From the brand
-
In 1971, a mix of unemployed Boeing engineers, a leaky foam gardening pad, and the dream of better nights under the stars came together to change how we experience the outdoors forever.
By 1972, Cascade Designs was formed and began selling the Therm-a-Rest Standard 3/4 – the world’s first self-inflating sleeping pad.
The rest, as they say, is history.

Product Description
The Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol Foam Camping mattress with reflective heat technology is a warmer spin on the classic Z Lite sleeping pad, trusted choice of campers, backpackers, and mountaineers. The Sol pad has all the features of the original, in addition to a reflective ThermaCapture coating that reflects radiant heat back on the body, increasing overall warmth of the pad by 20 percent (R-Value 2.0; R-value measures the material’s ability to insulate—the higher the R-value, the warmer the pad). Softer on the top for comfort, and denser on the bottom for insulation, durability, and protection from rocks and dirt, the proprietary closed-cell foam also features heat-trapping dimples that capture heat for a cozy night’s sleep. Folding accordion-style construction is compact and easily packable for base camp or transporting into the backcountry. The Thermarest Z Lite Sol Foam Sleeping Pad can be used by minimalists as a stand-alone pad, or doubled up with another ground pad or air mattress for an exceptionally good night’s sleep. Available in two sizes: Small measures 47x20 inches (20x4x5.5 inches, folded) and weighs 10 ounces; Regular measures 72x20 inches (20x5x5.5 inches, folded) and weighs 14 ounces. Manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty. Made in the USA.

Customers like the comfort of the sleeping mat. They say the design keeps air flowing while cushioning their backs, making the weight comfortable. Some say it's fine for sleeping on their back, but some have shoulder issues and the pad was a bit too firm. However, most say it provides just enough cushion to stretch on and even to sleep on, and it'd be great for taking breaks or little naps on the trail.

The Z Lite Sol sleeping pad is lightweight and compact, making it easy to pack and carry on backpacking trips. It's made of a closed-cell foam material that provides good insulation and support, and is durable enough to withstand rough terrain. The pad also has a reflective layer on one side, which helps to retain heat and keep you warm on colder nights.
When paired with my air mattress, the Z Lite sleeping pad provides an extra layer of comfort and insulation. The air mattress is already a comfortable option on its own, but the added support and insulation of the pad makes it feel even more luxurious. I've used this combination on a few backpacking trips now and have been consistently impressed with how well it sleeps.
Overall, I'm really pleased with my purchase. It's a high-quality, reliable sleeping pad and has helped to improve my sleep on the trail. I would definitely recommend it to other outdoor enthusiasts looking for a comfortable and lightweight sleeping pad option.
Since there's really not much more that can be said for this pad, my review is essentially a Rain and WET condition review. Imagine the worst case scenario and your tent fails in a heavy all night downpour and your tent floor tub fills with water. That was my situation on a recent 2 night camp, where we got 7 inches of heavy rain over 3 days. National weather service issued flash flood warnings in the creek and river gorge areas, which I fortunately was not in. I have never experienced rain this heavy before.. all night, all day, non stop.
I had set up my tent in wet sloshy, leafy slush and my tent floor just could not keep it out, even with a blue ground tarp. I had water percolating up through my tent floor, and at the deepest it was about 1/4". I was up all night soaking up water puddles, and wringing them out with my camp towel. I could not sleep a wink, worried all night about waking up in a swimming pool.
Despite all that, the Z-lite performed like a champ. I use it in conjunction with a Thermarest Neo-Air Venture, and I deflate the Neo-air so my hips and shoulders just barely avoid bottom-ing out. The Z-lite was just enough elevation up off the soaked floor to keep me completely dry. I have the small Z-lite since I only need to have coverage down to my thighs with the Neo-air giving me sufficient comfort. The Z-lite did absorb water kind of like a sponge though, that would be a little concerning on an extended tent-fail trip. Despite that, my sleeping bag was completely dry, warm and comfy all night. I felt like I was on a raft dingy, floating in a pool of water. I was previously using a Reflect-ix sheet beneath my Neo-air, no doubt that would not have been enough thickness or elevation in this scenario. I am not exactly sure which has a higher "R" value between the reflect-ix and Z-lite, but I felt just as warm.
One thing I like about the Z-lite is the increased friction I get with the neo-air. I always had a problem with reflectix sheet being too slick and slippery. My Neo-air would slide off in the middle of the night. The Z-lite is a little more grippy. I still get some slipping and sliding but its manageable. I will probably add some velcro straps though on my next camp out just to make sure the two remain stacked up. The added padding, cushion and comfort is noticeable. If you are contemplating a Z-lite to replace reflect-ix sheet beneath your air pad, go for it. Its added features, comfort and functionality is worth the $$. Its also added redundancy in the event my Neo-air leaks and my patch kit doesn't work.
