The Best Backpacking Sleeping Pads announced by OutsidePursuits.com

APOLLO BEACH, Fla. - June 17, 2017 - PRLog -- OutsidePursuits review editors chose the following sleeping pads after extensive testing of durability, comfort, weight and packability.

The Winners are:

Editors' Choice - Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol Mattress

The Z Lite Sol is a classic design and has been around for years and perfected the Therm-a-Rest to be comfortable while being lightweight. The "egg-crate" foam construction of the pad folds up into a compact package that clips on the bottom of a backpack. The tried and tested Z Lite wins the Outside Pursuits "Editors' Choice" award.

Top Pick - Therm-a-Rest ProLite Mattress

The ProLight sleeping pad is another excellent offering from Therm-a-Rest and has a very different design. The ProLite is a "self-inflating" backpacking sleeping pad. This type of pad inflates itself by simply unfolding it. It features a very lightweight and packable design and wins the "Top Pick" award.

Best Buy - Klymit Static V Lightweight Sleeping Pad

The Klymit sleeping pad features a "blow up" design that has V shaped pads that make it comfortable while giving it the smallest possible size when folded up. The pad needs to be inflated by blowing into it; this gives the hiker that ability to inflate it to their desired comfort level. With a small packed size and lightweight it wins the Outside Pursuits "Best Buy" award.
