for about 100 nights and was less than a year old. I submitted a warranty enquiry on Cascade's website, and the auto-response email wasn't encouraging: "it could take up to twelve weeks to hear back." However, I heard from them the next day, supplied some extra information, and received a replacement less than a week later

Survival On Purpose

 They also give you this little tool here which enables you to quickly change out the valve simply by unscrewing it here and then on the bottom. Here you simply just take the fuel cup off, you take the little wick off, and then this part pops out and there's your jet. So you would just change this jet by simply unscrewing it with the tool here and then you could put whatever jet in there that you are going to use depending on the fuel setup that you're going to use. But today we're going to use the white gas

 That's where fuels like white gas in these, where you can pressurize yourself work much better in the cooler temps or at altitude where the pressure is a lot lower. So in the kit here you have a windscreen. This definitely helps out, maintains you know efficiency for your stove and makes it you know, boil your water that much faster. You have the pump system here that goes into the canister and then we have the stove itself

 The system cools down really fast - I'm already able to touch these feet here and it's been two minutes since I turned off the stove so that's cool. Takedown is basically the exact same thing in: Reverse Just pop this little clip off my valve here. Go ahead and just pull my gas right out of the valve here. Now you want to unscrew this slowly? obviously because if it's still pressurized, you don't want to have this thing go crazy on you

 So the like the stove. You just want to turn the canister on a very little bit until you get a very little amount of gas built up in the little cup here and then you can light it. It'll burn off that gas for a while a few minutes and then you can add more fuel into the mix and it will ignite just like a regular. you know, butane stove would now somehow I made it out here today without a lighter

MSR WhisperLite Universal Stove Review

 It says it'll burn 136 minutes on 20 ounces of fuel. So this is a 20 ounce fuel bottle and it is completely full. So theoretically over two hours of on high boiling with this stove. With this amount of fuel it's very reliable

 It's designed to work in any kind of conditions, to be very reliable, and to be very easy to fix. It's very easy to maintain out in the field. It's designed to function flawlessly in almost any conditions. It's very simple to use, and these are all the reasons that not only myself, but many, many other people, thousands and tens of thousands of people have loved this stove over the years

 So about fifty sixty dollars you can get yourself one of these and be up and running very quickly. Let's take it outside. I I am brave with a lot of stoves on starting them indoors, but this particular white gas stove I'm not going to. I just don't like the procedure as far as putting it

 But do I see myself using this stove a lot? Personally? Me: no, I don't see myself using it very much. Bottom line is is that I'm not a mountaineer. I live at sea level or less. In some cases, we walk around below sea level at times

Is The MSR WHISPERLITE Still the GOLD STANDARD of Liquid Fueled Camp Stoves?

 durable. compact and uses white gas. (I'm not a fan of butane. yet) And I've had a MSR 20 oz fuel bottle for as long as I can remember that filled my lantern and other stove that we're about to talk about

 I should've done more research on the size and weight of this new Whisperlight because my 442 has it beat. The Whisperlight pack size (with the bottle you need to run it) is bigger and when you add a 20oz full bottle it weighs more. And I don't have to assemble my 442 to use it. So I am open to suggestions and reasons why I should like this new MSR Whisperlight over my 442

 packs small. has its own built in tank and NEVER has let me down. I should've done more research on the size and weight of this new Whisperlight because my 442 has it beat. The Whisperlight pack size (with the bottle you need to run it) is bigger and when you add a 20oz full bottle it weighs more

Disappointed

Best price I found was right here (for a place that did more than take your credit card info that is).  They delivered quickly for covid times.

When I like to use gas (white gasoline) I like this stove because it is lightweight and packs small.  Not a lot of complex valves to go wrong with it, either.    All of the real weight is in my fuel bottles but as you camp, you burn the liquid and lighten your load.

Tried, tested and hard to improve upon.

 I appreciate the flame control & it's weather dependecy. With the wind screen in place it will work in about any environment. I'd say it's not the best in any one category - but the best overall. One piece of advice: buy the maintenance kit
