Instructions

Yes, this has been asked, and here are the official answers from the FDF and Savotta.

Description

The Savotta sleeping pad is the same one made for the Finnish army. To be honest, it is the best one we've ever seen. Now, if there's something the Finnish army can do right, it's sleeping-related gear.

  • Combined sleeping pad and personal groundsheet
  • Rubberized anti-skid and waterproof bottom
  • 50 x 190 cm closed cell foam pad
  • 25 cm wide groundsheet wings on both sides
  • Elastic webbing loops keep the pad rolled
  • R-value: 2
  • 5 year material and workmanship warranty
  • Made in Finland/Estonia

Admittedly, traditional sleeping pads are OK, especially for the price. If you appreciate durability and field-worthy features, do read on. The Savotta FDF Sleeping Pad is refined through experience and a deep understanding of the needs of the end-users in Nordic environments.

Features

The thick closed-cell foam provides comfort and insulation to prevent heat loss into the cold ground. This is not much different from the norm.

The special thing is the cover. The lightweight, waterproof cover does a lot of things: It protects the cell foam from punctures, tears, and abrasion. It adds some insulation as it traps air inside it. Perhaps most notably, it offers a small personal groundsheet as the sides of the cover extend 25 cm on both sides, providing you with a 100 cm wide, clean surface. Pads side-by-side form an effective groundsheet under a tarp or marquee tent.

The cover used to be removable but this is no longer the case: if you want to switch the cell foam pad to something else, it's possible but requires undoing some seams and sewing them back together.

A rubberized friction surface prevents sliding around and the integrated elastic loops provide an easy, hassle-free packing solution as well as hanging points among other uses.

The benefit of a closed-cell foam includes reliability: these won't go flat on you because of a tiny hole. Also, it's always ready to be unrolled or packed when you stop and go without time to waste.
