Review:
My very first inflatable mattress for camping and hiking - a truly great product. Simple to use, reliable and durable. This is the thicker model of Thermarest ProLite and ideal for 3 season camping or if you just want the extra bit of padding. Like all Thermarest sleeping pads, it folds down quite small and is really light - not the smallest and lightest but based on its overall size and thickness its still considered a compact pad. The product is quite expensive but if you take care of the pad (keep it clean, away from sharp edges and objects, dry out after getting wet, etc.), it will last for many many years. I have used it when camping on snow as well, however for that kind of environment it is a bit too thin on its own and you will feel the cold creeping up from below during the night.
Pros:
- Durability
- Reliable
- Compact and light weight
Cons:
- None
Comment:
Excellent product. Used it on almost every camping trip for over 10 years and it shows no sign of weakness. If you take care of the product it will last you half a life time. Wouldn't buy anything else as sleeping pad.
