Product Description

The Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol Foam Camping mattress with reflective heat technology is a warmer spin on the classic Z Lite sleeping pad, trusted choice of campers, backpackers, and mountaineers. The Sol pad has all the features of the original, in addition to a reflective ThermaCapture coating that reflects radiant heat back on the body, increasing overall warmth of the pad by 20 percent (R-Value 2.0; R-value measures the material’s ability to insulate—the higher the R-value, the warmer the pad). Softer on the top for comfort, and denser on the bottom for insulation, durability, and protection from rocks and dirt, the proprietary closed-cell foam also features heat-trapping dimples that capture heat for a cozy night’s sleep. Folding accordion-style construction is compact and easily packable for base camp or transporting into the backcountry. The Thermarest Z Lite Sol Foam Sleeping Pad can be used by minimalists as a stand-alone pad, or doubled up with another ground pad or air mattress for an exceptionally good night’s sleep. Available in two sizes: Small measures 47x20 inches (20x4x5.5 inches, folded) and weighs 10 ounces; Regular measures 72x20 inches (20x5x5.5 inches, folded) and weighs 14 ounces. Manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty. Made in the USA.

Customers like the comfort of the sleeping mat. For example, they say it's relatively lightweight, incredibly comfortable, and provides just enough cushion to stretch on and even to sleep on. Some say it collapses in seconds.

Customers are satisfied with the warmth of the sleeping mat. They say it provides good insulation, holds in heat well, and does a great job of keeping them from freezing. The metallized surface does reflect body-heat, and the accordion fold eliminates the permanent roll. It adds a tone of warmth and really beafed up the r value.

104 customers mention57 positive47 negative

Customers are mixed about the size of the sleeping pad. Some mention that the size is small, suitable to put into the backpack, and is very light and compact. However, others say that it might be a little too big if you prefer having all your equipment inside your pack, and that the pad is thin and for them, very narrow. It does come at the cost of size, however, and some say that they like the product but it could stand to be slightly wider.

"...The Z Lite Sol sleeping pad is lightweight and compact, making it easy to pack and carry on backpacking trips...." Read more

"...I did trim some panels and corners off of mine as it does take up a fair amount of space in my backpack." Read more

"...Sure, it's easy to fold and compact, but this comes at a price. Those thinner areas really affect the insulation properties...." Read more

"...On the other hand this pad is thin and for me, very narrow. I am 6'2". More of a thin build at 185lbs...." Read more

This is a solid, reliably, super comfortable bargain. Love it

This is a solid, reliably, super comfortable bargain. Love it
I've used this mattress on several week-long backpacking trips in both the Appalachian mountains in Pennsylvania and the much more rugged Teton rocky mountain range in Jackson Wyoming. I've had it for the past few years and I haven't had one problem with it yet. Its relatively lightweight, incredibly comfortable, and it takes absolutely no time to pack unlike most other sleeping pads that you have to slowly roll and push the air out of. It helps you break down camp a little bit faster in the morning which is nice when you've got a long trek ahead of you and you want to get on the trail faster. Though I personally own both a small and a large, I usually use the small when I go hiking to cut down on the weight and size of my gear. If you get a small and you're older than 12 your feet will be sticking off the mattress, but it doesn't really make sleeping any less comfortable in my opinion. If it is to bad you can always stick some clothes under your legs to sleep on. Though a $600 dollar nano air mattress will fold up super small and might be a little bit comfier, this sleeping pad is a solid, reliable steal. It beats most 50-100$ pads out there and it comes in at only about $30. If you are just getting in to backpacking, are looking into getting a smaller, easier packing therm-a-rest than the one you have, or even if you just going car-camping, I highly recommend this product to you. If you do get it I would recommend strapping it at the bottom of your pack or under your pack's brain. I have seen people strap it to the front of their pack or to the sides as well, in the end it all comes down to how you have you things packed, what type of pack you have, and personal preference.
Thank you for your feedback
