Thanks
 
Hi, I am wanting a Thermarest Prolite 3 or 4 in a regular.

I have a Prolite 3 but to be honest, don't find it that good. I now mostly have gone back to using a Ridgerest. The Prolite is 567g whereas the Ridgerest 313g. Also the Ridgerest is 'bombproof' and I find more comfortable.

Must you really have a Thermarest? Alpkit make a good alternative.

I used to have a Thermarest (but it was stolen a while back) and really liked it, It fit in the side pouch of my pack and I found it really comfortable.

I have to swap:
  • MSR MIOX - Unused but test strips just out of date
  • MSR Windpro Stove - Used 3 times
  • Brand New Genuine NATO bottle and Crusader SS Mug
  • Ray Mears Essential Bushcraft Handbook - New
  • Ray Mears Bushcraft Survival Hardback - New
  • Bear Grylls Born Survivor (Survival Techniques) Hardback - New

Cheers for the replies
 
Also forgot to mention I also have:
  • Various Exped Dry bags in assorted sizes - New
  • Mountain Equipment 70 Litre Wet & Dry bag - Used once
  • Mountain Hardwear Micro Fleece Half Zip Olive XL - New
  • Mountain Equipment Polartech fleece Full zip Black XL - New
  • North Face Primaloft insulated jacket XL black - As New 6 months old

Cheers Again

Hi Jim, are you interested in selling/swapping the mat?
 
Hi Jim, are you interested in selling/swapping the mat?

I think I'll hang on to it for this season. If I decide to sell it I'll probably take my chances on ebay.

If I was considering a lightweight inflatable mat now, I'd probably choose the Alpkit one, but as I said before, the Ridgerest is much lighter and I find at least as comfortable. The only situation where I don't like the Ridgerest is in cold conditions, where condensation collects in the hollows, and wets the sleeping bag.

Just managed to pick up a brand new Prolite 3 in regular for £40 delivered. Also got one in short for the same price (Should come in handy in the hammock).

A few places are selling them off cheap as there's now a new one out.

Thanks anyway
