Review

The Trekker variant of this mat is a bit heavier, feels better on the skin and might resist wear and punctures a bit better.

There is a significant range of sizes and thicknesses in the Thermarest Prolite Plus range. 

Small: 20 in. x 47 in. x 1.5 in. 1 lb. 1 oz.

Regular: 20 in. x 72 in. x 1.5 in. 1 lb. 8 oz.
