Craving restful sleep without the backpacking bulk? Meet the Therm-a-Rest Z Lite—a three-season ultralight sleeping pad engineered for thru-hikers and minimalist campers who refuse to sacrifice comfort for weight savings. Weighing a mere 14 oz (less than your trail snack!), this closed-cell foam mattress disappears into your pack at just 5x5x20 inches yet delivers surprising coziness on rocky terrain. How?
