ThermaRest’s designed the Toughskin by refusing to stay within the confines of four  general styles of sleeping pads.  Instead ThermaRest took the insulation, durability and comfort of a closed cell pad and merged it with the cushion comfort, water resistance, and puncture resistance of a self inflating pad.  So now a camper gets the best of both sleeping pads in an all in one 2.5lb package.  Outside Magazine features the ThermaRest Toughskin in their 2007 Gear of the Year awards and reports “it didn’t leak even after we laid it atop a pile of sticks and jumped on it”. 

Thermarest vows that they designed the Toughskin to be a warm enough sleeping pad for summer and winter.  The ThermaRest Toughskin also features a powerful list of added benefits.

• ThermaRest Toughskin offer 95% added protection against thorn and rock punctures due to the integrated design.
• The layer of closed cell foam protects the Toughskin even if punctured due to the combination design.
• The Toughskin offers longevity and durability due to heavy duty ripstop denier
• No sliding on the ground thanks to a low slip bottom of the pad
• It weighs a minimal 2.5 lbs
• Extremely compact to carry in the backcountry at 5.4 by 21 inches
• Lifetime warranty
