ID a Thermarest?

Hi,

I've got a Thermarest that I bought probably about 8 or so years ago.
At the time, it was the lightest one they did. It's a nice dark blue
on one side and an attractive red on the other. I can't see it on the
web site, and (frustratingly) none of my T-Rests have anything on
their little labels to identify which particular product they are.

Can anyone tell me what this one's called?

Many thanks!


Best wishes,

I've only just realised that Thermarest have changed the names of
their various mattresses. I had seen people on this group mention a
Prolite but I didn't realise that the Ultralite no longer existed.

I bought an Ultralite 3/4 about 3 or 4 years ago because it was the
lightest one they made at the time. It's a maroon colour on the
sleeping side and green on the underneath.

Mine has a serial number (1296720) on the label, so perhaps Thermarest
could advise if you emailed them your number.

Do you want to know for a specific reason or just curiosity?

That sounds similar, then, except mine's blue rather than green.
'Ultralight' also rings a bell.

Good idea, thanks.

Curiosity, mainly. I'd be curious to look up some reviews. Also, I'm
beginning to enter my kit, with weights, into a spreadsheet, and it's
frustrating to have several different T-Rests but not to know what
models they are.

Many thanks - I think 'Ultralight' may be the thing: perhaps the
colour is a length thing? Mine is very long: it may even be extra
long.

Why? If it 'aint broke don't fix it. I still use one of their originals :-(

My label seems to have rubbed off.

You have more than one? I suspect you are a gear junkie...

There are three variables in Thermarests. Weight of filling foam,
thickness of mattress and length of mattress. The colour is, I think,
the same for a given thickness and foam.

You suspect right :)
