Lite Seat
Stadiums, aluminum fishing-boats, and rocky campgrounds are not very kind to your behind. But, if you bring along the Therm-a-Rest Trail Seat, you can add 1.5 inches of cushioning goodness to your sitting surface. Simply pull the compact Trail Seat cushion out of your backpack and watch it self-inflate. When you're ready to move along, just roll up the trail seat and secure it with the attached bungee closure for easy packing.

Very Surprised!
Very comfortable and compact. First trip with pad was on a sub freezing back packing trip and to my surprise on the first use and every use after the seat almost seemed to be warming my butt. Ended up getting three of the other back packing companions of mine to get one because they tried it out and were just as amazed as I was.

Great until it died.
Despite the eye watering colors generally a good pad. Packs down small and inflates and deflates quickly. The issue I had is about day five of a seven day photography trip it developed a serious leak leading to a very flat un-cushion when in use and expanding just enough to be an annoyance in my bag. I’ll look for the leak, repair it and maybe get some dye to tone down the color. Loved it when it worked though so hopefully that will fix the cushion and it can return to use. Probably add sealant to my packing list as well.

Unwavering quality!
1. Delivery duration was fast. 2. Cushion is more comfortable than before. I have two Seat since 25 years ago. I'm still using your company's seat with my wife each when we take hiking and mountaineering. 3. Weight is also good too. 4. The size pakced is more smaller than orginal seat.

Very light and comfortable. However the older design my partner has is thinner, just as comfortable yet more packable. I probably would have liked it to be more compact. Otherwise a good product.

The older style was much better. A little bigger. I can’t find anything that compares to the larger square pad that you discontinued. Please bring it back.

Thermarest Lite Seat
I’ve used the Thermarest Lite Seat only a handful of times. So far… it’s been a great addition to my pack. Lite, compact and durable. I’ve used it on rocky beaches, rough trail sides and as an extra insulating pad under my feet while winter mountaineering. Worth the weight and space!
