ID a Thermarest?

I've got a Thermarest that I bought probably about 8 or so years ago.
At the time, it was the lightest one they did.

I've only just realised that Thermarest have changed the names of
their various mattresses. I had seen people on this group mention a
Prolite but I didn't realise that the Ultralite no longer existed.

I bought an Ultralite 3/4 about 3 or 4 years ago because it was the
lightest one they made at the time. It's a maroon colour on the
sleeping side and green on the underneath.

Mine has a serial number (1296720) on the label, so perhaps Thermarest
could advise if you emailed them your number.

Do you want to know for a specific reason or just curiosity?

That sounds similar, then, except mine's blue rather than green.
'Ultralight' also rings a bell.

Good idea, thanks.

Curiosity, mainly. I'd be curious to look up some reviews. Also, I'm
beginning to enter my kit, with weights, into a spreadsheet, and it's
frustrating to have several different T-Rests but not to know what
models they are.

Many thanks - I think 'Ultralight' may be the thing: perhaps the
colour is a length thing? Mine is very long: it may even be extra
long.

Best wishes,

Hi,

I've got a Thermarest that I bought probably about 8 or so years ago.
At the time, it was the lightest one they did. It's a nice dark blue
on one side and an attractive red on the other. I can't see it on the
web site, and (frustratingly) none of my T-Rests have anything on
their little labels to identify which particular product they are.

Can anyone tell me what this one's called?

Why? If it 'aint broke don't fix it. I still use one of their originals :-(

Yep deff an Ultralight. 25mm thick mine is full length.

My label seems to have rubbed off.

You have more than one? I suspect you are a gear junkie...

There are three variables in Thermarests. Weight of filling foam,
thickness of mattress and length of mattress. The colour is, I think,
the same for a given thickness and foam.
