Ultralight foam pad that improves sleeping pad grip and adds puncture protection. With 3.2 mm thickness and minimal weight, it’s a versatile addition to your kit.
The ultralight Thinlight pad from Gossamer Gear (USA) is a very thin foam sheet designed as an add-on to your sleep system. It adds protection, improves your sleeping pad’s grip, and provides an extra layer of insulation with hardly any weight.
It’s one of those simple accessories you can use in many ways: from protecting your inflatable pad to using it as a sit pad or as support inside your pack.
The Thinlight makes sense if you use an inflatable sleeping pad and want to reduce the risk of punctures or stop it from sliding around inside the tent. Placed underneath, it improves grip and adds a small extra layer between you and the ground.
It’s also useful as a sit pad, as a base to place gear on, or as a back panel inside your pack. Some people even cut it down to carry only what they need.
This is a very thin, lightweight foam, designed to complement other items—not to replace a sleeping pad. Its main advantage is adding functionality without a meaningful penalty in weight or bulk.
It’s available in different formats: rolled, foldable, and in longer or wider versions depending on use. You can choose the one that best fits your kit or even customize it by trimming.
The Thinlight is made from a combination of Polyolefin and EVA. This type of foam is lightweight, flexible, and abrasion-resistant, so you can use it directly on the ground without worrying too much about wear.
With a thickness of 3,2 mm, it’s not designed to provide comfort on its own, but to add protection and a small boost of insulation to your sleep system.

Minimal-weight pad. For me, it perfectly fulfills the function of insulating and protecting the inflatable pad.
Very fast shipping, at home after just a few days.

In the absence of a field test, a very light and versatile sleeping pad. It matches what I expected.

Very fast delivery, and my sleeping pad is great; I’d been looking for a while in European stores for several of these products. I love having a store to buy them from.
