| grrickar's Full Review: Therm A Rest Prolite 4 Women's |
I recently purchased the Prolite 3 pad from REI to replace my Thermarest Trail pad. My Thermarest Trail pad has a higher insulation rating, but weighs in at over 2 lbs - and it is a short pad (does not extend to feet). My new Thermarest Prolite 3 is full length, and weights 1.5 lbs. This means I'll be carrying less weight and bulk, but more pad. If you are going to be doing 4 season camping I recommend that you get the Prolite 4, which has a higher insulation rating. Of course the Trail pads have even higher, but are more bulky and are not as useful for long distance backpacking.
