The new generation of the legendary ultralight inflatable sleeping pad suitable even for the coldest temperatures. The Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm NXT Max has a greater thickness and higher thermal resistance compared to its predecessor. The Max version has a rectangular shape and is ideal for those who move a lot while sleeping and require maximum space and comfort.
Why is the product exceptional?
The material used for the top side of the sleeping pad is 30D rip HT nylon. The bottom side is made of more durable 70D nylon. The sleeping pad utilizes a triangular chamber technology that keeps the warmed air in place and a reflective ThermaCapture™ surface that reflects heat back to the user.
Its thermal resistance value is R = 7,3, which is reliably sufficient for winter conditions. Therm-a-Rest sleeping pads are measured according to the ASTM F3340-18 standard. Therefore, their R-values may vary slightly in new versions. Not every manufacturer uses the same metric for R-value, so it's good to keep that in mind when comparing different brands.
If we had to point out something about the previous models of Therm-a-Rest inflatable sleeping pads, it would probably be the valve, which, although durable and fairly reliable, made inflating and deflating quite a bit of work.
However! With the new inflatable sleeping pads, this is no longer a concern. After more than 100 prototypes and 500 nights of field testing, the new valve called WingLock™ is finally here and is better in just about everything!
Compared to the previous model, you should be able to inflate your sleeping pad up to 3x faster. The valve is wider and one-way, so air won't escape while inflating. By turning the "wings" on the sides of the valve, you can easily and quickly deflate the pad. In case of damage, you can easily replace the valve.
You will receive a small storage sack, a repair kit, and a pump sack with the sleeping pad!
With a pump sack, not only can you inflate your sleeping pad faster, but you also avoid unnecessarily introducing humid air from your lungs into it, which can lead to mold growth inside the pad over time.
The option of inflating using a pump sack is excellent in freezing conditions! When you inflate a sleeping pad with your own breath, you push warm air from your lungs into it. However, this warm air gradually cools down and decreases in volume. It may seem that the sleeping pad is leaking, and you might have to inflate it again during the night. The second advantage is that moisture does not accumulate in the sleeping pad, which could condense and subsequently freeze.
Below in the video, you can take a look at how such a pump sack is used.
The Regular Wide size is 183 cm long, 64 cm wide, and weighs 650 grams. When packed, it has a cylindrical shape with dimensions of 28 x 13 cm.
The Large size is 196 cm long, 64 cm wide, and weighs 680 grams. When packed, it takes the shape of a cylinder measuring 28 x 13 cm.
