From RockCreek:
"The Therm-A-Rest ProLite 4 is the lightest, most compressible four-season self-inflating mattress ever. This lightweight mattress is perfect for mountaineering, winter camping, backpacking and multi-day adventures. It is thick enough to use year round, making it a great choice for winter campers that don't want to carry a huge sleeping pad with them. The tapered and ergonomic design rolls up to the size of a bread loaf for easy carrying. Innovative materials and a new shape reduce overall weight by 25%. The super-grip bottom is made to "stick" to tent floor surfaces, so the pad will stay in place all night long."

"This pad is great. I don't do any winter camping, but Alberta/BC nights can get chilly in the mountains, and I sleep cold, so I went with the 4 over the 3. I figure the extra r-value and thickness seem worth the small extra weight. I usually put 2 breaths into it for a full inflation."

"I bought this pad and I am very pleased with it. It inflates well but sometimes needs a little assistance. The pack size is small to conserve pack space. The 4 long bag is a bit big and I could have gotten by with a 4 regular to conserve more space. I've slept over roots and rocks not even knowing they were there. It is worth the money."

"Excellent sleeping pad. I am about as picky a consumer as you can get. During my last trip, in 35 degrees, rain poured all night long. I actually awoke in the morning to find my aluminum dinner dish FLOATING across the entrance of my tent -sigh-."

"This is the best pad I have ever used. I went hiking using a 40 degree rated bag in 35 degree weather and I was still warm on my backside. It prevented the heat from going through the ground. Even though it fit me perfectly (I'm 6'4"), it packed very small and light in my pack."

"The ProLite 4 is by far the very best sleeping pad. Designed for comfort, warmth and very small pack size. The Therm-a-rest excels in all areas. Worth every penny!!!"

"I've owned and worn out three Therm-a-rest inflatables so far, since the very first ones came out.

This ProLite 4 is by far the most comfortable of them. I sleep very cold, so I really appreciate the higher R value -- higher than the lighter Therm-a-rests that I've previously owned."

"The latest Therm-A-Rest is actually light years ahead and worlds apart from the hype you might see from other gear manufacturers. As someone that has owned practically every Therm-A-Rest product, I have had the pleasure of using the ProLite 4 in extreme conditions and while I can never find it in my soul to give away my older TAR products (might need them for sudden guests) I can’t imagine a better and lighter sleeping pad then this."

"Taper at bottom saves space and weight and fits in smaller tents that narrow at the foot. Great comfort. More comfortable than previous ultralight series."
