Therm-a-Rest Z Seat

Therm-a-Rest Z Seat


When I snowshoe, sometimes my lunch break isn’t conveniently located near a warm, dry rock. Actually, most rocks I find are always icy, but that just might be my luck! When I saw that Thermarest made a small version of its closed cell foam sleeping pads, I bought one.

I use my Therm-a-Rest Z Seat as a sit pad for winter hikes, as well as summer hikes. It is extremely lightweight and can easily be attached to a daypack. Thermarest makes other sit pads for that pack down smaller for summer hikes, but this one is my go-to sit pad for winter snowshoeing and hiking.

Plus, in addition to keeping my bum happy, it is nice knowing I have closed cell foam with me for emergency purposes. It could be used to wrap up an injured limb to protect it from further abrasions.
