Therm-a-Rest NeoAir UberLite Ultralight Backpacking Sleeping Pad, Regular - 20 x 72 Inches, Orion

まだ登山、キャンプに行っていないので未使用、使うのを楽しみにしています。

It's the same size as a standard soda can . MSR is one of the most recognized brands in the out door industry so always on the forefront of innovation .

After a hiatus that lasted well over a decade, I decided to get back into backpacking this past summer. I took a couple trips over the summer using an old Therm-a-Rest mattress I bought probably 20 years ago or so. Unfortunately it wouldn’t hold the air in, a leak somewhere obviously, and by the time I woke up in the morning it would be flat again. I couldn’t locate the leak so I determined it needed to be replaced. But it had served me well for many years and miles, so going back to Therm-a-Rest for a replacement was a no brainer.I’d always been a stickler for counting ounces in the backpack so I wanted something light and compact. The NeoAir Uberlight delivers on both fronts. I was surprised at how small the box it came in was. I unrolled it and blew it up by mouth (I’m really kind of puzzled by the pump sack concept — extra bulk and weight when blowing directly into the mattress is just as easy) which took about a minute. It’s comfortable to lie on and if you prefer a softer mattress you can just let a little air out using the wing valve. I should also note it includes a repair kit should a leak occur due to puncture.I bought it for fair weather use given its relatively low R value, but I don’t have any plans for cold season camping at this point so it will see use next summer at the earliest. I will return to this review to update after some field use. For now my initial impressions are positive and I’m happy with the purchase.UPDATE 8/03/21: I finally had the opportunity to use this mattress on a seven day a solo hike of the West Coast Trail last month, and I have to say I’m exceptionally pleased with its performance. It takes up remarkably little room in the pack and is super easy to inflate by mouth (I leave the pump sack at home — more trouble than it’s worth). I found it very comfortable for both back and side sleep. I’ve seen some negative reviewers elsewhere on the web complain about how the mattress is slippery and noisy. I was just using a basic Western Mountaineering +1C Flylite bag (no other blankets or materials between me and the mattress) and didn’t find myself slipping off the thing during the night. As to the noise, the material does I suppose make it noisy relative to other makes and models. But it didn’t bother me personally and it certainly didn’t annoy me during the night as I shifted positions. For those looking to cut weight and bulk from their pack, this mattress offers the ability to do both. Very happy with this product and would recommend.* Helpful votes always appreciated *

Love this pad but hate the sizing choices. My ideal pad would be 22-23 inches wide and 55-60 inches long.Sleeping bag companies figured out more than 20 years ago now that people don’t sleep like stiff straight logs. The stopped making super narrow mummy bags and started smart shaping them to give space for people to bend their knees, move their feet slightly apart, keep their arms folded up by their chests.Yet, these pads are still designed as if people still sleep like stiff straight logs and don’t have arms (or more specifically - elbows. Gasp!!!) Want to lay on your back and look at maps on your smart phone? Too bad for you, your elbows won’t fit!!! Want to roll over at night? Too bad for you, as you will fall off the pad unless you completely wake yourself up and use your hands to rebalance yourself on the balance beam of which a 20 inch wide pad is. Want to curl up on your side on a cold night in the jack knife position and have warm knees? Too bad for you because both knees won’t fit and at least one be freezing as it rests on the cold tent floor. Want to set up your tent on the last campsite available which is slightly sloped? Too bad for you because pad is so narrow you won’t be able balance in the middle of it due to the slope and you will roll off it repeatedly during the night.I’m also not sure why the comfort choices are full length or torso length. Why not knee length?? I personally don’t care if my feet hang off a pad but do want my knees on the pad - especially when side sleeping. Once your knees fall off a three inch high pad, your body goes akimbo. If your feet dangle off, no big deal. Plus, there’s generally something in your tent that can support dangling feet but not something big enough to support dangling knees, at least not comfortably. My ultralight backpack is too delicate to take the kind of abuse my knees would give it night after night.Per Cascadia Designs. Either you need to buy a giant pad built for giant men or you need to sleep really uncomfortable. A different size selection would be really beneficial.I’m 5’ 5” (65 inches) but to be comfortable in any of those scenarios I have to buy their gargantuan pad that is 2 feet too long just to a few extra inches in width. It’s silly.Back to the pad itself. I got the small. Great pad. I’ve had it for four weeks on the PCT. No leaks. Easy to blow up. Easy to pack up. Incredibly light. Quite comfortable aside from the sizing issues.(I do protect it by using a 1/8 inch foam pad beneath it. The foam pad not only protects it from punctures but also keeps it from sliding around my tent and adds a little bit of r value. I can also use the foam pad during the day as a full length sit pad.)

Die NeoAir xTreme nutze ich schon seit einigen Jahren für Wintertouren.Nun empfahl mir eine Freundin, die schon auf dem PCT, John Muir Trail, Apalachian Trail unterwegs war und die gesamte GTA gegangen ist, diese Isomatte.Und sie sollte Recht behalten!Das ding ist so unglaublich leicht und winzig zu verpacken, dass sie für Ultraleicht Trekking ein absolutes Muss ist.Aber nichts ist perfekt!Die Mankso bzw. Punkte die man berücksichtigen muss sind:- das aufpumpen der Matte mit dem Packsack ist etwas nervig aber es empfielt sich nicht die Isomatte komplett mit dem Mund aufzupusten da man so zu viel Atmefeuchtigkeit in die Matte einbringt. Das wäre auf Dauer nicht gut und kann bei Frost zur Delaminierung führen.- die Matte raschelt schon sehr stark wenn man darauf liegt bzw. sich bewegt. Das war mir bekannt da ich ja schon NeoAir Matratzen nutze. Aber ich kann damit swhr gut leben bzw. schlafen. Wer jedoch in dieser Hinsicht zu empfindlich ist, wird so einen schlechten schlaf finden.- Da die Matte nur wärmt solange Luft drin ist, ist sie nutzlos wenn sie undicht wird. Daher IMMER ein Flickset(liegt beim Kauf schon bei) mitnehmen und am besten auch so einen tollen "Lochschnüffler" wie man ihn beim Fahrradschlauch flicken benutzt. Der hilft aber nur wenn das Loch groß genug oder der Druck ist um einen enstprechenden Luftzug zu erzeugen. Daher bei der Lochsuche die Matte möglichst stark auspumpen und sich noch selbst auf die Matte knieen bzw setzen um den Druck zu erhöhen.Hilfreich ist es daher auf langen Trails zur Sciherheit noch eine ganz dünne (3-4 mm) Evazote Matte mitzunehmen.Wenn man diese Punkte berücksichtigt und sich dessen bewusst ist dann hat man eine hervorragende und sehr komfortable Isomatte mit kleinstem Gewicht und Packmaß.
