Ultralight Comfort, Proven Performance

The Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite NXT sleeping pad is the gold standard for ultralight mountaineering comfort. At just 13 oz in the Regular size, it packs down smaller than a 1L bottle yet inflates to a supportive 3" thickness. With a 4.5 R-value, it’s warm enough for year-round conditions, and the new construction makes it quieter and more comfortable than ever. This is the pad our guides trust on expedition—season after season.

Our Take

The XLite NXT is the pad we recommend to almost everyone. It balances warmth, weight, and packability better than anything else on the market, and the latest version fixes the only real complaint; noise. For mountaineers, backpackers, and anyone counting ounces, this pad has earned its spot in the kit.

Guide Tip: Combining inflatable pads like this one with a closed-cell foam sleeping pad will significantly up the R-Value, turning your 3-season pad into a great above-treeline sleep aid!

Our Philosophy

We Simplify Outfitting

Whittaker Mountaineering was born out of the need for RMI to make sure their clients had the appropriate gear to get to the top of Mt. Rainier safely. After decades of trying, reviewing, arguing-over, and recommending gear, we can’t help but know what we’re doing by this point. We know what works, we know what doesn’t, and we use that expertise to stock our store.

Who are these guys?

Therm-a-Rest

Therm-a-Rest pioneered lightweight camping comfort with the first self-inflating pad and continues to lead with innovative, durable sleep systems. We carry them because their commitment to comfort, repairability, and long-term reliability makes them a trusted standard for mountaineers and backpackers alike.
