A few lucky folks already have them, because they accidentally went into inventory and on sale for a few hours this week!

But they are here, they are temporarily out of inventory, while we finish inspecting them, photographing them, and updating the product descriptions.

But here's a teaser photo, and the weight is around 8 oz.

They will be in stock next week.

Backpacking Light TorsoLite

Very pretty. Specs – length/width at top bottom?

Also, links to BGT are broken in the pad's store page.

My red one is only 8.8 oz.

Chris – my red one was 10.2 oz. I must have had some air in it ;)

Looks like you got the high end of the line and I got the low end. I'm not trading guys!

It seems that the last Torsolites were lighter than the previous one

Mine weights about 250 grams (9 oz) as you can check here

The question then Is what advantage had the new ones vs the older.

and what are the differences with previous torsolites?

It seems that is going to be less resistant than the older ones ¿?

Mine did not have the larger 'brand' so I think you are definitely on to something here.

Maybe Ryan J can chime in?

I must have missed all this…where can I find some specs? The picture looks as though it's pretty long – shorter version available?

Can someone at BPL throw any light on the statement "R value 3-4"?

Does this mean it hasn't been tested and you are hedging your bets based on the old model or have I missed something?

Reading the specs appears that the only real differency is the new colour and the claim that is made with a "stronger top and bottom fabric"

Ummm… honestly i expect more improvements….. :-(

The new Torsolite is similar to the old one. New fabric, lower weight, and different colors.

And the 3.0 – 4.0 R value?

Does this mean it varies across different pads due to small variations in thickness etc., or does it vary across the same pad in some, as yet undefined (and unlikely), manner?

Any thoughts/clarifications gratefully received!

Richard,

I'm sorry but I cannot comment on that scientifically.
