Use

When buying a sleeping pad, you should consider where and how you intend to use it, the comfort level you want, and how much money you wanna spend. It is impossible to get everything in one pad, so the selection is always a compromise. This one has the R-rating of 4.1, which refers to the pad’s insulation level. The higher the number is, the warmer your ass stays. To give you a reference point, the summer pads are usually around 1-3, the three-season ones 3-5, and the winter ones 5-7. So, this is a pretty warm three-season sleeping pad, and it is also suited for winter use outside the truly Arctic winters.

The company says that it is usable down to -12 degrees Celsius (10°F), but this is subjective. It also depends on you and your sleeping pad. With an extra foam pad you can increase the insulation and turn it into a 4-season pad.

This sleeping mat is also longer than the regular ones, which makes it more comfortable. And it is made from sturdy 75 Denier 190T polyester. Since it is also quite affordable, the downside is that it is a bit bulky. If it shouldn’t be, you need to reduce the size, the insulation, and toughness, or go up in pricing.

This is perfect for folks who don’t mind a little bit more bulk or who don’t intend to do long-distance trekking. It is also great when you travel by car, canoe, or expedition sled.
