Steve N's Review of Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite Sleeping Pad - Past Season

The xlite has always been a favorite among thru-hikers and lightweight backpackers alike. This newest iteration brings an updated valve which makes inflation and deflating significantly faster, especially when using the included pump sack. The only downside to this pad is it's still rather loud. The material sounds like you're rolling around on a bag of chips when shifting your weight around at night. Is this a deal breaker? Hardly. The sound is not too much louder than the noise of my nemo switchback. The package for me did not include a patch kit, so make sure you bring something for an emergency repair if necessary.
Pros:
  • Lightweight
  • high R value
  • 30d bottom fabric
  • Efficient inflation and deflation
Cons:
  • Loud crinkly noise when moving on pad
  • No patch kit included
Best Used for:
  • 3 season backpacking
  • thru hiking
Would Recommend: Yes
