Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol Ultralight Foam Sleeping Pad
The Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol is a legendary ultralight sleeping pad for a reason. With a tough closed-cell foam build and a smart folding design, it’s my go-to for everything from added insulation to trail yoga to mid-hike lounging.
I’ve personally used this pad for over 5 years, as a base layer under my air pad (adds warmth and protects from punctures), as a sit pad around camp, and even as a yoga mat in the backcountry. It’s simple, rugged, and incredibly functional.
The ThermaCapture™ coating reflects heat back to your body, improving warmth by 15% compared to the original Z Lite. It weighs just 10 oz (short) or 14 oz (regular), folds up accordion-style for easy packing, and is nearly indestructible.
Key Features
- ThermaCapture™ reflective surface boosts warmth by reflecting body heat
- 2.0 R-value makes it great solo for warm weather or layered for cold nights
- Closed-cell foam is lightweight, durable, and doesn’t absorb moisture

Whether you’re a thru-hiker, weekend camper, or just want a versatile pad that can do more than sleep, the Z Lite Sol earns its spot in every pack.
