好きなユーチューバーの方が、使用しています。かさばりますがオートソロキャンプなので問題ありません。腰痛持ちの私でも、爆睡できました。価格も手頃ですね。おすすめです!

The Therma-a-Rest RidgeRest has been a staple for backpackers and campers for decades. There are no moving parts, no inflation needed. It is very durable, very lightweight, easy to roll up and I just tie it up with a bit of twine or paracord, and usually attach it to the bottom of my backpack. I had one for years and years, and the material never wears out. I happened to lose it eventually, so I replaced it with the exact same model. It provides just enough padding and insulation to make for a more comfortable night's sleep against the little bumps of rocks and twigs and bumpy cool earth under your sleeping bag. Granted it's not rated for sub-zero Mount Everest type of snow camping, but for that type of camping, you know what you need. I've used the self-inflating type of sleeping pads, but they are cumbersome to pack, and I prefer the simplicity of this firm corrugated foam style that I can just roll up, tie up, and which is essentially indestructible, and lower cost than anything else.

It's the perfect size and price. I paid $40 and got the big one. It rolls up and fits perfectly on my handel bars on my bikepacking rig. I also use it as a base paid for my air paid. The only thing I don't like is the bulkiness. But all foam pads are bulky.

Je ne m'attendais pas à une telle sensation de moelleux. C'est sur que ce n'est pas un matelas mais on à vraiment de quoi ressentir le molletonné. Très bien pour le prix. Maintenant c'est certain qu'il prend un peu de place.

I purchased this product as a sleeping mat for my dog on a deep winter backpacking trip. I only used half the mat for that. I ended up replacing the back/ sit pad of my Gossamer Gear Meraposa pack with a section of this pad that I folded in half. That turned out to one of the best last minute decisions I've ever made. It was light weight and comfortable as a backpack pad. I slipped it under my Thermarest X-Therm sleeping pad for extra R-Value and puncture insurance while sleeping at night. Most importantly, it was a fantastic sit pad that kept my body warm and comfortable sitting or kneeling on snow, ice, frozen rock, whatever. Sometimes I would sit on my X-Therm and put my feet on the RidgeRest to keep them warm or stand on it while changing cloths. I guess that torso sized section could have served as an emergency sleeping pad if my X-Therm broke in the night. It would probably be a suck night, but I'd live. My dog was happy with it as a sleeping pad too. It's surprisingly warm for as thin as it is.

The advantages of this style of pad are that it is indestructible, waterproof, light weight and it is inexpensive.The disadvantages of this type of pad are: one, it does not pack down and will need to be lashed to your pack. Two, it is simply not comfortable to sleep on. The padding and warmth this provides is similar to simply laying on a heavy blanket on the ground.It is better than no pad and it will protect your sleeping bag from being in direct contact with rocks and roots.Bottom line: if your budget is less than $40 and your primary concern is weight and absolute reliability this is perfect. If you can spend $40 or more and you are at all concerned about comfort buy something else.

Il materassino da campeggio in questione mi è stato inviato nella forma extralarge, quindi largo oltre 90 cm, per la precisione 93. Questo è stato di grande comodità per dormire nel sacco a pelo, isolante, morbido, pratico, ma molto meno comodo da portare sopra lo zaino, perché la larghezza eccessiva lo ha fatto spesso "grattare" su cespugli e rocce durante le camminate del trekking, provocando dei piccoli strappi, e comunque, nonostante la leggerezza, il volume di ingombro sulle spalle è stato per me eccessivo. Consiglio di provare la versione standard, che misura circa 70 cm di larghezza, o la più stretta ancora, che misura circa 50 cm.

Exactly as described. I have a four piece, surplus US extreme cold military sleep system bag, so I slipped this regular sized pad into the outer, weatherproof bivy, allowing me to roll around in the inner bags without rolling off the pad. The discomfort of uneven surfaces is certainly minimized and it seems this pad is durable enough to last a very long time. No hesitation recommending this closed foam pad as a solid investment for those of us who desire a little comfort when "roughing it".

This Therm-a-Rest is a solid mat. I used it once on a 3 night/4 day backpacking trip and it worked great! It was cold and windy at night and I definitely feel like it did help retain body heat. I've slept on your common, flat, yoga type mat that do okay for comfort but don't help as far as body heat goes. This one does! It's comfortable for me, but i can sleep just about anywhere.. a rock slab, slab of steel, most places so "comfort" isn't a major concern for me while backpacking and I was comfortable, warm, and slept well... and it's extremely light weight and durable. I backpacked in the Texas hill country/canyons and I'm definitely going to keep using it for now until it wears out. This is going back to the basics and I like that. A solid mat at a great price.

I was looking for a basic sleeping mat to keep myself off the ground. I went with the large (I'm 6'2") and it works well. I used this after a recent ultra endurance race and was still comfortable sleeping on it even with a very sore body. It is not soft by any means, but keeps you warm and provides just enough cushion to take the edge off. It's a bit bulky, but it weighs practically nothing. If I was a pickier sleepier I'd probably wish for something softer, but for my uses it works well.

perfect for car camping or going light. I bought two of these with car camping and ultra lighting in mind, and just to be clear, I am not an ultra light snob and not an expert on going ultra light, like some of my friends are. They have told me this is a good mattress but will always suggest something lighter (and much smaller) but since I do more car and site camping, these are ideal for me and my family. Use them with an inflatable air mattress and you have a pretty good sleep system for the ground. By themselves they're better than nothing. I have a friend who would say buy something half this size or cut this one down to save weight (they're not heavy at all) but in the ultra light world, size and weight matters and while they say you save weight you also leave comfort area (at least I think so). I sleep in a fetal position anyway but would like to have the length of my mattress and I'm not one for cutting things up for the sake of size or space. As it is, this rolls up very easily and is very lightweight and comfortable.
