Therm-a-Rest Z Lite SOL foam sleeping pad - Regular

The Therm-a-Rest Z Lite SOL is a foam mattress that is part of the Fast & Light product line made by the American brand. In other words, it is both quick to set up and easy to transport. Its accordion folding prevents you from having to inflate it, deflate it, fold it and store it in the backpack. A saving of time and energy which will always be appreciated after a day of exerting yourself.

If you like things ultra-light, then you will be satisfied. The Z Lite SOL foam mattress weighs only 410 g. It will not weigh down your backpack. Slightly more cumbersome than an inflatable mattress, you can hang it on the straps of your bag to optimise the space inside it. Ultimately, it is light and compact. Perfect for hiking.

Let's come to the main function of a mattress: comfort. 2 cm thick, the closed cell foam provides long-lasting comfort. Its small thickness should not be a stopping point. All Therm-A-Rest mattresses are designed to be used without a groundsheet. Even though, of course, a groundsheet will help extend the life of your mattress even further.

In addition, the Z Lite SOL offers an R-Value of 2.0. It is therefore designed for use in hot weather. But you can also use it as a groundsheet, in cold weather, in addition to an inflatable mattress. It will add an R-Value of 2.0 to your mattress and protect it from abrasion in contact with the ground. The ThermaCapture™ surface of this mattress reflects heat back from your body, increasing total heat by approximately 15%.

All these characteristics make this Therm-a-Rest foam mattress a benchmark in the outdoors. The Z Lite SOL has won numerous awards, including the 'Best Buy 2020', awarded by OutdoorGearLab.
