That is the question I was faced with at lunchtime. I scooted over to Cotswold to get some gas canisters and to look for some gaiters (no luck). I also had a look at the Prolite 3 short. The cost was £65 to save 87gms. Is it worth it? Difficult to tell, so I kept my hand in my pocket. I’m not saying I’ll never buy a Prolite 3 short but it’s not a straightforward choice. As I mentioned before, the older Thermarest feels more comfortable as the foam has less perforations. The pack size appears to be very similar. I looked at the reviews on OM, where a couple of the reviewers suggested that the weight of the Prolite 3 short is higher than advertised. Perhaps I’d better take my scales along!
