When exploring above the treeline, the warm, compact and light NeoAir XTherm Mat from Thermarest won’t let you down.
This mat gives you best in class warmth-to-weight ratio, providing a 6.9 R-value for insulation and a stable 6.4cm thick base that has an internal baffle structure for support as you sleep. It’s made from lightweight 30D rip HT Nylon and 70D Nylon with ThermaCapture™ technology and a Triangular Core Matrix™ construction, working together to trap radiant heat and prevent heat loss while reducing bulk. Inflate it easily with Thermarest’s high-performance WingLock valve, performing 3 times faster thanks to the one-way inflation and larger opening. To save you huffing and puffing, it also comes with a pump sack for inflation, a repair kit for patch-ups in the field, and a compact stuff sack for storage. Considerately made to minimise the impact on the environment and ensure longevity, this mat also comes in a range of sizes and packs up the size of a drink bottle to fit neatly in your pack.
On your alpine adventures, make sure you have an insulated and lightweight mat like the Thermarest NeoAir XTherm with you for a trusted sleep in the field.
Is this mat thick enough for side sleepers? 6.4cm seems a bit on the thin side these days
G'day Joe,
It's abit subjective & a lot of variables such as user size and weight and personal interpretation of comfort, but this particular mat is often featured in round-up articles across the web of best hiking mat options for side sleepers.
Based on that information & frequent recommendations, I'd say it would be ok.
I'm a side sleeper and personally have the S2S Etherlight which is 10cm and great, so if you are unsure that could be a potential alternative.
Otherwise, this is an awesome mat option by all reports!
