Review: Thermarest NeoAir Uberlite

One thing I love about bikepacking is how light a setup you can get without sacrificing comfort. I have used a Thermarest Neo Air X-Therm  for the last decade and love it. But in the summer/fall here in the desert it is more than I need. since for 20 years prior to the X-Therm I used a Thermarest Ultralight pad I figured I’d just get the newest thing they offered, the Neoair Uberlite.

As the absolute lightest insulated air sleeping pad available, the NeoAir UberLite is the top choice for thru hikers and ounce counters, setting new standard for ultralight comfort for a handful of ounces. The unrivaled Triangular Core Matrix offers the best warmth-to-weight ratio of any air sleeping pad construction, creating a 2.3 R-value for a featherweight. The construction gives the 2.5 inch (6.4 cm) thick pad superior stability, boasting the most inches of weld for maximum camp comfort. The ultralight sleeping pad features the high-performance WingLock valve, allowing the pad to inflate three times faster thanks to a larger opening and one-way inflation. Like all Therm-a-Rest pads, the NeoAir UberLite is made in market to ensure quality and minimize environmental impact. The pad includes a breath-saving pump sack, compact stuff sack and field repair kit.
