Reviewed by Garrison, Dec 23, 2007

"A good balance between weight, size and comfort. Inflates easily, rolls up easily, just thick enough that I don't feel the ground, but I'm only 63kg. Heavier guys might find it too thin, and not suitable to sub zero climates either.

Not giving it a full 5 stars cause:
1: the valve feels flimsy and spins freely when unscrewed."

"I love this tiny ground pad! I have the short version. This has all but replaced my original, full length therm-a-rest. In the summers I trip lead and live in my camping gear. When packing lots of gear for groups and dealing with kids' excessively large sleeping bags it is great to have small gear of my own."

"Lightweight, compact, and comfy!

This pad is tough too. My friend put a set of car keys under and we laid on the pad and didn't feel a thing. Worth the price and and easy to use/pack."

"A piece of equipment too many take for granted, a good sleeping pad can mean the difference from remembering a mountain as beautiful or just a piece of rock. All of Therm-A-Rest's pads are wonderful as long as you choose the right one for you. The ProLite 3 is no exception being durable, a well-thought design and comfortable."

"I used this pad on my 800 mile bike trip from Seattle to San Fransisco, and I liked it very much. It fit very well onto my bike, and was much lighter than the sleeping pads my peers carried. I loved that it was a full length pad, that was short enough to accomadate my 5'2" frame without the extra 6" for me to carry around."

"Awesome pad! Rolled up it's only a little bigger than a Nalgene bottle and unrolled it doesn’t leave your feet hanging over the edge. Don't think you're sacrificing much comfort with its minimal weight either."

"When this puppy is rolled up and ready to be stowed it's hard to believe it's a sleeping pad. This pad is what ultralight packing is all about. Very nice in the summer, but for colder weather go with the Prolite 4. I've had three Therm-A-Rest pads and they are all in great shape after years. Great products."
