Perks
Designed for added insulation in extreme conditions, the Prolite 4 sleeping pad packs compactly, is lightweight and, of course, offers excellent insulation. It is comfortable, and even more so when used in conjunction with an additional foam pad.
Sacrifices
The pad will self-inflate if left to its own devices for an extended period of time. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you're not going to have to blow it up some for maximum comfort, however. Be sure to tighten the valve completely to avoid loss of air during sleep.
Bottom Line
The Thermarest Prolite 4 is the lightest weight four-season sleeping pad on the market in 2009 . It is easy to inflate and comfortable, packs down for easy transport and will be a staple in your gear closet for years.
