The trekker chair kit is a relatively light and supportive supplement to your air mattress so you can lounge around camp at the end of a long day.

Thermarest neoair trekker review.

The trekker is the base model in the neoair series. According to the thermarest website and other sources. If you re looking for a do it all pad the therm a rest neoair venture is a great pick especially if you prioritize a great night s sleep over carrying the lightest pack possible. The therm a rest neoair xlite is ideal for those looking to shave ounces off their overnight kit without sacrificing too much comfort or warmth.

The pad utilizes the same internal baffle construction as other pads. It isn t the lightest pad in the review but it is one of the most comfortable. Add in the fact that it is one of the least expensive and you can understand why it won our best buy award. The elastic sleeve edges stretch to fit both neoair and self inflating pads.

The trekker is a more affordable descendant of the neoair which won our editors choice award in 2009. The padding within the alps pad as well as the width seemed more conducive to side sleepers. Trickle down technology comes to sleeping pads. It packs away in a small roll adapts to different sized pads and provides decent lower back support.

It s comfortable and lightweight. However comfort wise i would say i preferred the alps pad over the neo air trekker even though the alps pad is only listed as 1 5 of thickness from the ground compared to the neo air trekker s 2 5. The therm a rest neoair trekker sleeping pad is now 50 warmer than the previous version pushing its comfort range well into spring and fall backpacking trips. 150 150 reviews with an average rating of 4 25 out of 5 stars.

Its rectangular shape gave our side sleeping testers more room to roll around than the mummy shaped neoair xtherm it has an impressive r value of 4 9 but weighs more than our editors choice award winner. Unlike the all season xlite and xtherm its internal baffles are made of nylon not reflective foil material. The therm a rest neoair all season sv is a warm and comfortable pad. The biggest drawback to this product is the price.

The 2 5 inch thick trekker delivers the same plush comfort in a light and compressible package but costs 50 less. The trekker is designed for summer backpacking and general camping use. This isn t obvious.
