User Review: Therm-A-Rest ProLite 3

Therm-A-Rest ProLite 3
Above: The current ProLite 3, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $79

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.

- If you're considering this pad one could assume your first priority would be weight/size, and being the size of a short loaf of bread and only 20 oz it has never hindered me.

- On the comfort side of things this pad won't make you feel like you're on your space age material bed with silk sheets but it won't have you stirring around all night. I usally stuff the stuff sack made for it with extra clothes to use as a pillow.

- Lastly the design and durability of the product. The ProLite has a very obvious top and botom because the bottom is a coarse thicker material so it won't slide around under you as you try to find the right position. The valve is well molded into the edge of the pad and I have no fear of it leaking after two years of service.

You see lots of them on the trail for a reason.
