Therm-a-Rest ProLite Apex im Test

Die Matte ist wirklich gut, sie ist bequem, dass Packmaß ist „ok“ & begleitet mich bei einer Alpenüberquerung! Die Isolationsleistung ist wirklich erstaunlich gut, man spürt förmlich die Wärme von unten! Einen Nachteil gibt es dennoch - sie braucht ewig zum entfalten & es gibt keinen Pumpsack. Sprich bei -2°C friert das Kondenswasser vom aufpusten in der Matte. Evtl. bei dauerhaften aufpusten mit dem Mund evtl. Auch Schimmelbildung durch mangelnder Innenbelüftungsmöglichkeit. Sprich man muss mehr Zeit einplanen wenn man sie benutzt. Gerne 20 min. Trotzdem für mich ein Produkt dessen Geld es wert ist, & ich würde sie dennoch wiederkaufen durch die enorm gute, wie o.g. Isoleistung!!

Moin, ich habe die Isomatte nun schon 3 Jahre, daher kann ich euch mal meine Erfahrungen dazu berichten. Zuerst zu den Pluspunkten. Die Matte ist für Ihre Leistung günstig, sie hat eine enorme Wärmeleistung wovon ich in der ersten Nacht ziemlich erstaunt war. Auf verschiedensten Touren hat Sie durchaus trotz nass kaltem Boden einen warmen Untergrund geboten. Des weiteren ist die Matte unglaublich Robust. Ich habe sie mehrfach Solo auf Stein/Geröll und Schotterboden genutzt und Sie ist nach wie vor dicht. Ich habe die Matte, auch wenn man es nicht sollte, die meiste Zeit manuell aufgepumpt. Beim ablassen der Luft, wenn man dann am Ventil riecht, gibt es außer meinem Mundgeruch keine auffälligen Gerüche, sprich keine Schimmelbildung etc. (würde ich dennoch nicht empfehlen, kann bei kalten Temp. die Isolation durch gefrohrenes Kondenswasser veringern) Minuspunkt.. Das Packmaß ist Grenzwertig.. für mich noch in Ordnung, aber für jemanden mit einem Kunstfaser Sack kann es eng werden!

Finalmente un materassino che fa il suo lavoro. Facile da gonfiare, comodissimo e ti fa dormire davvero bene. Il prezzo vale la spesa. Consigliatissimo

Für mich der Beste Kompromiss zwischen R-Wert, Preis, Gewicht und Packmaß. Es wäre schön, wenn ein Pumpsack dabei wäre.

As a side sleeper only, I need a wider than normal mat for a comfortable nights sleep, Combined with my down filled, square shaped sleeping bag (Alpkit Cloud 9) , I can stretch out more, It's like being in bed at home! So I purchased the Regular Length (183cm) Wide (64cm) version of this mat and honestly, I don't regret it for a second, despite the somewhat steep £120 price tag. But what is a decent nights sleep worth to you after a long hard days hiking? Not waking up the next morning, feeling terrible because of a lack of sleep on an uncomfortable mat, is worth the asking price, IMO. It is thick enough (5cm) for me to have it at about (guesstimate) 80% inflation for just the right amount of softness/firmness, without any hint of my hips pushing through to the ground, which is vital for side sleepers like me. The wing valve is a fantastic feature as well, it lets you lie on the mat and make very fine, slow adjustments to the mats firmness without any risk of letting too much air out before you can close the valve, something that is a real annoyance on other mats with valves that are either fully open or closed, with no in-between. The mat is rated as 3 season and you can certainly feel the warmth as you lie on it, and I'm sure in combination with a thermal roll mat underneath, it will easily cope as a full on 4 season mat through the winter months. The reassurance of closed cell foam is also a plus point in my book, especially for extended, remote hiking/camping. Knowing that if it does pick up a leak, that you will at least have the internal foam as cushion, rather than having nothing at all with an air inflation mat only, Which are useless after a leak/puncture in the middle of the night. Overall I couldn't be happier with it and I think anyone buying this, will be too.

Bon matelas, je conseil de ne pas trop le gonflé pour pluss de confort, par contre se dégonfle tout seul au bout de 1 mois d'utilisation, pour cela je met 3* car se n'est pas normal au vue du prix que j'ai pailler... Je ne trouve pas de trou ou autre pour pouvoir réparer le matelas a l'aide d'une rustine alor bon.. Je ses pas trop quoi fair Mintenen alor que je suis en trekking en montagne pour encor quelque semaines.. Bref déçu !

I go on one backpacking trip a year and I spend a few weeks every winter sleeping in my car for ski season so I know a little bit about camping pads. I am replacing an original thermarest classic I got from my parents when I was in middle school, those things last forever. I wanted a little more comfort so I got this one because it is cheaper than the neo xlite but has a nice trade off of weight and warmth. I love how comfortable it is and how easy it is to use the valve. The fabric is pretty slippery so I wonder if I will have issues sliding off of it but it is very quiet. It does seem pretty durable and I think it will be easy to clean. The pad when stored is a little bulkier than I thought it would be and can be hard to roll up really compactly but I will probably get better at that with practice. The stuff sack has compression straps but they don't really make it that much smaller. I knew what I was getting though so that doesn't knock a star off for me. I may update this review after car camping on it for the winter, but so far I am happy with it and excited for some winter camping.

Took some time in deciding which was the correct sleeping mat for me. Settled for the Apex and wasn't disappointed. Not the lightest of roll mats but still extremely light. Seller delivered on time and more importantly in time for my camping trip to try it out. Very pleased

I’ve had several Thermorest pads over the years from the original orange ones 30 years ago to the thick “grandpa” pads . Well, this one is my favorite . Terrific compromise of comfort , compactability, warmth and weight. The rounded corners eliminate the wasted real estate that you are never going to sleep on anyway, the gently sloped edges are more comfortable if your arm is resting across it, the new one way valve system is so good.

Love it! I got it wider to be very comfortable. For backpacking, it does take more space than the Xlite in the rucksack but it's a compromise that is worth it to me. Inflates quickly, I used the pumpsack from the Xlite to top it up and it worked perfectly. I didn't bounce around, easy system to adjust firmness and it doesn't sound like a packet of crisps.

One of the challenges of hiking is the ability to get a good night's rest. A great sleeping air pad is essential however generally the more comfortable it is, the larger it is. The prolite was a great balance between size and comfort. However what I like most is that it is durable. I've had sleeping pads that only last a few hikes, however the prolite has lasted 30 nights already for me and doesn't appear to be wearing.

Love this so compact and easy for travel
