Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite NXT Ultralight Sleeping Pad – Regular Wide, Solar Flare | 4-Season, 4.5 R-Value

Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite NXT Solar Flare Regular Wide: Ultralight Sleep Pad for Backcountry Adventures

The NeoAir XLite NXT is Therm-a-Rest’s answer to ultralight backcountry sleep with year‑round versatility. In the Solar Flare color, this pad blends featherweight design with dependable warmth, built on the Triangular Core Matrix to minimize noise and maximize loft. At 3 inches of thickness and a horizontal baffling system, you gain a stable sleep surface that cushions uneven ground without adding excess weight. In Regular size, it weighs just 13 ounces, and folds down to the size of a standard 1-liter bottle for easy packing. The Regular Wide option adds surface area for side sleepers or taller hikers, while keeping a compact footprint that packs down neatly.

Warmth is a standout feature: Reflective ThermaCapture helps trap radiant heat, while the Triangular Core Matrix reduces convective heat loss to deliver a 4.5 R-value suitable for a broad range of conditions. The WingLock valve makes inflation smooth and efficient, with rapid deflation for quick stops between climbs and camps. The pad’s PFAS-free DWR-coated stuff sack protects your gear from moisture and aligns with eco-conscious packing practices. This pad is USA-built with a careful blend of US and global materials to balance durability and performance.
