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.

 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

Has anybody used this type of canister for single burner camp stoves? My stove has long connecting tube can fit on the top of the canister. I plan on lying the can down flat. These 227g (8 oz) cans are only $4 each compared to msr canisters that are $8.

 Flipping the canister over is smooth and results in a nice boost of heat; however it seems to lose the ability to adjust the flame at this point. Simmer control is where the Vega loses compared to the MSR Windpro in my opinion. The Vega controls exactly like the Crux line of stoves which is very touchy. The MSR stoves seem to control the flame with more finesse making it easier to adjust without killing the flame

 The Vega stove is lighter and packs up smaller. Having the feet built onto the canister attachment is also very convenient (MSR has a separate plastic attachment that can be lost). I also like having a slightly longer fuel line and the more aggressive pot arms on the Vega. I will say

I recently purchased the new Optimus Vega stove and have used it twice so far. This stove is marketed to the 4-season crowd who want to use a canister style stove in very cold conditions as it allows the user to easily invert the canister. Of course it can be used in warmer weather if you so choose. This remote style stove contains a swivel at the canister attachment point which allows the canister to be turned upside down (liquid feed mode) very smoothly

Optimus Vega vs MSR Windpro II

 Nubs at the ends of the supports to prevent your pot from sliding. Convenient, fold-out legs for the flipped canister position. (The MSR uses an awkward-to-pack plastic thing). And the Optimus looks cooler

This review compares the Optimus Vega and the MSR Windpro 2. Advantages of the Optimus: Lower profile. Nubs at the ends of the supports to prevent your pot from sliding. Convenient, fold-out legs for the flipped canister position

Compared to a Rival

Really like the stable low profile with the wide base and the can to the side instead of under the burner. If you’ve ever, after a long hard calorie burning day, tipped over your almost ready dinner because of a high profile profile stove that mounts on top the canister, you’ll appreciate this feature. Also I like the wider burner that helps you avoid burning food to the bottom of the pot. Then add to that the option of upending the canisters so you get full burn in the coldest of weather and you’ve got a full, unmitigated five star stove

Great Price on a 5-Star Stove

 If the gas line is bent in a specific direction, it almost tips over when removing the pan. Just be aware and make sure it is on the most flat surface you can find in the outdoors and you will be fine.

Excellent Craftsmanship

 All types have various advantages and disadvantages, and no system is perfect for every backpacking situation, however, if this is the style of stove you are looking for, you would be hard-pressed to do better than the Vega.

 Will not tip over easily. Do some research and figure out if you want an integrated cooking system (i.e. Jetboil), a screw-on-top-of-the-canister stove (i
