rated 5 of 5 stars Women's Trail Lite

"Took a long time to make a decision and this was it. Weight vs comfort. Needed to be carried on a bike, yet look after me at the most important point of the day - sleeping.

I love the product. I certainly am not light and it takes care of me well."

"Great product. I bought the women's Trail Lite because I found it on clearance and it has better warmth rating. I weigh 200 lbs and sleep on my side and cannot feel the ground with my hip. It is fairly lightweight (1 lb, 15 oz) and overall good pad. I do wish Therm-a-Rest would throw in a stuff sack with their products."

"Used on week-long canoe trip. Very comfortable. It packs very light and small but is long unless folded length-wise before rolling.

The self-inflation is noticeably weaker if it's been rolled up for more than a day, but that's hardly an issue since manual inflation takes only a minute and I prefer a firmer pad anyways."

"This is such a nice pad! It is cheaper than the Prolites and is all you could ever want. It has a fabric that is tough and prevents the sleeping bag from falling off the pad while you're sleeping. It doesn't self inflate, so that is a little annoying, has plenty of cushion.

Overall a great pad!"

"I've owned several Therm-A-Rest products over the years. I've also sacrificed a good night's sleep in the name of "ultralight. " However, a good night's sleep is priceless on a multi-day trek. The Therm-A-Rest Trail Lite is hands-down the best product they have made in years."
