Fantastic!

For years I had the smallest version since it took up the least amount of space in a pack or suitcase, but I found it relatively uncomfortable since from the knees down I was on cold, hard ground (I'm 5'1). I finally got around to buying the regular size and WOW does that make all the difference in the world. I sleep so well when I'm camping with this sleeping pad. My only complaint is now this one is like a foot too long! I wish there was a size in between small and regular, maybe a 65 inch or something.

Works Great

Works great I just wish the stuff sack could be used to air it up.

Therm-a-rest Trail Scout

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this for my son to use on a Cub Scout camping trip. He's 11 yo and he slept very comfortably. The only thing that was a little bit of a pain was deflating it enough to fit back in storage sack. I had to unroll it and re-roll tighter it a few times to get all the air out. However, the valve did come in handy for this process.A

Good Sleeping Pad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last month for my son as a birthday present. He's 13 and moving from a smaller child size pad. This worked great! He's in scouts so it will get used often. It compresses and rolls up compact for packing. It provides adequate cushion as well as some insulation from the ground temperature. Overall we're happy.

Decent, Does The Trick

Best bag for the buck for an entry level camping pad.

I Have Had My Trail Scout For Many Years.

I'm only looking at getting another one because of how long I've owned it. It is the most comfortable pad I've ever slept on. Leading me to believe it contains one inch of miracle foam. I would ask how has it survived me, I am amazed. Sign me, Happy Ole Guy

Pack Weight For The Trail

Pack weight for the trail is to heavy and r value is low. Was uncomfortable.

N O T A "Self-inflating" Pad As Advertised

I got my 'Trail Scout' pad and called "Therm-a-rest," when it would not 'self-inflate,' not even after several hours. The person I spoke with told me "You don't understand the functioning of the wing lock." (para-phrase) I went to the video just in case I misread the printed instructions. No dice. The video CONFIRMED that the pad was N O T 'self-inflating.' ("Breath inflation" is the term used in the video.) The foam in the pad does not create an inflation vacuum, to be topped-off, like a self-inflating pad. I have a "Cabela's" and N O W, a "Sea-to-Summit" pad that A R E both 'self-inflating.' Both require 3-5 breaths to achieve desired firmness, but they do the majority of the inflation themselves when the valve is opened and the foam expands to draw air into the pad. The "Thermarest" pad is N O T 'self-inflating.' It is not one of those with a foot-pump or stuff sack bladder inflation method either. This product is M I S L A B E L E D. (I hope they correct it; if not , be advised accordingly.

Works Reasonably Well As A

Works reasonably well as a backpacking pad. Kept me warm in cool, wet weather. Packs small enough for a multi day trip. Low cost makes it a good value compared to other sleeping pads.

Therm-a-rest Trail Scout Sleeping Pad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought sleeping pad for car camping trip to devils lake, Wisconsin. Pad easily inflated. Very comfortable pad. Good deal. Probably too heavy for backpacking.

Good For Backpacking

Light and compact. Would be great if they made these in child sizes.

Great Value From A Trusted Brand

This pad is a great value from Therm-a-Rest, who makes nothing but high quality products, and it's no exception. It's not a thick pad, only about 1", but it's surprisingly comfortable on most terrain due to its dense foam insulation, which also gives it some warmth. There are certainly lighter pads. There are more comfortable pads. There are warmer pads. But this entry into the Therm-a-rest family of self-inflating pads gets the job done. if you aren't interested in air-only, or close cell foam pads, and want something durable with real insulation and don't have deep pockets, for the price this pad may be for you.

Quality Pad, Fair Price

Comfortable, tough, stows small, simple to use. Works well as a floating pad for the lake.

Very Comfortable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are super comfortable, easy to inflate. The pads fit perfectly inside our sleeping bags. They also kept us pretty warm throughout the night. Definitely recommend

Nice Upgrade In The Original Scout Sleeping Pad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The original Scout sleeping pad has an outer layer that is vinyl-like. In my opinion, it is more puncture-prone. This model has the more durable outer material that the standard Thermarest pads have (and is slightly more expensive).
