Therm-A-Rest Prolite Plus Sleeping Pad

Therm-a-Rest's Fast & Light mattresses allow you to experience unrivaled comfort without compromising your goals. Weighing less and packing smaller than other mattresses, they facilitate the kind of high-speed, low-weight camping experience sought by alpinists, adventure racers, and long-distance backpackers alike. Hailing from the Fast & Light series, the ProLite Plus is Therm-a-Rest's warmest, lightest, and most compact self-inflating mattress. Using patent-pending, foam-perforating technology, Therm-a-Rest engineered the ProLite Plus to provide exceptional warmth--up to 20 percent more than previous ProLite mattresses--without adding weight. As a result, it's substantial enough to keep you comfortable while mountaineering or on ski tours, yet rolls up small and light enough that you'll have no problem taking it as far as you want to go. Best of all, the ProLite Plus includes all the hallmark qualities of a Therm-a-Rest, including unique diagonal-cut foam that provides the most efficient insulation possible, bottom grips and a textured top surface to keep the mattress where you want it, and a durable polyester construction.

About Therm-a-Rest
In 1971, Seattle aerospace giant Boeing announced the largest layoff in company history, resulting in 50,000 people losing their jobs. Among the jobless were Jim Lea and Neil Anderson, both engineers who were eager to get back to work. Turning to friend John Burroughs--an avid mountain climber--for ideas, Burroughs suggested a better sleeping mattress, specifically one that was lightweight, warm, and comfortable.

Taking their inspiration from gardening cushions that expelled air as the gardener shifted his or her weight, the duo took a piece of open-cell foam and sandwiched it between two pieces of airtight fabric. Using an old sandwich maker, they melted the fabric onto the foam, creating a bond that was perfectly airtight. After adding a valve, their prototype was ready to test. Within two years, Lea and Anderson had partnered with Burroughs to begin production of Therm-a-Rest pads, the world's first self-inflating mattress. Under the name Cascade Designs, the private, family-owned company has grown into one of the most respected outdoor manufacturers in the world. Still based in Seattle, Cascade Designs sticks to the same fundamental principles it was founded upon: providing relevant and innovative products, exceptional quality, and service that exceeds your expectations.
