A thin closed-cell foam pad is one of the most versatile pieces of gear we recommend.
Use one for:
- Protecting the underside of your inflatable pad from abrasion and puncture;
- Keeping your inflatable pad from sliding around on the slippery floor of your tent;
- Adding additional insulation when sleeping on snow or wet, cold ground;
- Standalone use while fastpacking or camping in areas with soft ground, when you need to save as much weight as possible.
If you’re on the hunt for a thin closed cell foam pad, consider the Gossamer Gear Thinlight:
Evazote 30 (30 g/cm3) closed cell foam is a good choice if durability and resistance to compression are a high priority. This makes pads like the the Gossamer Gear Thinlight stay warmer and thicker for longer, which means less gear to replace less often – and more money in your pocket.
