Regular length wide pads

[TradLife406]

Anyone making a pad for short fat guys? Running an XL Xtherm, but at 5'8 I don't need a 7' long pad.

Would be slick to have a pad as good as the Xtherm but without an extra foot of unused pad.

Thanks

Look at Klymit pads- 30" wide and I believe regular lengths?

Big agnes makes 25x72 pads. Slx and other models.

Really hoping xtherm Max will be eventually be made in wide width and standard length.

I’m loving my Q Core SLX, it’s a fatty and pretty damn lightweight. You should be able to get it regular wide.

I really like my Big Agnes insulated double z. I sleep great on it every time. I had to return the first one because it had a valve issue but the second one has been perfect. They also make an uninsulated version.

You can cut down your xtherm and re-seal it with an iron. Lots of videos and information online.

Klymit static pads are 23" wide in standard format. I am very thin at 5'11" and 155, but my shoulders and arms still hang off 20" wide pads. I wish more manufacturers made regular/wide pads.

EXPED makes the SynMat UL, SynMat HL, SynMat 7, and SynMat XP 7 in MW (medium wide) width. These measure 72"x26"

TradLife406,

Could the extra length of the XTherm be folded under and used as a pillow at the head end? I'm in the same boat as you and I was wondering if there was a reason that couldn't work.

I don't know. I pack a pillow...

Just ordered a Kylmit LW off massdrop with the plan to cut down and reseal as shown in several videos. Should be here next week.

I like the width but am short as *$&% and wont utilize the extra length. I don't think I would be as comfortable with folding the pad over VS packing a pillow, but may have to try it. I can picture myself fighting with it.

Cutting My Thermarest Xtherm Shorter!!! - YouTube definitely going to yard or living room test this for a lot of weekends before even going scouting.

Now go torso length?

That might work well with some lightweight straps to hold it in place.

Ive seen the idea to use a wide thin foam pad (can even make own) under a regular thermarest. That keeps elbows and anything else hanging off the therm warmer. I havent tried it.
