Anthony Galluscio's Therm-a-rest sleeping pad.

Anthony Galluscio Sleeping Pad Review

  • Item: Sleeping Pad
  • Quantity: 1
  • Make: Therm-a-rest
  • Model: NeoAir XLite Large,Marigold
  • Cost: $179.90
  • Weight: 17 oz
  • Rating: Good
  • Notes: I think a comfortable night’s sleep on the trail starts with a good sleeping pad. It seems intuitive that the more weight you are willing to carry, the more comfortable you will be. However, this pad defies that rule  by packing a lot of comfort into a low amount of weight and small form factor. The pad rolls up incredibly small and is quite light at 17 ounces. This  pad has a mummy bag shape and, with my 6’2″ frame, I have no problem fitting on it comfortably. The pad is very comfortable to sleep on and stays inflated throughout the night. This pad is as comfortable as any ground pad I have slept on when camping. The pros of this pad are the packed size, weight, and incredible comfort. The only con I can think of is that this pad is noisy when you roll over.  That is the only thing reason I rated this sleeping pad as “good” rather than “excellent.”
