Comments about RidgeRest SOLite Sleep Pad:

The RidgeRest SOLite is a tried and true sleeping pad by Therm-a-Rest and will keep you warm and comfortable when it's time to visit the Land of Nod of an eve. It's a closed-cell foam pad which is a great low-tech option that requires no pumps, extended bouts of breathlessness or a PhD in mattressology. We've taken ours to the Back of Bourke (see if you can find where that is!) and, well, back- and we loved it.

STRENGTHS
First and foremost- it works. The manufacturer claims the surface to have been aluminized to further increase heat reflection and have little valleys that act to trap heat. We can't comment much on what the boffins in the lab have done: We can tell you it is warm to sleep on. You can thank your lucky stars that you will not spend a single sleep-deprived night on a deflating pad the SOLite . This USA-made beauty is durable as heck. On the outside of a pack, it's world versus pad and it's world (0), pad (1)- certainly not something you expect from most foam pads let alone inflating ones. We've even had this on snow. The result? It didn't even get wet- nice! At 400g, it also ways virtually nothing and you honestly cannot even notice it's silent presence. Oh, and it will set you back a pittance – ranging from $20-40 USD.

WEAKNESSES
The RidgeRest SOLite is not without compromise. It's bulky. Bulk is much easier to deal with than, especially when it can be just strapped on the outside. But, I came up with an even better solution: Use it as a half pad! Crazy, right? Not really, most of your heat is lost through areas of high blood flow and in most seasons, you only need something under your torso. It goes further than this though- if you know it's going to get really cold, just bring the other half, it folds up just as well as before you cut it in half.

BOTTOM LINE
A warm, lightweight pad that is virtually indestructible and won't break the bank. The set-back? A little bulky.

Comments about RidgeRest SOLite Sleep Pad:

Great Product I was very warm and comfortable. The reflective material works and kept me very insulated in about 35 degree weather. I got a 3/4 length and found it adequate if I use my pack at my feet to keep my feet from hanging off. I found it also very comfortable compared to my inflatable thermarest.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
