Therm-a-Rest Z-Seat

Hiking & Camping > Sleeping Bags & PadsRated: ***** by 2 reviews.

ProLite Gear

The Z-Seat is Therm-a-Rest's lightest seat. Made of closed-cell foam, this seat is both comfortable and durable with an R-value of 2.2. On short rest breaks it's often too much of a hassle to unpack and inflate a traditional lightweight seat. So you end up sitting in a snow bank, on wet logs or uncomfortable rocks. The Z-seat doesn't need to be inflated, and the accordion-style design makes it ready to use in an instant.

Don't leave home without it!

Rating:*****
An avid backpacker and mountain climber tipped me off to the Z-seat before my first week long trek. I love it. It's extremely light weight (only 2 oz.) & I attach it with a velcro loop to the to the back of my bag for easy use on every break. Makes even the most jagged rock, confortable. It may look small, but provides ample cushion and durability. After my first weeks use, I liked it so much I took it to football games & eventually lost it. Before my next big outing, I bought my second one & today ordered a third for my daughter. Next to my trekking poles, this is the most important luxery item I have.

An avid backpacker & mountain climber tipped me off to the Z-seat & I love it. I bought & used one on my first week long trek. I attach it to the back of my bag with a velcro strap for easy access, because i use it on every break. The z-seat is small (only 2 oz.), durable, and makes even the most jagged rock, comfortable. I lost my seat after taking it to ball-games for hard bleachers & immediately bought another for my next big hike & today, bought my third for my daughter. Next to my trekking poles, the z-seat is my favorite piece of equipment.
