The Winglock Valve is the new and improved valve system of Thermarest, thanks to its new design, it’s more durable, inflates 3 times faster, and also with Winglock it’s very easy to deflate the sleeping pad. If the rip is small it can usually be fixed (both Thermarest NeoAir XLite and XTherm come with a repair kit), but once air sleeping pads are damaged big, there is no way to fix them, you just need to purchase a new one. They’re the most fragile type of sleeping pads. Air sleeping pads are light and comfortable but they have a disadvantage. Durabilityįirst things first, both sleeping pads are air sleeping pads. And for our comparison XTherm is the winner in this department, to be fair, they both make a little bit sound, but XTherm sounds less. ![]() But air sleeping pads do, and the main reason is, most of the sleeping pads have a special kind of film between the top and bottom layers to increase the insulation.Īnd that film makes a crinkly sound when it moves. ![]() The sound is not an issue for self-inflating and foam sleeping pads, they don’t make any sound when you lay on them. It might be the first time you see that someone talking about sound for sleeping pads, but believe you me, it’s very important, especially if you’re a light sleeper. XLite & XTherm are backpacking sleeping pads, but if you’re a car camper or in any other way if weight is not big issues for you, then I strongly recommend Thermarest Mondoking & Exped Megamat, you can check out my review about them, both offer a bed like comfort, but the trade-off here is the weight and the packed size. USA*Built of the Finest U.S.Therefore, if that is the case, thicker sleeping pads such as Nemo Tensor Ultralight or Big Agnes Air Core Ultra might be a better option for you.īut if you’re a regular sleeper, both XLite & XTherm offers great (and equal) comfort for a backpacking sleeping pad.
