Neoloft NEOLOFT Thermal Sleep Cushion

My favorite place To wake up in Sleep bagThis is good because I tend to wake up a lot when sleeping in a sleeping bag. It is not the bag, it’s the pillow under it. I have all tried them (it’s part of my job), and although some are definitely better than others, I never found to fulfill the dream of all the travelers – a lightweight sleeping pillow and itself looks like the bed I left at home.

To date, this is. The New Flephite Sleep Sleep Pad is not lighter in 25 ounces-readers, superior readers-but a 4.6-inch luxury pillow, and it provides great comfort at night, which can be more valuable than getting rid of a few ounces.

A big debate in weight

There are two problems in carrying a large sleep pillow in the back country. First, there is the weight you should carry, then there is the amount of the room you occupy in your package. Ultralight online will try to convince you that Camp Comfort – that is, your shelter and your sleep – is not the same as the importance of maintaining weight, so that you can move quickly.

Depending on your background goals, this may be really true. But after trying for a few trips, I found it not this case for me. For me, carrying a slightly larger weight in the form of a heavier tent and a pillow of sleep gives me a better sleep at night, which helps me (on average) to walk more than I do with less weight but a poorest sleep.

The new Neoloft Pad steps from Therm-A-REST in this discussion in this weight/size/comfort through the mill strongly on the side of the comfort. It cannot be denied great, for something like XLite thermal platforms or The ether to the sea to the top (We have very favorite sleeping platforms). Nevertheless, nevertheless, Neoloft is not so Which – which Big when filling it, especially looking at its size when you amplify it.

Neoloft is reliably packaged in size Nallene water bottle– Get more inch than around it and a longer inch of the wide -sized wide pillow. It is a narrow pressure that fits Neoloft in my country HyperLite 40 intersection With the rest of my equipment, but it works on shorter trips where I don’t carry much food. For trips longer than three or four nights, I want 55L package. (Of course, this depends a lot on the size of the rest of the equipment. You can see what you carry Lighter))

I will admit that I was afraid to test this pillow. I didn’t want to raise it with me, but when I already downloaded it … I really didn’t notice an additional 8 ounce on Nemo Tensor I usually carry. Again, I don’t try to win any light prizes. Instead, I am looking for the right balance between weight and comfort.

I am testing Organic ranks For Wire, I use almost the same standards to judge the sleeping platforms. Sleeping comfort reaches the quality of your warm pillow, the extent of pressure reduction, the extent of support, and the extent of its stability.
