Thermarest Ultralight 3 – 3/4 length
A true ultralight enthusiast would be sleeping on a bed of dander and leaves in the forest.
However, I like a good nights sleep, and this thermarest does it for me.
Granted, a little bit of a luxury at a whopping 13.1 oz. Get the short 3/4 length model – you really don’t need anything longer – just drop your pack at the bottom for your feet to rest on.
Available from Amazon for $67.

Hi Brett, It’s me again the Shot Caller. I have been using your site as a point of reference in my gathering and research of UL gear- so thanks again! I am 6’4″, do you still recommend the Thermarest ‘short’ version? It’s hard to choose since REI keeps them all rolled up! Thanks for the recommendation!
Peace.

hey there – definitley try it first. i’m 5’10 and it worked for me. given your quite tall, it might not work as well.
fyi: i gave up the thermarest for a gossamer gear pad: http://www.brettonstuff.com/index.php/backpacking/gossamer-gear-nightlight-sleeping-pad/. it’s lighter – but not as comfy.
