Therm-a-rest says: 

Updated: Durable, superlight closed-cell camping seat.

With its accordion-style design and closed-cell foam construction, the Z Seat camping seat is an ounce-counter’s solution to on-the-spot comfort. It’s virtually indestructible and superlight, making it ideal for backpacking, ski touring and relaxing on rough terrain. Available with or without our warmth-boosting, reflective ThermaCapture™ surface treatment, there’s hardly a place that the added comfort isn’t worth it.

Our Verdict

The Therm-a-Rest Z-Seat(SOL) is basically a mini version of the popular Z Lite SOL mattress. The proprietary foams are softer on top for extra comfort and denser on the bottom for extra durability. Ideal if you think you’re going to be encountering rough terrain as it’s practically indestructible. And at under 60g it’s not going to add a lot of weight for that extra little bit of comfort.

The ThermaCapture coating provides additional insulation from cold ground making this an ideal seat for the ski tourer or backpacker.
