For decades people have relied on the original RidgeRest mattress to provide the lightest comfort possible, or to boost the warmth and durability of a three-dseason mattress for winter use. Now, with our patent-pending, aluminized Solar coating, the RidgeRest SOLite offers a 10% boost in warmth with even more durability from surface wear and tear. All of this with no appreciable weight gain makes it perfect for everything from extreme, high-altitude climbing to entry-level backpacking.

The RidgeRest SOLite mattress was awarded the American Alpine Institute's Guides' Choice seal in 2011 after extensive field testing. The guides found it to be the "perfect three-season pad for backpackers and climbers who might need to sleep on snow but not in super cold conditions."
