Reflective, trail-tough warmth with Z Lite SOL Sleeping Pad
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The SOL version is my pick for shoulder season. The reflective layer noticeably warms things up without changing the simple, bombproof Z Lite vibe."
The Therm-a-Rest Z Lite SOL Sleeping Pad builds on the ultralight classic with a heat-reflective layer that helps hold warmth where we need it most.Same fast fold, same durable foam—just a touch warmer for early- and late-season backpacking, alpine bivies, and high-desert nights.

Love this pad
These pads are essential to my backpacking pack and are great for use an a bench/seat and sleeping pad. I also carry mine on every search for our Searcj and Rescue unit to have in case any subject is found and needs a soft barrier to help. The reflective side definitely helps to reflect body heat and keep you warm.

It’s warm, lightweight, soft and durable enough. The only downside is it’s a bit bulky.

Great for summer trips. Very light weight. I didn't notice a difference at all with it on my pack vs not. Keeps the ground from sucking out all of your body heat.

ok. so I absolutely detest creeping ground chill. So I dislike cold-wet. Tough. I also very much dislike punctures; VERY! I use this item between tent floor and my more expensive high R inflatable pad. Yes, I have to carry TWO pads, but I do not like The Cold. this item protects inflatable pad. Am a 119 lb, female, veteran of many Long Trails and bike backing. I do find a way and have carefully observed others, as I never, ever compromise on good sleep.

Need Wider Pad
Please make a 25x72 pad to accommodate people who use these under wider sleeping pads.

Z Lite SOL is worth the buy
The sleeping pad is an ideal base pad for putting a thermarest on top of. The Z Lite SOL sleeping pad is super light weight, provides insulation between the cold snow/ice at base camp and eliminates the feel of rocks and uneven ground through the thermarest. It's my go to set at base camp for mountain adventures.

Is this pad waterproof. If I carry it outside my backpack, can rain get into the pad? Thanks.
