Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol Foam Sleeping Pad – Regular 72 x 20 in, Blue/Silver | Lightweight, Reflective Warmth

Overview

The Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol Foam Sleeping Pad updates the iconic Z Lite with a reflective ThermaCapture coating that reflects radiant heat back toward you. This design is described as increasing overall warmth by about 20 percent, supported by an R-Value of 2.0 for insulation from the ground. It’s a simple, reliable option for seasoned campers and first-timers alike, providing a base of comfort without added bulk.

Comfort, warmth, and durability

The pad uses a soft top surface for comfortable contact, while a denser bottom layer adds insulation, durability, and protection from rocks and dirt. The proprietary closed-cell foam is lightweight and resilient, and heat-trapping dimples help retain warmth for a cozy night under the stars. Together, these features create a balanced sleeping surface that supports restful nights in a variety of conditions.

Foldable design for backcountry packing

Its accordion-style fold makes the Z Lite Sol highly packable. The Regular size measures 72 x 20 inches and weighs 14 ounces, while the Small version is 47 x 20 inches and weighs 10 ounces. When packed, both sizes fold to about 20 x 5 x 5.5 inches, making it easy to slip into a pack or base camp bag for quick trips or longer expeditions.

• Warmth features: ThermaCapture reflective coating and heat-trapping dimples with an R-Value of 2.0
