New in at Facewest.co.uk: the Summer 2015 range from Thermarest
Here we take a look at some of the new equipment…
EvoLite
The EvoLite is best described as a hybrid mattress offering the user the convenience of the self inflating mattress combined with the the lightness and packability of an air mattress. By combining these two technologies, Thermarest have pushed into a new area of outdoor comfort. The Evolite is a superb choice for the lightweight backpacker or adventurer requiring a mattress for 3-season use but taking up the minimum of pack space.
Treo Chair
A super comfortable chair for use in the outdoors that is also super packable. The Tripod forms a strong base to support you and the chair and doubles as a carrying case. At camp the components are quickly accessed with the 6000 series aluminium poles slotting into the tripod. The canvas slots onto these at the corners, and these are reinforced with super strong hyperlon.
How to build the Treo Chair:
Slacker Hammock Double
The Slacker Hammock Double is a cosy place for you and your partner to sleep in comfort. This is a packable hammock that can be quickly slung between two trees or posts. Made from a soft brushed polyester with a great next to skin feel that is shaped for the perfect fit, it’s perfect for hanging out at camp. The Slacker is also available as a single hammock – click here.
NeoAir XLite
The lightest air mattress from Thermarest, also with an R-Value of 3.2 meaning that this mattress will perform easily in 3-season conditions. The outer fabrics have been improved and are now a soft textured fabric that provides superb next to skin comfort and are a lot quieter leading to a better nights sleep. The textured fabric also provides greater resistance, so you and your bag are less likely to slip off the mattress!
The ThermaCapture technology featured in the NeoAir Xlite is a series of baffles made from a reflective fabric which provides an almost complete barrier to radiative heat loss. Unlike the mats with which Thermarest is almost synonymous, the Neoair range is not self inflating, instead it needs to be inflated by lung or pump power leading to its great advantage, low weight.

Did you know that you can get a FREE chair kit with most Thermarest mats? If your mat is compatible with one of these kits it says so on the page and we will include one in your delivery. You won’t see it at the checkout because it’s FREE but we will make sure it’s in your delivery. Sorry but these chair kits do not fit the 76cm mats, so you don’t get one. Chair Kits are worth £30 – 40 so it’s a great offer even if they are not the current models.
