Voted 5/5 | I was very suprised not to see a Z-rest reviewed here yet so I had to add it...Still like the closed cell foam pads the best...super light, super durable...Many emergency uses as well--imprompto casts and such...I have used both the z-rest design and the roll-up design as well and I like the accordian style better as it folds up and will stay folded up on its own and not un-roll...a seemingly simple product but this is the best design/construction I've come across so far... | | Posted Nov 13, 2004 8:27 pm |

Voted 5/5 | I use my Z-lite regular when I want extra insulation. It is not cushy enough for me to use by itself but it is dynamite at adding insulation and thus keeping me warm when I use it with my Therm-rest UL or Insul Mat Max Thermo during the colder months of the year. | | Posted Feb 9, 2006 5:02 pm |

Voted 5/5 | It isn't as comfortable as my inflatable therma-rest but it is a lot lighter and works. I slept with it on frozen ground and only got cold when I wiggled off of the pad, so it keeps you warm. Not the most comfortable, but if you hiked hard enough that shouldn't matter, right? | | Posted Apr 12, 2007 12:34 am |
| plain zero | too heavy? | | 
Voted 4/5 | I've taken my Z-lite out on 2 multiday trips. It's not terribly comfortable but I can live with that. I like the way it folds up in a snap, and unfolds and lays perfectly flat. However, at 15 ounces it's 1/3 heavier than the standard blue polypad that REI sells. The accordian design is nice, but it is worth the extra 5 ounces? Does the egg carton pattern really make it warmer? | | Posted Jun 5, 2007 6:36 pm |
