As I am a cold sleeper I was considering buying it – even though there are no winter camping trips in my plans.

To the last moment, I was going back and forth between the Xlite and NeoAir XTherm. The latter is slightly bigger and heavier but provides superb isolation – it can be used during winter camping ( RV 5,7). But expect a nice review one day in the future :). I haven't had a chance to test it properly just yet, though. Just recently I also got a smaller and much lighter backpack - Gregory Maven 45. I decided to start with the heaviest and most expensive pieces: sleeping bag (changed into thick and warm custom-made down bag in February) then the sleeping mat and finally the tent (got Tarptent’s Double Rainbow, and am really happy with the choice). When you don’t have to appropriate budget ready it takes some planning and strategic decision making. I’ve been trying to lighten up my load gradually for a while.

As much as the Vango mat was a good option it was (as all mats of this type are) heavy and big.
#Neoair x lite upgrade
But when I was getting ready for this summer trip I decided to upgrade my sleeping mat. It was easy to use and pretty comfortable. It served me well throughout my hiking in Scotland and Spain. As my budget was quite limited and I had to buy a lot of gear, I settled for a self-inflatable mat by Vango. Which means, that when I was first looking for a sleeping mat, I didn’t even consider getting just a foam mattress. I need to open this review with a disclaimer: I love to sleep and I like my comforts.
