STAFF PICK: Therm-A-Rest XLite Sleeping Pad
I used the same NeoAir XLite Sleeping Pad on three different five-month backpacking trips and even after all this use, it is still my go-to sleeping pad for backpacking. Its durability is unrivaled amongst inflatable sleeping pads; I have used it on sand, gravel, roots, rocks, and snow, often without a tent between me and the ground, and have never had to deal with punctures or loss of air pressure overnight. The 4.2 R-value insulation allows for year-round camping, and even as a side sleeper, the 2.5-inch thickness is more than enough to sink into for a good night’s sleep. This sleeping pad is perfect for anyone looking for a single pad to do it all: comfortable enough for car camping but light enough for backpacking, warm enough for cold nights, and durable enough to last.
