Therm A Rest Neoair Trekker Sleeping Pad Review

It isn t the lightest pad in the review but it is one of the most comfortable.

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 trekker weighs 17 oz. The therm a rest neoair all season sv is a warm and comfortable pad.

481 g and has the dimensions 72 x 20 x 2 5 in. The trekker is a more affordable descendant of the neoair which won our editors choice award in 2009. Trickle down technology comes to sleeping pads. 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.

As with any inflatable sleeping pad the maximum r value occurs when the pad is fully inflated. It has an impressive r value of 4 9 but weighs more than our editors choice award winner. The xlite was like sleeping on a potato chip bag it was that noisy. 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.

Our analysis and test results. The review to follow is our account of the older neoair venture. 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.

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. Therm a rest neoair trekker sleeping pad review. Therm a rest discontinued the neoair all season sv pad as of march 2020. I tried the therm a rest xlite pad before settling on this one.

Now to the review. With a stated r value of 3 2 therm a rest claims that the xlite should be comfortable down to about 20 degrees f. Its rectangular shape combined with three inches of cushion make it a fantastic choice for those that value comfort over weight savings. The trekker has an r value of 3 and costs 129 95.

Feedback from our various reviewers backs up this claim.
