Robens Iceshield 75 195 vs Thermarest Trail Lite Long
As far as I can tell, the Robens is beating the Thermarest in every imagineable way. Weight, thickness, packweight, pack-size, R-Value etc. Its 1 cm shorter and thinner in width, Sure, I'll give the Thermarest that one, but that's the only thing I can put my thumb on. And being 192 cm tall, and a sidesleeper with my knee out, that certainly could be an issue. Sure.
**But** Its
Nearly double as thick, **7.5** vs 3.8 cm
100grams lighter. **0.95** vs 1.05 kg
Significantly higher R-Value of **4.2** vs 3.4
Packs smaller **31 x 16 cm** vs 33 x 21 cm
And its **CHEAPER.**
**Can someone please tell me what I'm missing here?** Thermarest is huge, known and trusted brand, is that the only reason? They charge a premium for their brand?
There are of course things not mentioned in the specsheet, durability, comfort, valve-compatibility/performance, noise etc. Anyone who has tried both or just the Robens can elaborate or give some feedback? There's barely any reviews out there about it.
