    It no longer has an R-Value of 2.6, it's now sold as 2.0. I don't think that the mat actually changed, but the testing methodology was updated.

      They are measured using the ASTM industry standard now. That's Authentic (measured via independent, not in house), not marketing rating. ;) ONLY the ASTM ratings should be considered to trust your life on. Even then, test your equipment by your house or car camping in the most extreme, slightly lower than you ever plan to sleep miles in the woods with. You want some "wiggle room" in the event a cold front rolls in uncounted for, or it could be a long miserable cold survival night, or a long night hike out back to the car. :D
      Don't plan in sleeping on this by itself other than cool summer nights. A cool spring or fall night will be painful. Think at least 5 R for 0F. 6 R for 10 -20 below. etc. Add one of these under a 3 or 4 R 3 season pad to get a good winter rating though! :)

    Great review as always! I could never go back to this pad after sleeping on the Big Agnes Q-core.

    I don't know why this video has the most views since it's obvious you're just selling it and it's in brand new condition. Good quality video, but I will take unbiased user reviews anyday.

    i don't want to sound ignorant, but is it waterproof?

    • @Enwild
      @Enwild  6 лет назад +6

      This is a classic closed-cell foam construction, so it is waterproof and won't absorb dew or rain. Thanks for watching! And check us our other deals and gear knowledge at www.backcountryedge.com/

    are these thermarest pads better than the no brand foam pads? if yes why?

    I wonder if you can even glue this to a thick yoga mat and make a light weight5inch mattress

  • @Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism
    @Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism 2 года назад +1

    I don't understand why they think everyone is a little girl though. Some of us need a 35" wide pad. 30" to us is "narrow". Fools. Only making stuff for little girls and small guys. We're not all thru-hikers! The VAST majority can carry and extra pound of comfort, for a weekend backpacking trip. Damn these thin, skinny, sore hip pads! hahaha. Keep making them for those ultra light guys who live on trails sure, but offer some options for big people just camping for a day or two also, just real size people too dammit!

    Help me! What is the difference between Therm-a-rest Z-lite Sol and Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite?
    Only thermal insulation, or even comfort and space? I would use it only in the summer and considering the price difference, I would opt for the classic Therm-a-Rest...

    • @Enwild
      @Enwild  6 лет назад +1

      Hi Lara,
      The Z-lite Sol has a reflective coating on one side, which is designed as a barrier to help retain heat (and reflect cold from the ground away from you). It's a slightly warmer pad (2.6 R-value vs 2.2 in the regular Z-Lite), but for summer camping, you would be fine on the regular Z-lite. We do carry a small size Z-lite Sol, in case you're looking to save weight and the smaller size fits you.
      Check the specs on our website to compare:

    What do you recommend for a Side sleeper?

    • @Enwild
      @Enwild  5 лет назад

      Hey, good question! This pad is pretty wide, so it should be better for side sleepers: www.backcountryedge.com/therm-a-rest-neoair-xlite-max.html?.com&WgGv1_C4
      Feel free to call us for more suggestions!

      I always dig a little depression for my hips. No matter what the pad is. Really helps!

  • @jeanm9654

    Umm, does the silver go on the top or bottom? In the inserted demo, the silver goes on the bottom, the demonstrator is displaying it with the silver on top.

    • @Enwild
      @Enwild  6 лет назад +2

      Thanks for the question! You can use it either way. The silver side reflects your body heat back to you, so on colder nights, we'd suggest sleeping with the silver side up. If you are camping in warmer temps, flip it around the other way and the yellow side wont be quite as warm.

    What temps are these generally good till?

    • @Enwild
      @Enwild  6 лет назад

      Thanks for the question. The R Value is 2.6 so it's for summer use. They are great, though, for pairing with another inflatable pad in the winter to bolster the R Value of another pad.

    Is this better to sleep on than a yoga mat?

    • @Mikey-ym6ok
      @Mikey-ym6ok 6 лет назад

      leChefski yoga mats are.paper thin almost. I'd say this is much better than a yoga mat

    Is that comfortable to sleep on it?

    • @Enwild
      @Enwild  9 лет назад +4

      Averboukh Evgeny Given the weight, it's surprisingly comfortable. However, if you tend to sleep on your sides...it may not be the pad for you. It's more tailored for back or stomach sleepers. Thanks for watching!

      Backcountry Edge Hy. I sleep on the side and i sleep like a baby without pain. So sidesleepers dont wory just buy it and run to the mountains. Jesus bless you.

    • @claverhouse1
      @claverhouse1 4 года назад

      Your listening comprehension sucks, big time. She is saying that if you have a pad you like to use in the summer which does not have a good enough R rating for colder weather, pair it with the Z Lite in the winter and you increase the insulation value..

  • @radialorbits

    serious question. does this leave corrugations on your ass when you sit on it?

    • @Enwild
      @Enwild  4 года назад

      Never tested it out, but likely the answer is yes.
