Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm MAX Sleeping Pad
Our Take
The clear favorite among RMI Expeditions' guides, the NeoAir XTherm MAX is our top choice for lightweight mountaineering pursuits. The unrivaled Triangular Core Matrix offers the best warmth-to-weight ratio of any air sleeping pad construction. The construction gives the 2.5 inch (6.4 cm) thick pad superior stability, boasting the most inches of weld for maximum camp comfort. The packable pad boasts a 6.9 R-value, allowing users to take it into the most extreme conditions. Featuring a high-performance WingLock valve, allowing the pad to inflate three times faster thanks to a larger opening and one-way inflation.
Like all Therm-a-Rest pads, the NeoAir XTherm MAX is made in market to ensure quality and minimize environmental impact. The pad includes a breath-saving pump sack, compact stuff sack and field repair kit.

My NeoAir XTherm is going on it's 3rd year with no issues, it's so warm I rarely bring a foam pad, it's 2.5 inches thick, and it rolls up tiny.
