Know before you buy
With an R-value of 1.1, this mat is designed for warm-weather camping and summer backpacking. It provides minimal insulation from the ground, so it is not recommended for cold-weather or winter use.
The included compression bag doubles as a pump sack. You simply attach the bag to the mat's valve, fill the bag with air, and roll the top down to push the air into the mat, which prevents moisture from your breath from entering the interior.
Yes, the Air Sprung Cell technology functions like a pocket-spring mattress, allowing the mat to conform to your body shape. This provides better support and stability for side sleepers compared to traditional horizontal or vertical baffles.
It is highly portable, packing down to just 9 x 19 cm. This makes it an excellent choice for ultralight backpacking or cycle touring where space in your pack is at a premium.
The treatment is applied to the inside of the TPU material to prevent mold and bacteria growth caused by moisture trapped inside the mat. This helps maintain hygiene and extends the overall lifespan of the product.
