Plush, warm comfort at a low weight; quiet fabric
The women’s Ether Light XT Insulated Air Sleeping Mat offers a high degree of comfort at a low weight. Additional Thermolite® insulation (compared to the unisex model) provides three-season warmth for women backpackers.
This insulated sleeping pad has updated 30D / 40D face fabric that is quiet and durable, and the lamination technology continues Sea to Summit’s class-leading reliability.
As of January 1 2020, all sleeping mat manufacturers will test mats for R-Value in independent labs using the ASTM standard F3340-18. Having one test standard provides clarity and transparency to consumers and allows comparisons across brands. Since the standard was published, Sea to Summit has continued to work with other sleeping mat manufacturers and with accredited labs to ensure that the testing is accurate and representative of actual mat performance.
The new test protocol will see some changes to previously published R-Values. It’s important to note that where values do change, it doesn’t signify a drop or increase in warmth—it simply means they have been tested using a slightly different scale.
The packaging of some mats will still carry the previous R-Value, but the mat itself has not changed.
