What it does
- Blocks what is under you — a closed-cell layer stops moisture, grit, roots and cold surfaces from reaching your gear or your back.
- Four weight options — pick 3 mm for the lightest possible ground layer, or 5 mm for more cushioning.
- Rolls and straps on — the mat rolls tight and carries on top of or beside a pack.
- Multi-use — ground layer, tent floor buffer, sit pad at lunch, or a mat under a sleeping pad for extra protection.
Who it is for
- Backpackers who want a lightweight ground layer under an inflatable pad
- Hikers who sit on wet or rocky ground at rest stops
- Campers protecting a tent floor from grit and abrasion
FAQ
Is this a sleeping pad or a sitting pad?
Both. At 182 cm (size M) it covers a full body as a ground layer, and it works equally well as a sit pad or a tent floor protector.
How much does it weigh?
Size M: 95 g at 3 mm, 150 g at 5 mm. Size L: 120 g at 3 mm, 190 g at 5 mm.
What is IXPE foam?
IXPE is a cross-linked polyethylene closed-cell foam. Because the cells are closed, it does not soak up water the way open-cell foam does, and it resists compression over repeated use.
3 mm or 5 mm — which should I choose?
3 mm is the lightest option and enough as a puncture and moisture barrier under an inflatable pad. Choose 5 mm if you want extra cushioning for sitting or for sleeping directly on the mat.
Does it fold or roll?
It rolls. That makes it easy to strap on the outside of a pack without taking space inside.
Care
Wipe with a damp cloth and air dry fully before rolling. Store unrolled or loosely rolled. Keep away from sharp objects.
