"I’ve done the cdt, azt, and at all with a thermarest prolite(far more durable)"
"I’ve been using my prolite for over 20 years and love it. ... It’s holding up super well and barely looks used."
"I’ve had a ton of success with the thermarest prolite. ... I used the regular length for the pct, short version for the cdt, azt, and at. No issues on the pct or cdt"

"One I mainly use is earliest "ultralight" version, weighs about 1pd and inflates to 1". ... Short vers weight about one pound."
"It weighs significantly less than my full length air mat (TAR Neoair Xlite Max reg)"
"The short version is obviously smaller, so less bulky."

"My arm goes dead without fail sleeping on the Thermarests"
"just like the rest it is not wide enough. Although it was 25 inches wide, I end up rolling off or I spread out and my legs and arms fall off of it."
"I wake up sore whether I use the cot or just use the sleeping pad on the floor of the tent."

"heavier ... out of the regular rotation"
"I take the weight penalty ... to my mind that makes it a luxury item."
"It’s heavy though."

"they take up nearly twice the room in my gear"
"Those have some foam in them, so they don't roll up as small"
"they are bulky since both are self inflating."

"The classic self-inflating Thermarest pads that they have been making for 30+ years are less warm and less comfortable than the Xtherm ... However, for the temperatures you are talking about, you will still want to pair that pad with a foam pad."
"Neither is adequate without help on snow or in "severe" cold."

"I wasn’t comfortable. ... I used to put my feet on my backpack."
"no pad under my feet so I put my bag under my feet on cold nights."
