Therm A Rest Neoair Trekker Sleeping Pad Review

Therm a rest neoair trekker sleeping pad review.

Therm a rest neoair trekker sleeping pad review. Its rectangular shape gave our side sleeping testers more room to roll around than the mummy shaped neoair xtherm. The therm a rest neoair trekker is a rugged three season sleeping pad that i ve tested on nights ranging from an island beach to a sub freezing mountain top. The 2 5 inch thick trekker delivers the same plush comfort in a light and compressible package but costs 50 less. It has an impressive r value of 4 9 but weighs more than our editors choice award winner.

The therm a rest neoair trekker sleeping pad is now 50 warmer than the previous version pushing its comfort range well into spring and fall backpacking trips. The trekker has an r value of 3 and costs 129 95. 481 g and has the dimensions 72 x 20 x 2 5 in. The therm a rest neoair camper sv is one of the most comfortable compact inflatable sleeping pads we tested.

Its rectangular shape combined with three inches of cushion make it a fantastic choice for those that value comfort over weight savings. As with any inflatable sleeping pad the maximum r value occurs when the pad is fully inflated. The therm a rest neoair all season sv is a warm and comfortable pad. Therm a rest combines advanced patent pending technology and material with decades of experience to offer a lightweight warm and incredibly compactible sleeping pad offering twice the warmth of other uninsulated sleeping pads internal baffling reduces convection heat loss between a warm body and cold ground much like a dual pane window.

I tried the therm a rest xlite pad before settling on this one. Therm a rest discontinued the neoair all season sv pad as of march 2020. Feedback from our various reviewers backs up this claim. So i sucked it up and put 5 ounces more into my base weight and have never regretted it.

With a stated r value of 3 2 therm a rest claims that the xlite should be comfortable down to about 20 degrees f. The trekker weighs 17 oz. It isn t the lightest pad in the review but it is one of the most comfortable. The trekker is a more affordable descendant of the neoair which won our editors choice award in 2009.

The therm a rest neoair trekker falls awkwardly between other neoair pads. Our testers prefer the neoair all season which keeps the trekker s rectangular shape but adds more warmth or the neoair camper which is more comfortable than the trekker and cheaper. Our analysis and test results. The review to follow is our account of the older neoair venture.

If you re looking for a do it all pad the therm a rest neoair venture is a great pick especially if you prioritize a great night s sleep over carrying the lightest pack possible.
