Thermarest Neoair Trekker Review

Our popular trekker chair uses ultralight nylon and fiberglass poles to pack small and creates a comfy place to rest and recover after a long day of hiking.

Thermarest neoair trekker review. Unlike the all season xlite and xtherm its internal baffles are made of nylon not reflective foil material. The trekker chair kit is a relatively light and supportive supplement to your air mattress so you can lounge around camp at the end of a long day. It s comfortable and lightweight. The 2 5 inch thick trekker delivers the same plush comfort in a light and compressible package but costs 50 less.

The pad utilizes the same internal baffle construction as other pads. The trekker is a more affordable descendant of the neoair which won our editors choice award in 2009. 150 150 reviews with an average rating of 4 25 out of 5 stars. The trekker is the base model in the neoair series.

The biggest drawback to this product is the price. It isn t the lightest pad in the review but it is one of the most comfortable. Its rectangular shape gave our side sleeping testers more room to roll around than the mummy shaped neoair xtherm it has an impressive r value of 4 9 but weighs more than our editors choice award winner. The therm a rest neoair all season sv is a warm and comfortable pad.

The therm a rest neoair xlite is ideal for those looking to shave ounces off their overnight kit without sacrificing too much comfort or warmth. It packs away in a small roll adapts to different sized pads and provides decent lower back support. However comfort wise i would say i preferred the alps pad over the neo air trekker even though the alps pad is only listed as 1 5 of thickness from the ground compared to the neo air trekker s 2 5.

The elastic sleeve edges stretch to fit both neoair and self inflating pads. The padding within the alps pad as well as the width seemed more conducive to side sleepers. If you re looking for a do it all pad the therm a rest neoair venture is a great pick especially if you prioritize a great night s sleep over carrying the lightest pack possible. The therm a rest neoair trekker sleeping pad is now 50 warmer than the previous version pushing its comfort range well into spring and fall backpacking trips.

Trickle down technology comes to sleeping pads. After years of gear testing it s rare that we get excited about new gear updates but after learning of therm a rest finally pulling the trigger on updating their valve system we got pretty excited. According to the thermarest website and other sources.
