The trekker is a more affordable descendant of the neoair which won our editors choice award in 2009.

Therm a rest neoair trekker sleeping pad review.

The new neoair trekker comes with an increased r value of 3 0 from its last model at 2 0. Other than the speedvalve the max sv differs from a regular neoair xlite only slightly having a rectangular shape instead of a mummy shape making is a bit more comfortable for people who have a larger torso or like a bigger pad. The therm a rest neoair trekker falls awkwardly between other neoair pads. Its rectangular shape gave our side sleeping testers more room to roll around than the mummy shaped neoair xtherm it has an impressive r value of 4 9 but weighs more than our editors choice award winner.

Which one to buy is often the hardest question to answer. Pad thickness in 2 5 inches. Our testers prefer the neoair all season which keeps the trekker s rectangular shape but adds more warmth or the neoair camper which is more comfortable than the trekker and cheaper. The therm a rest neoair all season sv is a warm and comfortable pad.

The trekker is a more affordable descendant of the neoair which won our editors choice award in 2009. The therm a rest neoair trekker sleeping pad is now 50 warmer than the previous version pushing its comfort range well into spring and fall backpacking trips. Therm a rest builds a wide array of sleeping pads as most know. I have been able to use this in many conditions and after 1 000 miles with the neoair trekker here are some things i have found.
