4 Years Using the Same Sleeping Pad - My Long Term Review of the Thermarest Xtherm

I've used the thermarest neoair xtherm for the last 4 years in every season. I've used it in my tent, hammock, bivvi bag, straight on the forest floor and in my house. It's had some serious use and still performs the same as when I first bought it. The only one down side I can see is the cost but you get what you pay for and mine has paid for itself many times over.

I bought an original Thermarest in 1992. I still use it on all my camping trips, can't be faulted. 😁

@GrumpyGrunt 2 года назад

Good piece of kit, Hazey. Thanks for the long term on it. Stay well and have a great Christmas over there, mate.

Just recently purchased it but the regular, it’s an upgrade from my Oex self inflating mat which was my first mat so this is my second, can’t wait to get out and try it in my lanshan 2. All the best hazey 👍

I've got the same mat and its an absolute life saver winter hammock camping! I still use an under blanket but the two together are spot on 👍

Been using the regular wide version for a while after having the xlite.... totally agree with you and i cant get over how warm you stay with it. Expensive but worth every single penny

@sukondisawontym7460 2 года назад

Good stuff 🤠👍 I upgraded to large mats for the same reason. I didn't notice the elbow issue before cuz I'm a side sleeper. Ya don't see too many long term reviews. Thanks

I have my dad's old thermarest prolite I think he got it mid to late 90s still works so well

@HuskyMike 2 года назад

Agreed. Have had the same mat (except the regular size) for about 5 years. No issues. Great mat. I do wish I bought the wide version for the reason you stated.

@mattyp80 2 года назад

I have a newer version of the large which has their improved inflation valve (winglock)! This allows a one way inflation but also a way of controlled deflation whilst lying on it to get comfy! I also carry the newest version of the Flextail 4 in 1 mini pump which inflates it in well under a minute! Currently using it to sleep on the living room floor whilst self isolating for 10 days!

@beatbasher 2 года назад

I bought the regular wide rectangular xtherm, and bloody hell what a good mat it is. Can't beat it. I've also got the Xlite and both very good mats, that lifetime warranty making it worth paying the extra for.

Used it a lot this year but will be getting the xlite as the Xtherm is way to warm in the summer. Took it to Scotland in November and it is the dogs!

Manky......love it, ant heard that for ages 👍🏻

@affalaffaa 2 года назад

Had my one a few years as well and can't fault it. Done five multi day hikes with it, as well as many other nights and never had a puncture. Got the regular as mainly a side sleeper. Can't remember, or find what I paid for it but it's probably gone up a bit since then. Even at £200 I'd say it's worth it.

@copa1856 2 года назад

Thank you, these videos are really informative. I am trying to get my teenage son off his PS4 and I have signed him up to the DofE awards 🤭🙈 which starts in January. I am looking for tips to make the experience more enjoyable for him and we all know that comfort can make or break a weekend. We camp 3 times a year so he is used to camping, but just not at your level. I have stuck a poo trowel in his Christmas stocking this year, I am sure there is going to be a very confused face Christmas morning 🤣 Thanks again and keep the reviews coming 🍻

@BurtReynoldstash 2 года назад

Thermarest recently replaced my Neoair all season wide pad. They don’t make it anymore so sent me an xtherm max wide. Great you can buy and have full confidence that in the event of a warranty they’ll sort it without messing about.

@craig3401 2 года назад

You don't mind paying the large price for gear if it works and lasts.i went for the sea to summit either light xt I have used it in winter I'm a side sleeper so the extra depth is great but I agree with you I'd get the large next time as they all run narrow.will give this a serious look for my winter pad though cheers for the review.

@craig3401 2 года назад

Ok I bit the bullet and got 1 it arrived today so straight out the box I'm happy with it.i got the large I had the s2s either light xt reg so compared to that it's a lot wider and longer but not as thick but it's only 100g heavier.1st impression the valve isn't as good and feels more fragile also pumping up using the pump sack takes a lot longer.the r value is excellent and tbh it doesn't crinkle as bad as I thought it would do you definitely feel the heat bounce back so thanks hazy for the review

I have my new mat which is R rated at 7.8 and called the Exped Dura 8r 1,2kg. It is quite a weight but I'm old school (60 yrs old) Wild Camping since a kid)) and weight is not a thing for me. Oh boy so warm, you just feel the heat bouncing back to you and it seems much tougher than any Thermarest. I have purchased a Sea To Summit Aeros Premium Pillow Deluxe. Yes I know, being an old man with many a neck pain, just love my comfort! Most important for me on a Scottish or Lakeland hill or mountain in winter wild camping is a seriously good comfortable nights rest. Proper sleep makes you more alert during the day, and less likely to make a bad decision costing you an injury requiring rescue or worse death!

@MAKcraig 2 года назад

Found one on eBay £100 refurbished. Large wide. The seller had a few so keep an eye out. Absolute game changer this. My exped Matt made me cold many nights! This is toasty and made a massive difference to my sleep! Cheers haze for the review!

Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm Leaks out the WingLock Valve /// I got a new one and does the same! slow leak.. Test your Valve by using a bowl or pool or anything that you can get the Valve underwater, test closed and open and see if your mat does leak before you go on the trail.. I even pop the top off and i was surprised it does not seat down to the rubber gasket! This would be easy fix for them, they just need the inside of the cap to have the round plastic under the cap to set more into the Tube around the rubber seal..

@jamieedwards6721 2 года назад

I use a DD inflatable mat, it's bloody awful, thin and narrow so I get cold elbows and knees and the smallest stones dig in your hips but I only remember how much I detest the thing when I'm led on it so I've had it for 3 years 😂🙈

@DartmoorPaul 2 года назад

Cheers. But you’ve not made my decision any easier😂 I thought I’d get the XLite as dont go winter camping but when you mentioned early Spring late Autumn & durability, I have woken up with frost on the tent so……..maybe……xTherm???

Thermarest and Exped are by far the best mats on the market, I’m a bigger boy so ended up switching to Exped as just a bit more comfortable for me but can’t knock either.

linear baffles, horizontal or vertical, or a fail for me. Simply not as comfortable as quilted baffles.

@whatsnottohike 2 года назад

Not so much the cost for me (although i do think they're seriously overpriced) but the pack size is ridiculous! They should be able to do better than that imo.
