5.0 out of 5 stars The best peice of hiking gear I've ever bought., December 21, 2009

I recently moved to Arizona and have been doing some moderately rigorous 8-10 mile day hikes in the Superstition Mountains. A friend of mine let me try his Therm-A-Rest Lite Seat during a lunch break on one of our hikes. I fell in love with it and immediately went out and bought one for both my wife and myself.

It is truly a little piece of heaven during an otherwise rugged day. It weighs less than 4 ounces and folds up to be a little smaller than the size of a soda can; so you hardly notice it your pack. When inflated it's a little bigger than a legal size sheet of paper, and about 1.5 inches thick. I would not have thought a 1.5 inch thick cushion could have been so comfortable (even on somewhat rocky terrain)! So far, I've used mine on dozens of trips and can't imagine ever hiking without it again. If I stop and sit for even five minutes, I take it out and use it since it inflates and deflates so easily and quickly. I especially like it when I sit down for longer periods and I can prop my pack against a rock and put this cushion under my butt... It's almost like sitting in a reclining chair!

Finally, it seems like a fairly durable and versatile piece of equipment. I clear any big or sharp rocks out of the way to be safe before using it (it is only 1.5 inches thick after all), but the fabric is pretty tough, so it should last a while and not get damaged by normal rocks or sticks. Plus, it's great for seats at ball games, boats, picnic tables, etc.

In sum, I highly recommend giving this seat a try (and I see no reason to try a bigger or thicker seat since this one is so good and takes up so little space). I agree it seemed a little expensive at first, but once I gave it a try I found it was absolutely worth it.

After our last uncomfortable flight I decided no longer would we be subject to the poor comfort quality of the "Flotation Devices" the airlines call seat cushions. This seat pad was an excellent solution for my lack of natural built-in padding. I'd recommend filling it up, sitting on it, then slowly letting the air out until you feel most comfortable. I noticed it was most comfortable with barely any air in it.

I bought 3 different self inflatable seat cussions at amazon.com. found this one is the best. Easy to use, right size, and more comforable. I have to get rid of the other 2 and reordered 2 more of this one. Love it.
