Perks
When weight is an issue but you do not want to compromise comfort, the Z-Lite gives you an extra layer of padding without weighing down your pack. This closed-cell, lightweight pad is an excellent compliment to a self-inflating pad for additional padding.
Sacrifices
Not really the ideal sleeping pad for colder conditions or as comfortable as a self-inflating pad. It gives an extra layer of insulation to protect you from the ground so you do not feel rocks, but that is about all.
Bottom Line
Best used as a component of a full sleep system (sleeping bag, closed cell pad and self-inflating pad), the Thermarest Z-Lite closed-cell sleeping pad will add to your camping comfort and help keep your pack light in the process.
