Neoair Thermarest Xtherm Max

[fastfoxengineering]

So I got my coupon to rei and had a small dividend. I needed a new pad for when I sleep on the ground and decided to go all out.

I got a thermarest neoair xtherm max pad, size regular.

First and foremost, this thing is sweet.

It isn't loud and crinkly like others have said. I think they changed the material from the older ones. Also, the bottom fabric is a heavier, more durable nylon than on the x-lite.

Mine weighs 16.8oz on my kitchen scale.

I slept on it in my garage with a cheap synthetic 10* sleeping bag. Not gonna lie, having that high r-value kept me nice and warm.

This will be my go-to pad for all year camping. I hate being cold and I think this fits the bill.

Also, it's super comfy.

Anyone else have an xtherm they use year round?

Just picked one up in Long (also have a Regular NeoAir). Looking forward to going from an R value of 2.5 to 5.7, and the extra 5" in either direction. I think the 9 oz weight penalty will be worth it (base weight 8-15 lbs depending on my trip/time of year).
