Therm-a-Rest Trail Scout

Summary

Affordable sleeping pad, it rolls up very small and is very light. This guy will keep you warm and cozy!

This sleeping pad is very comfortable, very easy to use (just unroll it and give it time then add a breath or two and voila!).

I put the durable feeling as a con, however I have to say I have had zero issue with the durability of this sleeping pad. I had a dog sleeping on it and walking on it with her nails and no issues. Also duct tape would adhere well and serve as a quality temporary patch if need be.

This is a low end Therm-A-Rest, but it definitely does the job without breaking the bank. It will keep you elevated and warm without adding a lot weight to your system.

Summary

Great value.

I researched sleeping pads for months, and settled on the Trail Scout in the medium size. I am a side sleeper, so in my side sleeping position, the length is perfect.

I am pleased with the packed size, and the sleeping area, the thickness could be more, but this pad is very comfortable at 1 1/4".

I decided on a self inflate because of altitude concerns, and the lack of air. I will be using this on an upcoming elk hunt where we will be camping at over 10,000 feet. I experienced some altitude sickness the last time I was there, so inflating an air mattress is the last thing I want to do after driving for 27 hours straight, hiking, and setting up camp.

I have slept on this pad and am impressed by its comfort.
