This Thermarest Sleeping Pad is one of the best purchases of backpacking gear I’ve ever made. It makes sleeping on dirt almost as comfortable as sleeping in a bed at home. What is nice about this women’s specific Thermarest Trail Pro Sleeping Pad is that it is designed specifically for women, which means there is extra insulation at the feet and the upper body, where we tend to get the coldest. Smart, huh! Plus, since I’m smaller than the average man, I didn’t want to lug around a huge mattress with me.

My husband loves this one so much that he’s stolen mine even though he’s 6ft 2in.
I love my Therm-a-rest too. I do a lot of canoe camping, and these sleeping pads are perfect for sleeping on gravel bars. I use one of the big base camp pads because there is plenty of room in the canoe, but if I were backpacking, I would certainly go with one of the smaller, lighter ones.
Nice website. It looks great. I love your avatar and the mountains in the header.
Thanks, Russell
I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for reading.
We’re an older couple who will be hiking the Inca Trail in April. The company sponsoring the trip will rent sleeping pads, but I’m worried about hiking all day and sleeping on dirt on a flimsy pad (I’m in good shape, but I have the older person’s joint and muscle aches if I don’t sleep well). We are very limited in the weight we can bring. How much does the Thermarest weigh, and would it be worth it to schlep it along instead of taking the rental pad? (also, thanks for this site – I finally learned how to get boots that fit!)
Hi there! Wow, you’re going to have a wonderful time on the Inca Trail. You may want to call the trip sponsor in advance and find out details on what type of pad they provide. The Thermarest Trail Pro weighs exactly 2 pounds. If they plan on providing you with only a foam pad, then I’d bring along an inflatable one like this to put on top of the foam pad. But if they have decent inflatable ones, you probably don’t need to bring along a Thermarest.
Have a great time!
