My favorite place Waking up is in a sleeping bag, which is good because I wake up a lot while sleeping in the sleeping bag. This is not a bag, it’s a pad under me. I have tried them all (this is part of my work), and while some are definitely better than others, I have never found the one who fulfilled every backpacker’s dream – a lightweight, pack sleeping pad that makes you feel like a bed left at home.
So far, that is. Therm-A Rest Noloft Sleeping Pad is not the lighter in 25 ounces-ged by, ultra-light readers-but 4.6-inch cushion is a real luxury offer, and it provides a lot of comfort at night, which can be far more valuable than some ounces of excuses.

There are two problems with taking a large pad of gold in the back county. First of all, you have to lift weights, and then your pack contains the amount of room. The most light community online will try to convince you that camp peace – that is, your shelter and your sleep setup was not as important as wearing weight, so you can move forward faster.
Depending on your goals in the back county, this can really be true. But after trying it for some trips, I have learned that it’s not for me. To me, lifting a little overweight in the form of heavy tents and gold pads supports me better night’s sleep, which helps me add more than weighing but poor sleep.
The Therm-A-Rest’s new neolft pad steps into the debate of weight/size/relief that is a heavy inclination toward relief.

For all of them, though, neolophit is not They When you are packaged, especially consider how big it is when you flourish.
The neoloft reliably packs on a size that is larger than a bottle of waterjin. It’s a hard squeeze that fit the neolopate in me Hyperlite junction 40 With the rest of my gear, but it works for smaller seizures where I am not taking a ton of food. For more than three or four nights, I want 55L packs. (Naturally, it will depend on the rest of your gear size. You can see what I take Lighter pack.
I would admit that I was checking this pad. I didn’t want to drag it with me, but when I really loaded it… I really didn’t really see an extra 8 ounces in what I really carry. Once again, I’m not trying to win any ultra -light prizes. In fact, I am looking for the right balance between weight and relief.

I test organic mattresses for the wired, and I use the same standard to decide the gold pads. During sleep, the comfort of how well your pad keeps you warm, how well it relieves the pressure, how much it helps it, and how stable to sleep.
