Sleeping Mat News

9cm thick core and oversized 11cm thick baffles
Keeps you wedged in the middle of the pad, my xtherm was the mummy shape,

All personal preference, I wouldn't change for the sake of it like I did

My wife and I both use XLites; hers looks like new, mine ... doesn't.

I don't keep my stuff long enough I'm also a clean freak, so have incredibly high standards, which is why I most buy new, and most peoples good condition is

OCD backpackers: Mincing round muddy bits since the Millennium
Sleeping pads don't last long enough to worry about keeping them pristine.

Just back from my Spain bikepacking trip and my Uberlite mattress has bitten the dust (baffles blown again).

I’m going to return it - given that it’s my third one, I am hoping that TR do offer to replace with the Xlite because I can’t be bothered keep sending them back……

Update, just received my replacement Xlite NXT from Thermarest

Great customer service, as usual.

Only problem is the 110g weight penalty, but I do think that the Uberlite may be an example of a product being slightly too light and delicate for it’s intended use…..

Came across the Hybridcore mat by Robens which seems to be new for 2024. Does anybody have experience with it?

Not too lightweight, but couldn't find a similar R-value for the price. No pump bag included, I reckon? Do they have the same valves as Exped Ultra mats?

Same weight as my exped dura 6 downmat and that's got like 100d top and 200d bottom or something nuts

Result! Did you request the Xlite or did they just send it instead?

Yes, and 2-3 times the price.
