Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite NXT: first impressions
Therm-a-Rest – or Cascade Designs as the brand was called back in the 1970s – revolutionized backpack camping several decades ago by inventing self-inflating sleeping pads that actually made overnighting in the outdoors a genuinely comfortable experience. The range has expanded and evolved massively since then, to include closed cell sleeping pads and inflatable pillows as well, but the American brand is still setting the bar when it comes to making the best sleeping pads for camping, and the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite NXT is probably the most advanced and highest performing four-season, lightweight mat on the market.
