Therm-a-rests on offer

[MartiniDave]

Hi folks,

I thought some of you might like to know that Field & Trek are currently doing 3/4 length thermarests for £19.99 plus postage (normally about £45.00)
This is only over the web - they have got them I just got 3.

I have no connection whatever with F & T.

Hi,

Does anyone know what the difference between the Standard Lite 3/4 and the Pro Lite 3/4 is?

Grez..

 

[tenbears10]

Standard lite is the old model I think. The pro lites are tapered and lighter as well.

Stupid question, but how effective are the 3/4 length mats?

I've been looking at thermarests for a while, but can make any decisions

raskusdrotti - i guess it depends on how tall / big you are.

i've ordered on, but then i am a short a*se.

Personally, I wouldent touch the 3/4 length mats. For the sake of a few gramms its worthwhile getting the full length ones.

 

[raskusdrotti]

Thanks Anthony,

I thought that too! Oh well! With so many models to choose from it's difficult for an indecisive chap like me to make a decision.......or is it??

Neil,

Mine arrived yesterday. Very comfortable on the lounge floor! We're using them at the weekend, albeit camping not "proper" bushcraft. I'll let you know how we get on. It should be a good test because my wife is quite fussy about what she sleeps on, disliking conventional air matresses and foam rolls equally.

The 3/4 length packs down quite small - about like two toilet rolls end to end.

Cheers,

Dave

 

[Graywolf]

Just ordered two,Thanks Martin

 

[raskusdrotti]

Cheers Dave,

It would be interesting to hear how you get on!

Neil

 

[rowen]

Thanks for that ive just ordered one - cheers

 

[dtalbot]

Wouldn't use a 3/4 myself either, as an aside anyone know how good the Decathalon immitation thermarests for abour 1/4 the price are?
Cheers

[Wavey Davey]

Cheers, Dave. I've ordered 2 as well. Thanks for passing on the tip.

I've found a place with some reasonably priced thermarests,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=36114&item=7163317686&tc=photo

I've ordered the Prolite 4, awaiting delivery. Seems very sound to me

 

[flibb]

Just a note to say that thermarests have a lifetime guarantee. I purchased one for £5 that had delaminated, sent it away and they sent me a new prolite 3 (full length) as a replacement.

 

[MartiniDave]

Well, the 3/4 lengths got a big thumbs up from both myself and Elaine. Probably the best nights kip in a tent for either of us. Far better than regular air beds or foam rolls. Neither of us noticed there was nothing under our lower legs.

Dave

P.S. - Anyone got any ideas for using up 2 old foam roll-mats?

 

[Wavey Davey]

Looking forward to getting mine hopefully this week. They are good aren't they. I've slept on one a few times and you're right, Dave, in what you say - airbeds or roll-mats don't really come close in my experience either.

flibb - Interesting what you pointed out - I didn't realise that. I knew Zippo and Leatherman do that kind of thing but not Thermarest. Good way of picking up a cheap one as you say.
