Weight

Weighing just 370 g, the NeoAir XLite NXT delivers a remarkable R-Value of 4.5 for year-round comfort. Its Triangular Core Matrix™ construction minimises heat loss and provides stable support, while the 7.6 cm thickness ensures plush comfort. The WingLock™ valve allows fast inflation and deflation, and it packs down exceptionally small—perfect for ultralight hikers in any season.

At just 370 g for the regular size, the XLite NXT is one of the lightest insulated sleeping mats available, making it ideal for ultralight backpacking where every gram counts.

With an R-value of 4.5, this mat offers solid three-season warmth and can handle mild winter conditions when paired with an additional layer, making it versatile for most hiking climates.

The 7.6 cm thickness provides excellent cushioning and stability, helping side sleepers avoid pressure points while still offering a firm, supportive feel.

When packed, it compresses down to about the size of a 1-litre water bottle, saving precious space in your pack for other gear.

Constructed from 30D ripstop nylon, the XLite NXT balances lightweight performance with reasonable durability, though it benefits from being paired with a groundsheet in rough terrain.

The updated design is noticeably quieter than older NeoAir models, reducing the signature crinkly sound for a more peaceful night’s sleep.
