Description

With an ultra-lightweight design, the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite inflatable sleeping pad is built for ounce-counting backpackers. The mattress utilizes an integrated truss system and a heat-reflecting interior to achieve a 3.2 R-value.

Unlike the limited number of vertical baffles employed by most traditional inflatable pads, the NeoAir XLite utilizes horizontal air baffles. While minimizing convective cooling, Therm-a-Rest's Triangular Core Matrix technology and the increased number of baffles help to increase stability and avoid the "inflatable raft" feeling caused by overinflated vertical baffles. In addition, a patent-pending internal reflective barrier actually directs heat back to your body and cold air back to the ground!

The inflatable construction provides a full 2.5" thick support base. Ultra-lightweight, high-tenacity materials offer durability while maintaining an incredibly light packed weight. And soft, textured non-slip surface fabrics offer next-to-skin comfort that’s also quiet when you move around on the mattress. When deflated the NeoAir XLite packs down as small as a 1-Liter water bottle.

The Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite is available in Small (20" x 47"), Regular (20" x 72") and Large (25" x 77") size options. Adding additional value, a stuff sack and field repair kit are included.

Very comfortable!

Likes

I don’t feel the ground as a side sleeper. Feels very well made and durable.

Dislikes

It is a little in the crinkly side but nothing as bad as others make it seem (in my opinion). Well worth it for a good nights sleep.

As good as they say

Likes

Upgraded from a Klymit Static V and would hate to go back now. The XLite is light, packs small, works great with my quilt, and is very comfortable. After a few trips I've found I prefer it at about 90% full. That keeps it soft but full enough to never feel the ground.

Dislikes

A bit loud when rolling over, but no worse than any other pad we have.

Top Quality Pad

Likes

Just got back from 15 days of backpacking on JMT in the Sierra Nevada in late july and august. Temps at night got down to freezing, but this pad still kept me plenty warm, in my 20 degree rated sleeping bag. It is incredibly comfortable, and packs down to the size of a small biker's water bottle.

Dislikes

It takes me about 10 minutes to blow this thing up, which can be a pain at the end of a long day of hiking. However, any pad that offers this level of insulation and distance from the ground likely requires a good bit of blowing. My brother had a sea to summit UL pad, which packed down to the size of a fist, and blew up in under a minute, but it was not nearly as comfortable or insulating. It depends on what your priorities are. Also the fastest way to pack the pad back into its container is by folding it into thirds and then carefully rolling it up, which also is time consuming and tedious compared to simply stuffing into the bag. Check out outdoorgearlab for their review.

Great for shorter camper

Likes

The smaller size is lighter and great for smaller size camper/hiker like myself. It's my first time using a sleeping pad. The r-value, for what it is, is good enough to stay warm and not feel the cold ground.

Dislikes

It can be a litter wider because sometime I fee like that I could slip off to the right or left. If you like sleep on your side or you tend to roll, you will slip off the pad.

Ultralight and Comfortable

Likes

I like how lightweight this pad is. It weights only 6.7 oz on my scale! It doesn't take so many breaths to inflate it like the regular size and it takes very little space on my pack. I'm a side sleeper so it works well even though is narrower at the hips. I'm 6.4" and it comes almost to my knees. I use my backpack for padding under my legs.

Dislikes

This pad is a little narrower at the hips than the regular size pad. It may not be for everyone. If your main goal is to cut on weight then it may be for you.

Very light, comfortable

Likes

Extremely light, packs small. Fairly comfortable to sleep on, but if you're tall/wide shoulders, definitely get the 25" wider version

Dislikes

Slightly noisy when turning on it at night. Not too bad though. Putting down a light fabric layer on top helps with the noise.

Good pad

Likes

This is a comfortable pad Thick enough for any hard ground. Good for taller or larger people over 6'. Did not feel any cold coming through. Weighs about a pound.

Dislikes

I had to order the large pad because the regular felt tippy and I felt like I was going to fall off. The large is Really large and almost too big. It would be nice if they made a regular, but wide version.

The Best of the Best

Likes

Just like the 1989 movie, The Best of the Best, this sleeping pad really kicks butt. It packs down small, is light and very comfortable. On top of that it will keep you warm on chilly nights. ♤♡◇♧ Also, I used this in conjunction with the Thermarest NeoAir mini air pump and it works great. It basically gets you to 90% and you top off to your desired firmness. I'd say its definitely worth it.

Dislikes

I purchased R (regular) size and as a 5'11" @ 205lbs 44R jacket, felt it was a little small. I felt my arms would hang off the sides when I was lying on my back. I may decide to swap for the Long which will also give you a few more inches on either side.

Great Pad

Likes

I thought this pad was amazing. It was super light and compact for carrying and inflated rather easily. I inflated it by mouth. It was great for a large guy like, i never touched the floor and didn't have to re inflate at all. It was a lot for comfortable to sleep on than I expected. Would highly recommend.

Dislikes

My only dislike on this pad is the price. It is very expensive but it works great. The lifetime warranty on this also gives me a little piece of mind having spent that much on a sleeping pad.
