Gear Notes

The Torso Foam Pad is designed to provide sleep support where you need it most. Formerly known as the "nightlight," this uniquely shaped ultralight sleeping pad is ideal for the ultralight hiker looking to eliminate the unnecessary and trim every ounce.

Compared to our 1/8" Thinlights, the Torso Foam Pad boasts 3/8" thickness to provide more cushion while remaining relatively weight neutral.

Please note that some pads will feature scuffs, small air pockets, or creases. This is cosmetic and does not affect performance.

Customer photo review of Torso Foam Pad - 3/8"

I never got great sleep on an inflatable. As a side sleeper, my hands and knees were always falling off the edge of the pad, which I found particularly annoying. To solve this I went closer to the ground, and have found the Torso pad to be perfect for my needs. 3/8” is the sweet spot for me, I don’t need more thickness than this, and the tapered cut means there’s not a wasted inch of material to lug around. I get great sleep in the backcountry, whether on soft stuff or established sites. This pad is bombproof, folds away in a second, and at 2.3 ounces brings me great joy. It’s one of the best, most efficient pieces of gear in my kit.

Torso Foam Pad - 3/8"

A stone cold necessity for me. I have narcolepsy, which means that I get overtaken suddenly by sleepiness several times per day (more when I'm exerting myself). This little gem is the perfect thing to toss on the ground and curl up on for a nap. It also makes a great sit pad, kneeling pad, vestibule mat, and extra protection from sharp objects when placed under an inflatable sleeping pad.

Torso Foam Pad - 3/8"

I wanted to have a little more protection for my air pad and for my back and hips on the PCT this year. I looked at various pads and the GG 1/8" rolls and folding pads, but decided on this Torso Pad. I feel it'll give my back and hips the extra support they need, while saving weight over a full length 3/8" pad. Time will tell how it does on the PCT, but I did test it out on a weekend trip and it felt okay (back-wise). It is also a nice sit/lay down pad for breaks on the trail. Probably wouldn't have gotten it if it didn't have this dual purpose (have to save every fraction of an ounce).

Torso Foam Pad - 3/8"

I have the 1/8" and this one. This is what I always wanted the 1/8" to be! This is the Perfect backpack padding and it's so much more comfortable to sleep on. I love this pad. 10/10 would recommend!

Torso Foam Pad - 3/8"

I like it - size is surprising. Folds up small and is super light but thick. So as to provide some rigidity for the pack (Aluula 36L). Some warmth as well and minimal comfort.

I would love this more if there was a non-tapered version.

Torso Foam Pad - 3/8"

Used this on a recent 45 mile trip on the AZT in Arizona, with my ultralight sleeping bag, I was surprised at how well it protected my torso area from the hard ground and provided just enough warmth at 45 degrees over 3 nights.

Torso Foam Pad - 3/8"

Okay, I'm ever searching to lighten my distance hiking kit, so along those lines, I saw this and had to try it...I already regularly use the full-length 1/8" GG pad under my air mattress, but the torso-length 3/8" pad would shave 10 oz off my base weight...at 30" this barely goes shoulder to hip, however I don't toss & turn much in my sleep, so it covers exactly the worst pressure points for side sleeping with my quilt straps tightened around it, plus the 1/8" pad extending below that may be perfect. The 1/8" full length plus this 3/8" weigh in at less than 6 oz combined and the folded width provides perfect rigidity for my frameless pack. If you're a cold sleeper, this may not be for you, but the 1/2" of foam under my torso, to me seems like a perfect combination of weight, moderate comfort, and warmth.
