Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm Camping and Backpacking Sleeping Pad

Product Information

While the R-value of the XTherm NXT increased from 6.9 to 7.3, again, that’s not a good enough reason in my opinion to upgrade to the XTherm NXT if you already own an older XTherm. Anything over an R-value of 6 is already going to be overkill in terms of insulation performance in winter in the lower 48. To be honest, I suspect the R-value increase in the XTherm NXT is tied to the increase in pad height, rather than being a deliberate improvement. The increase in air volume probably makes the pad warmer. Quieter Pros: The Xtherm has the highest R-value to weight ratio in the world. This means that you cannot find a sleeping pad that is as warm as and weighs as little as the Xtherm.

Durable: 70D Nylon fabric bottom resists punctures and delivers a pad that can be confidently and extensively used in the rugged hills and mountains. The NeoAir XTherm NXT is available in sizes:Regular, Regular Wide, Large, MAX Regular Wide and MAX Large Best Warmth-to-Weight Ratio Ever: Refined Triangular Core Matrix construction and ThermaCapture technology deliver a cold-conquering 7.3 R-Value while cutting over 1 oz (28 g) in weight from the previous model.

Sleep comfort is SO important while you’re putting yourself through an extended hike. If you’re not sleeping well, you probably won’t hike well. And your sleeping pad is one of the biggest parts of your sleeping experience, so it’s important to get it right and choose wisely. Sleeping Pad Reliability and Durability: We will keep customer information safe and secure and will not distribute or sell this information to a third party. You can now directly compare the R-value of mats rated using the ASTM F3340-18 with confidence that is a fair and accurate comparison between mats. In simple terms, the higher the R-value, the warmer the mat. The fabric: While the Xlite is made out of 30D rip HT Nylon, the Xtherm is made out of 30D rip HT Nylon on the top and 70D nylon. The 70D nylon makes the difference in both weight and R-Value capacity, making the Xtherm the best 4-season sleeping pad on the market. Thermarest Xtherm Weight Efficiency:

The Xlite has always been seen as an incredibly efficient sleeping pad at 12 ounces (R) with a 3.2 R-Value. But the Thermarest Neoair Xtherm has taken the evolution of sleeping pads to the next step. weighing just 15 ounces and boasting an impressive 6.9 R-Value. Thermarest Sleeping Pad Comfort: When comparing the Neoair Xlite vs Xtherm in size terms there are a few differences. The Xlite comes in Small, Regular, and Large. While the Xtherm only comes in Regular and Large. However, this actually makes sense for a winter product and you’ll more than likely want to opt for this Neoair Xtherm large if you’re cold weather camping.

Thermarest NeoAir XLite and XTherm Review - “Increased the comfort and thermal qualities making this the perfect option for lightweight wild-camping” It took sleeping in the snow-covered San Juansfor a week for me to realize that your sleep system isn’t just about your sleeping bag. It’s called a “system” for a reason. I carried a 0-degree quilt and a very well-loved Thermarest Z-lite Sol for the duration of the Colorado Trail. Important things to take into consideration: Any time you’re sleeping on an inflatable air mattress, it’s really important to adjust the air volume to adapt to the expected air temperature. Meaning that when it’s cold outside, the air in your mattress will compress. And when it’s warm, it’ll inflate. The NeoAir XLiteNXTis available in sizes:Regular Short, Regular, Regular Wide, Large, MAX Regular Wide and MAX Large

This mat has a R-Value of 5.7 which in real terms relates to true 4 season performance, so it is perfectly suitable for use on snow or frozen ground. R-Values are an international standard of insulation and (in simple terms) indicate the materials ability to reduce heat flow through conduction, radiation or convection. Therefore the higher the R-Value, the lower the heat transfer and the greater the insulation properties of the material. Please note that inflatables such as sleeping mats are not considered as faulty if they become punctured during use and are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty in this event. Best Warmth-to-Weight Ratio Ever: Refined Triangular Core Matrix construction and ThermaCapture technology deliver a cold-conquering 7. R-Value while cutting over 2 oz (57 g) in weight from the previous model. Part of the reason it took me so long (2 years) to allow myself to go with an inflatable sleeping pad is because I’m always terrified I’ll puncture it and end up sleeping on the ground for an extended period of time. So far, the Thermarest NeoAir Xtherm has not disappointed in terms of reliability and durability. The 70D Nylon is particularly durable. An important part of this Neo Air Xtherm review is to actually consider your personal needs rather than jsut the specs of the prouct. Things to consider:

And Thermarest is known for having really terrific customer service, so at the very least, they’ll probably fix whatever problems you might encounter.The mat has an incredibly hight R-value of 7.3, this is a mat that can be used in arctic conditions, and weighs only 694 grams, truly impressive. MAX Coverage: Rectangular shape with extra width provides added coverage and enhanced comfort at camp (XTherm NXT MAX only)
