Sleep comfort is SO important while you’re putting yourself through an extended hike. If you’re not sleeping well, you probably won’t hike well. And your sleeping pad is one of the biggest parts of your sleeping experience, so it’s important to get it right and choose wisely. Sleeping Pad Reliability and Durability:

What Other Sleeping Pads Should You Consider?

MAX Coverage: Rectangular shape with extra width provides added coverage and enhanced comfort at camp (XTherm NXT MAX only) I’m the girl who brings a zero-degree quilt everywhere I go because I’ve shivered through too many nights with warmer sleeping bags. I run really cold. Coupled with my zero-degree quilt, the Xtherm is literally unbeatable. It took sleeping in the snow-covered San Juansfor a week for me to realize that your sleep system isn’t just about your sleeping bag. It’s called a “system” for a reason. I carried a 0-degree quilt and a very well-loved Thermarest Z-lite Sol for the duration of the Colorado Trail. An important part of this Neo Air Xtherm review is to actually consider your personal needs rather than jsut the specs of the prouct. Things to consider: While the R-value of the XTherm NXT increased from 6.9 to 7.3, again, that’s not a good enough reason in my opinion to upgrade to the XTherm NXT if you already own an older XTherm. Anything over an R-value of 6 is already going to be overkill in terms of insulation performance in winter in the lower 48. To be honest, I suspect the R-value increase in the XTherm NXT is tied to the increase in pad height, rather than being a deliberate improvement. The increase in air volume probably makes the pad warmer. Quieter

I had the opportunity to test the NeoAir Xtherm near the Great Sand Dune National Park in Colorado. I was a little bit worried that I’d turn into an ice cube overnight while camping near the Sand Dunes. It wouldn’t be the first time. But it actually took no time at all for the Xtherm to insulate my underside despite some pretty chilly temps. When comparing the Neoair Xlite vs Xtherm in size terms there are a few differences. The Xlite comes in Small, Regular, and Large. While the Xtherm only comes in Regular and Large. However, this actually makes sense for a winter product and you’ll more than likely want to opt for this Neoair Xtherm large if you’re cold weather camping. The mat has an incredibly hight R-value of 7.3, this is a mat that can be used in arctic conditions, and weighs only 694 grams, truly impressive.Unmatched Warmth-to-Weight: Patent-pending, reflective ThermaCapture™ technology traps radiant heat while Triangular Core Matrix™ construction minimizes convective heat loss–all without the bulk, weight or durability issues of down and synthetic fills. Thermarest NeoAir XLite and XTherm Review - “Increased the comfort and thermal qualities making this the perfect option for lightweight wild-camping” THERMAREST & MSR: Sale! 30% Off all MSR Tents and Thermarest Sleeping Bags including the award-winning Parsec 0! Durable: 70D Nylon fabric bottom resists punctures and delivers a pad that can be confidently and extensively used in the rugged hills and mountains. You can now directly compare the R-value of mats rated using the ASTM F3340-18 with confidence that is a fair and accurate comparison between mats. In simple terms, the higher the R-value, the warmer the mat.

The unrivalled Triangular Core Matrix offers the best warmth-to-weight ratio of any air sleeping pad construction.

From 2020, there is a new industry standard for measuring the R-value (level of insulation) of sleeping mats – ASTM F3340-18. This new standard is the sleeping mat equivalent to the EN rating for sleeping bags.

In line with current health and safety guidelines, we reserve the right to refuse any items that are (for whatever reason) not returned to us in a clean and hygienic condition. The fabric: While the Xlite is made out of 30D rip HT Nylon, the Xtherm is made out of 30D rip HT Nylon on the top and 70D nylon. The 70D nylon makes the difference in both weight and R-Value capacity, making the Xtherm the best 4-season sleeping pad on the market. Thermarest Xtherm Weight Efficiency: Ultralight: 439 g (regular) means warmth without the weight typically needed to stay warm in frigid conditionsMost of the time, I slept alright on the Z-lite. But my last couple weeks brought a bunch of snow. And I pushed my sleep system to its breaking point.When the ground froze, I could feel the temperature through my sleeping pad. I probably should have retired the Z-lite Sol after the Appalachian Trail but I like pushing gear to its limit. Sleeping Pad R-Value: The Xlite has always been seen as an incredibly efficient sleeping pad at 12 ounces (R) with a 3.2 R-Value. But the Thermarest Neoair Xtherm has taken the evolution of sleeping pads to the next step. weighing just 15 ounces and boasting an impressive 6.9 R-Value. Thermarest Sleeping Pad Comfort: Important things to take into consideration: Any time you’re sleeping on an inflatable air mattress, it’s really important to adjust the air volume to adapt to the expected air temperature. Meaning that when it’s cold outside, the air in your mattress will compress. And when it’s warm, it’ll inflate. Best Warmth-to-Weight Ratio Ever: Refined Triangular Core Matrix construction and ThermaCapture technology deliver a cold-conquering 7.3 R-Value while cutting over 1 oz (28 g) in weight from the previous model.
