The Thermarest Z-Lite Sol Regular is a lightweight closed-cell foam sleeping mat designed for solo campers and backpackers. It provides a simple, no-fuss way to add cushioning between you and the ground on overnight trips.
Weighing just 410 grams, this pad falls into the ultralight category, and folds up compactly into a 51 x 13 x 14 cm package that slips easily into or onto a pack. The 100% polyethylene foam construction resists tears and holds its shape night after night, while the 2 cm thickness offers a balance of low bulk and ground cushioning, making it a good choice when every gram counts.
The R-value of 2 measures the mat’s thermal resistance and gives you an idea of how well it keeps you insulated from cold ground. An R-value at this level is suitable for milder conditions in spring through autumn, helping retain some body heat without extra bulk.

The proprietary foams are softer on top for extra comfort and denser on the bottom for extra durability, making the Z Lite SOL an idealclosed-cell foam pad for those in need of an ultralight, highly compact and super-reliable sleep system.
