Therm-a-Rest Boost 650™ sleeping bag awarded GearJunkie ‘Best in Show’

August 13, 2024

The innovative new sleeping bag, launching spring 2025, was honored with the award at this year's Summer Outdoor Market Alliance media event in Denver, Colo.

Reno, NV. (Aug. 13, 2024) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – After meeting with more than 50 brands and scouring new products from 2024 and 2025, GearJunkie awarded Therm-a-Rest’s new Boost 650™ sleeping bag with its coveted Best in Show Outdoor Market Alliance award. Therm-a-Rest is redefining backpacking comfort with its new sleeping bag, launching spring 2025. The innovative and versatile new design empowers backpackers and campers to adjust their bag to find their personal sweet spot when sleeping under the stars.

The result of years of research, the Boost 650 delivers unparalleled comfort by creatively addressing two key factors in sleep systems—space and warmth. Addressing sleep space, the semi-rectangular shape provides additional room for various natural sleeping positions without feeling restrictive. Addressing warmth, the new WarmZip™ technology, a patent-pending center zipper, transforms the bag into a mummy shape, reducing its internal space and tucking insulation around the sleeper to boost warmth up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The WarmZip technology, and 650-fill down provide ample warmth for chillier nights in the backcountry.

GearJunkie’s review gives the Boost 650 high marks: “Therm-a-Rest had a lot to show us this summer, but the Boost sleeping bag stood out for its innovative design and clever approach to giving more to the most frequent backpackers and campers.” Therm-a-Rest’s spring 2025 NeoLoft™ pad also earned an “honorable mention” by the GearJunkie team.
