3 Season Camping

Comments about Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol Sleeping Pad:

I have this pad. It folds easily but requires lots of space. To make this 4 season, wrap in a micro fleece blanket or a space blanket or sac. This offers you further insul properties.

Even when you lie on it, and compress "it" by virtue of "dead" weight, it insulates well enough to leave you impressed with its' propeties.

Unlike closed cell foam, you don't have to fight to get the pad to lie flat out.

I've used this with a Hennessey Hammock, double bottom, and several different tents I own. In addition, I own three bivy sacks - different types, and it fits inside perfect.

A good deal all the way around! You can't go wrong with this one.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol Sleeping Pad:

I've used this on a couple of backpacking / camping trips and do enjoy the use of this. I will be purchasing an inflatable pad to use in conjunction with this pad to get more cushion though. I am a side sleeper and this does not provide me with enough comfort, yet it is better than sleeping on the ground! My sleeping bag does slide on this mat, but I do not use a tie down. I realize that i am not supposed to feel like I am sleeping on a mattress, but I do want a little extra comfort when sleeping on my side.

3 Season Camping

Comments about Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol Sleeping Pad:

I used this in combination with my Thermarest NeoAir 'Short' for a recent winter backpacking trip. Low tempuratures in the teens. I laid the Sol down (silver side up), then my NeoAir (yellow side up) with my pack down below my calves. I was never cold. I'm sure if I had left the Sol at home, however, that the NeoAir wouldn't have been quite enough. This is a winner. Inexpensive, utterly durable, and a decent insulator. It's major shortcoming is that it is bulky, but its' lightweight allows you to secure it outside your pack wthout throwing off your balance. Nice value - a good piece of kit.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol Sleeping Pad:

I use it for camping in all seasons and its not only warm and soft but if you put it on some annoying rocks or roots it really soaks them up. I have even used this as a substitute for my own bed in a few cases where my back was out of wack and it did the trick. and apparently it doubles as an exercise/yoga mat according to the way my girlfriend was using it one day.

I bought a self inflating previous to this and didnt like it. take too long to set up and tear down and not nearly as consistently comfortable.

overall an excellent product that is quick and easy to pack, smaller and lighter than the competition and is as comfortable as it gets.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol Sleeping Pad:

Great update on last years model, not sure about it being 20% warmer but for a non inflatable pad it's great. Obviously this isn't as comfortable or as warm as my exped but that's to be expected. Great price and I would absolutely recommend this product especially if you like to pack on the light side!

Comments about Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol Sleeping Pad:

I got this for camping. I love the fold, not having to roll. Since then I've discovered a use that I put it to every day. It's the perfect stretching/yoga pad because it's easy to stow and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, the indentations allow one to position fingers and toes for perfect alighment and NO SLIPPING. This is critical for certain positions like the "downward dog" - you can put all into the move without worry of injury from slipping.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol Sleeping Pad:

Pros: The best thing about this pad that I can't seem to part with is it's utility in camp. You don't have to inflate it, it flattens out nicely in an instant, and you cannot break it. What does that as up to? you can turn any stump, boulder, bump, or generally bad piece of ground into a comfortable lounging spot in about a second and you don't have to worry about popping your $150 inflatable. That may sound kinda silly to some, but being able to set up a comfy spot to relax after hiking [*] is priceless.It is also light and easier to pack than you would think... it hardly weighs anything. As another post stated already you can lash this thing on anywhere and you won't even notice it, so pack size isn't really any issue.Cons: tends to slip around a little and is not thick enough to be comfortable for a tossy-turning side sleeper like myself. I might still end up with a NeoAir...
