Here is the ideal sleeping pad for the cross country bicycle ride. It packs to a small cylinder sack that is 11 inches tall and 4 inches wide. The pad is very easy to inflate and just as easy to compress back into the sack.
This is my third therma-rest purchase in a row. Shopping online, the first one was large and didn’t pack up small enough for our trip on bicycles. The second one was a NeoAir XLite mattress that is smaller and lighter (12 ounces) but it made a horrible cracking noise when moving on the mattress. I knew I would never sleep with the loud voice of that pad. Rather than buying online again, I went to the local REI store and found this fantastic sleeping pad.
This Pro-Lite therma-rest mattress is very small, the women’s packs to 11 x 4 inches. The pad comes in 4 sizes including a women’s size that is a full size sleeping pad measuring 20 x 66 in. It inflates quick with a super easy self inflation valve that is fast and easy to inflate. The mattress has a self inflating foam core that makes setup quick and easy. The pad was made in USA which is a bonus!!
