    Full Description

    The Thermarest Z-Lite Sol is one of the lightest closed cell foam mat available. It features a reflective barrier layer on the base of the mat which reflects warmth back towards you when you sleep on it, thereby increasing the insulation of the mat by 20%. The Z-lite has always been popular with alpinists and mountaineers but now the extra insulation means that this is the perfect choice for fast-and-light ascents and super-alpine use.

    The Thermarest Z-Lite Sol uses Thermarest's unique folding eggbox design which ensures that it packs down to a fraction of the volume of a traditional roll mat, it also dramtically increases the warmth and comfort of the mat compared to other ultralight foam mats.

    Thermarest Z Lite SOL Features:

    • Travel Ultralight: Weighing less than a pound, this mattress goes anywhere easily
    • Packs Small: Accordion-style design packs lots of comfort into as small a space as possible
    • Exceptional Durability: Closed-cell foam is incredibly durable, providing an exceptional value and many years of worry-free performance

    Cracking pad! For a foamy this really is about the best there is! The nature of the design is such that you get a huge amount more warmth than you would from a cheap closed cell foam pad. Its lightweight and well priced too, which make it the perfect midway pad between a cheap closed cell, and a more expensive inflating pad. The only slight let down of this pad is the fact that it packs down into rather an awkward rectangle shape, which is a bit bulky. But in reality, unless your on a lot of rock and squeezing yourself up things, it shouldn't make much difference! Great buy!

    This is probably the best closed cell mattress there is. I originally had the normal Z-Lite but I was curious if there is any difference between that one and the new SOL Z Lite. And it was. The original egg-carton design was already very effective at trapping the air between the body and ground, but with the new reflective layer, it feels even warmer, and the weight difference is very insignificant. The only down side, as other people remarked, is the square shape in which one rolls the mattress. It makes it somehow bulkier than traditional closed cell mat's and in the same time, because of the thin backpack's straps, two traces remain in the foam for a while, until it expands back. This mattress is also very good in the winter season, combined with a NeoAir or with a ProLite, for enhanced comfort and more warmth.

    I love it! I have been using it for a week and it's much better than my old camping mats. The folding system is great and is much more comfy than any other mat I tried before. Obviously the inflatable ones can allow much more comfort, but this one is soft enough for me and trouble free: no risks of punctures. A mat for a lifetime.

    I was conflicted with this mat. It's much more comfy than your usual closed cell foam mat due to the egg box design, but at the same time, an ordinary foam mat is much easier to transport. I slept much better on this mat than I ever did on the flat ordinary mats, and I didn't feel as achey in the morning. I wouldn't be able to compare it with an inflatable mat though, as the difference is still pretty big. It really depends which is more important to you as to whether you should get this mat. I have a rucksack that actually can't accommodate this mat due to the straps being slightly too small, which is annoying to say the least, as I had never had problems before. The warmth is brilliant though, and if you used it in conjunction with an open cell mat you'd be ready for anything mother nature could throw at you.

    I bought the Z-lite from Facewest a few years ago, after getting tired off my inflatable mat (the hassle of rolling it up, taking it out on breaks, being sensitive to puncture and fire sparks, etc). The Z-lite has none of these downsides and gives you the optimal combination of weight, durability, comfort and no hassle use over all. The mat's pattern gives more comfort than a traditional closed cell foam mat, by miles. The way you fold it up eliminates curly ends that you typically suffer on traditional mats. As for downsides on this mat: none that I have identified. I bring mine on everything from picnics with the family to 3-season camping. In colder weather it stays home and I bring my Ridgerest Solar.

    Ok, I've only spent one night on my Thermarest Z Lite SOL. Actually it came just the evening Before the camp out with 3 other adults and 9 kids (7 years) in one big Tenttipi. I must say that the Z lite SOL was very warm. Must get back on the comfort since I was squeezed in between two kids and the side of the tent so I had to sleep like a banana, which is difficult if you sleep with the stomach down. But the weight of the product and the heat coming from is very promising for the coming nights.

    I bought this before going on a 5 day hike in off-trail in Sarek, Lappland, Sweden. Previously I've used self-inflating sleeping pads that are more comfy, but sensitive to water and flats, heavier and also significantly more cumbersome to roll-up/fold/un-fold. I find the Thermarest Z Lite SOL excellent! The square fold-up size makes it easy to strap-on to a backpack although it's quite bulky - but it's super light and durable, which makes it perfect to fold-up when taking a short break or cooking lunch. The reflective aluminium coating keeps you warm. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a cheap, light weight and durable sleeping pad.

    We bought this product to use during the summer months, but have not had the time to tried them out yet. We already had the seat pads in the same series, the Thermarest Z Seat and we have been very satisfied with them, so when it was time to order new sleeping pads there were no doubt about what kind we wanted. This sleeping pad is lightweight, and I really like the fact that ità "šÃ‚´s foldable. Ità "šÃ‚´s also a very good option when you have got a dog, because it does not break like a sleeping pad with air might do. The cons are the obvious, ità "šÃ‚´s quite bulky and ità "šÃ‚´s not as comfortable as a sleeping pad with air, but ità "šÃ‚´s comfy enough at this price point. As a conclusion, if youà "šÃ‚´re looking for a foam pad, look no further, this is it.

    I was fed up with sliding off the airmatress I bought to replace my multimat. This z lite sol is far better. It's thicker, comfier and warmer than my multimat. Doesn't curl up at the ends either. Also I like to use it as a seat outside whilst cooking. Only thing I can't comment on yet is how long it will last. Well worth it's price so far.
