Sleeping pad recommendation.

What size XLite did you try?  I was thinking the Regular/Long might fit the bill.

Try the regular wide xlight. It is 25 inches wide opposed to the regular that is 20 inches wide.

The length is the same.. i believe 72.

I intended to say regular/wide above 25″x72″.

Brad, I tried the regular 20×72 xlite. I was curious if the 25 inch version would help with the side collapsing problem.

I don’t know if you live near an REI or other outfitter that carries the X-Lite 25″x72″ but if you do you could always try one.

I haven’t used a 25″ wide pad ever, so I can’t comment, though I will say that I do feel that the horizontal baffles used in the Neo-Air pads are a little more prone to side collapsing than vertical baffles such as the Exped pads.

I do have an REI about an hour away.  I’ll check one out. I have a 20 inch rei flash insulated pad and for some reason it doesnt feel nearly as narrow as that Xlite did, I just dont trust it enough to carry it as my sole pad

The Nemo Insulated Tensor regular wide might fit the bill. A little heavier than your target weight at 1 lb 3 oz, but very comfortable, quiet and supportive even at the edges.

I’ll add that nemo to my list to check out.  Hopefully my REI has a display. I’d prefer to try something out before I waste anymore money on shipping.

If all else fails I’ll stick with my exped and lose the weight elsewhere. I think I could lose 5 ounces off of my cook kit anyway.
