Thermarest
ProLite 4
Well worth the investment

A good night of rest
is crucial to all outdoor enthusiasts as it can mean the difference
of having a mediocre experience or an awesome adventure. I dislike
the feeling of being overtired from tossing and turning all night
long because I am cold or I can feel the bumps in the ground beneath
my shelter.
The Thermarest ProLite
4 sleeping pad is a 4-season, self-inflating design with a 3.2R
value. For those of you who already own a previous Thermarest
model you will be happy to know that this one is twenty-five percent
lighter, more compact and has a no slip bottom. The regular size
ProLite 4 weighs 680 grams (1 lb 8 oz) and is tapered at the foot.
It measures 51 cm x 183 cm x 4 cm (20" x 72" x 1.5").
I tested the ProLite4
in late winter and had the chance to try it in varying conditions
ranging from bitterly cold nights to extremely damp weather. The
Prolite 4 handled every condition with ease leaving me warm, rested
and happy. I look forward to using this pad over and over again.
Definitely give the
ProLite 4 a second look; it is well worth the small investment.
