Description

Specifically designed for cost-conscious, ounce-counting backpackers, the Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite is a super compact, closed-cell foam pad. New construction uses dual density foam to provide a softer sleeping surface and a denser layer of support on the bottom of the Z-Lite.

A compact accordion-style design makes the Z-Lite quick and easy to pack up. The egg carton pattern enhances comfort and traps air underneath your sleeping bag, providing extra warmth. The Z-Lite's closed-cell design is durable and withstands years of use.

The Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite is available in a Regular (20" x 72" x 0.75") size.

  • Accordion-style design lies flat and packs small
  • Lightweight construction designed for ultra-lightweight backpacking
  • Egg-carton pattern enhances warmth and softness

Our Thoughts

The simplicity, versatility and durability of this pad make it a vital piece in my backpacking kit. I attach it to the outside of my pack to quickly deploy as a sitting pad for a dry and comfy base during breaks. At camp, I lay it out and stage all my gear on top to stay dry while setting up my shelter, then use it as a sleeping pad until sunrise. In the morning it is my pre-hike stretching mat. And it is an excellent soft splint in an emergency! When the pad finally comes towards the end of its camping life, I upcycle it at home in a variety of ways: a yoga mat, a base for my dog’s beds, or even DIY camp slippers. This pad can’t be beat!

Surprisingly comfortable

Likes

Despite being thin and light the Z-Lite offers good comfort. The fail-proof design is another advantage.

Dislikes

It is a little bulky

Excellent overall pad

Likes

My inflatable Therm-a-Rest unfortunately popped on my first trip, and while it's ultralight and I love it, I now use this one as extra protection (from both cold and pokey things) underneath it. Works like a charm and adds very little weight. Made in the USA, to me nothing beats Therm-a-Rest. Highly recommended.

Dislikes

Nothing.

Ideal Glass Pad

This product is ideal to cut into tri-fold pieces to use as a glass pad for the backcountry. I wouldn't recommend this for an actual sleeping pad.

Mat seems like it will provide a decent thermal barrier. Has a decent thickness and is lite weight. Seems made well.

Great value

Likes

Great value, very lightweight, packable. Love the eggshell design (no risk of popping) and insulation is great for the summer.

Dislikes

Not the warmest on the market, but DEFINITELY gets the job done for the price.

Awesome product. My son loves it and has been carrying it on his backpack for a few years now. Super lightweight too.

Dislikes

A bit bulky and doesn't come with any way to store it other than strap it to the pack. Doesn't really compress at all.

didn't like it.

Dislikes

Much bigger and bulkier than I thought. Wish I had done my research better. I ended up spending more money and getting a better insulated pad that was light and compressed down (inflatable).

In terms of closed cell foam pads, this is the only way to go. The pad is extremely light weight, durable, versatile, and most importantly comfortable. No matter what position I sleep in, I still manage to be relatively comfortable, even if I lay on my side. Granted, its not going to be as comfortable as an air pad, but for the price and how light it is who cares. No more waking up with a sore back.

Dislikes

The only thing I wish it had was a stickier surface so your sleeping bag doesn't have a chance to slide off, but as far as I know, no foam pad does so it still definitely deserves five stars.

I purchased this sleeping pad for my 15 year old son. It rained on our last backpacking trip, and water got in my son's tent. The pad dispersed the water under it and did not soak into the pad.

Dislikes

Tears easily so you have to be careful when you strap it onto a backpack.
