Advantages: Reasonable Price Disadvantages: Rather large if backpacking
...Last summer I embarked on a 100 mile highland hike, carrying my equipment in a 75ltre capacity rucksack. We aimed to complete the expedition in 5 days. I felt that my current carry-mat was unsuitable as it was farily large and made from foam. I was recommended a thermarest by my friends, and tried theres before purchasing my own.
I was impressed by the thermarest brand. They make really good quality equipment. I was faced with the choice of whether to go for the "ProLite" mattress from the "fast and light series" or the "Expedition" from "the trek and travel" series. I decided, that as I was on a student budet to go for the "Expedition".
I bought the full length version as I am around 6ft. Perhaps going for regular would have been more advantageuous but if you really want to save on weight and size- chose "Prolite...

.... I have used other prolite products and they are good.
Disadvantages of Prolite Brushing Boots.

I have always found Prolite products to be quite expensive, though they are quality. The brushing boots are £34 a pair. This makes it quite expensive if you need all 4, though good quality horse boots are expensive. The boots offer quite good protection against brushing. They may sometimes slip slightly, but I feel that this is when I have not put them on tightly enough. I find that Prolite does not dry that quickly. If the boots get wet, they are not quick drying, but, to be fair, most boots are not. They do not hold water though. I have found with other Prolite products though, they are not quick drying though not relevant in this review. My main criticism is the cost compared...

Advantages: Very Light, Very Comfortable Disadvantages: Hard to get back in its stuff sac
...This was my second thermarest pad that i purchased after amazing usage of the first one.
It is increadly light and very very small meaning that it can be packed inside your rucksack along with your sleeping bag, not lashed to the outside of your pack.
The pad is very very durable and is not very prone to holes and if i ever do get one i have the free repair kit included in the stuff sac.
The pad is exceptionally comfortable and provides an excellent nights sleep for anyone who finds those annyoying foam things a nightmare.
The pad is a little pricey at £65 but i call it an investment as it provides so many more hours of rest that the closed cell mats.
Once youve gone thermarest, you never go back....
