Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm Camping and Backpacking Sleeping Pad

Product Information

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. Please note that inflatables such as sleeping mats are not considered as faulty if they become punctured during use and are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty in this event. 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: 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:

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. MAX Coverage: Rectangular shape with extra width provides added coverage and enhanced comfort at camp (XTherm NXT MAX only) To enhance the comfort and versatility of thesemattresses even further,similar to the current XThermMAX, for 2023, both the XLite and XTherm NXT willbe available in the existing mummy shape andamorespacious rectangularshape, perfect forthoseseekinga little extra comfort and spacewhile they sleep.

Recommendation

Best Warmth-to-Weight Ratio Ever: Refined Triangular Core Matrix construction and ThermaCapture technology deliver a cold-conquering 7. R-Value while cutting over 2 oz (57 g) in weight from the previous model. The NeoAir XLiteNXTis available in sizes:Regular Short, Regular, Regular Wide, Large, MAX Regular Wide and MAX Large And Thermarest is known for having really terrific customer service, so at the very least, they’ll probably fix whatever problems you might encounter. 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:

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. 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. Durable: 70D Nylon fabric bottom resists punctures and delivers a pad that can be confidently and extensively used in the rugged hills and mountains. 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 599 grams, truly impressive. Boasting the most warmth per gram for an ultra lightweight mattress, the Thermarest NeoAir XTherm is trusted by mountaineers worldwide.

SEATING & COTS

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