Description

The ThinLight 3/8" Insulation Pad is a closed-cell foam sleeping pad made by Gossamer Gear. It has an average rating of 5 stars (out of 5), based on 1 user review.

Manufacturer's Description:
The ThinLight pad is not designed for padding, but for insulation. It provides much better insulation for the bottom of your body than the equivalent weight of down when you are lying on it.

Made of Evazote foam, these pads are made with a unique high pressure nitrogen gas solution process. What this means to you is the foam is amazingly light and strong for its density. The pads are tough, flexible and resilient, and exhibit good UV stability. As a closed-cell foam, they will not absorb water.

Use for hammock sleeping - great insulation, and it's stiff enough to stay put. For extreme ultralight or camping on soft ground, can be trimmed for a super minimal pad.

Weight: 5.3 - 5.7 oz (150 - 162 g)
Dimensions: 19.5 x 59 x 3/8 in (50 x 150 x .953 cm)
R-value: ~1.42
MSRP: $20

"My husband and I both carry the Gossamer Gear ThinLight 3/8" sleep pads and love them. Last year we hiked the Pacific Crest Trail for over five months. We used our sleep pads from the desert through the Sierras and on into Oregon and Washington. They worked great in all temperatures and during the spring, summer and fall."
