Therm-a-Rest ProLite Plus Video

Getting a good night’s sleep in the backcountry can make the difference between completing your trip and going home early. To ensure that you get good night’s sleep, it is imperative that you select the right Therm-a-Rest for your needs. When selecting a Therm-a-Rest you have choice from the smallest and lightest pads on the market to the thickest and most comfortable. Where do you fall? Well, the first question that I would ask yourself is; What’s most important to you, weight or comfort? If you said weight is most important to you, then the first place that we are going to stop in the Thermarest collection is in the Fast & Light Series. This series of pad was designed to give you the most amount of comfort at the least amount of weight. So if you are not cutting the handle off of your toothbrush or the tag off of your tea bag, if you are not counting every ounce, you may not need to sacrifice as much comfort for the weight savings of the ProLite. In that case I would direct you toward the ProLite Plus. This is also the choice for those fast and light users that are looking to camp in the wintertime because with an extra half inch of thickness not only is it more comfortable, but it is significantly warmer. Like the ProLite, the ProLite Plus is available in a variety of sizes, including a women’s specific model, to fit every user.
