I keep seeing this pad in ultra-endurance cycling setups and I was waiting for a review so great to see your video about it! I've been using the Robens Prima Vapour 60 for a couple years now, it's a honeycomb cell pad with an rvalue of 2.2 and it was not much more expensive back then (around 60eur), packs to a similar size and weighs a bit less, so I think I'll be sticking to it!
Thanks, great review! Still thnkng of buyng one because of the compact size. I have the naturehike inflatable bed with pillow & built-in pump. Its around 3-4 times bigger than this. I have a friend who has this
I have had that problem with this mat sometimes - make sure the caps are fully shut before sleeping. It's actually very good for hammocks as it curves around the sleeper and doesn't slide too much.
We did experience sagging with most of our pads when inflating with hot air and the temperature outside was colder. Also it can change a bit during the night. Of course making sure that the caps are closed is a good tip too. But sometimes a little deflation is inevitable depending on conditions you are in.
@@WalkingNatureWorld great, because they had the "old" yellow version at 55 CAD and the "new" one at 75 CAD, so I got the yellow one (the XL on both). Thanks for the review!!
Yes, now we always recommend using at least a simple fabric air pump that is lightweight but prevents any moisture from getting inside as in the case of inflation by mouth. It looked like black dots formed inside but seen from the outside too.
@@morfgo It started to leak so it wasn't holding the air pressure anymore, and the leakage was very difficult to find. And when we did found one and sealed it with a patch, another appeared in a different place soon. Then it never ends.
@@WalkingNatureWorldcover the valve opening with a bandana and blow into the valve. The bandana will provide a screen for moisture and reduce its impact by a lot. But of course a pump sack works even better.
@@WalkingNatureWorld summer don't always have warm weather. Night with full moon can be +5c. It can rain for days, better to have insulation. I have exped downmat7 and thermarest xtherm.
Great to hear that! This is all comes down to personal preference, we are just so used to honeycomb shape. But the quality of it is beyond doubt as always👌🏻
@@WalkingNatureWorld well I changed the first one which had 3 micro holes inside. Was drflated till the first morning of use. They just gave me what someone had used already, almost screw my camping in France. But didn't have issues with a new one.

Many thanks! You just saved me, I didn't know how to properly fold it, love your video!😍

I use this pad for wild camping in 🇬🇧. I always use the Flextail 2 pump and I've never had an issue. I've had it for about 4yrs. 🤔
I think its ok, i would love to see antislipp on both sides and it wil stay a bit straighter
We like that feature too, and quality wise it seems quite resistant to wear
After a night earlier this week on my old super light sleeping pad I was looking for a new one. This seems more comfortable, thanks for the review
Thanks for watching and commenting! Let us know how it goes when using it, would be curious to know your thoughts.

I just bought this pad.
Enjoy using it!
are you a side sleeper? How is it for side sleeping ? :) thanks for your answer if you do
Does it sags after sleeping a night on it? I have sagging in the morning and i am not sure if it is just sagging or it is deflating.

How does it compare to the yellow version (the old one) or are the same?
We think they are pretty much the same from what we could see in the shop itself
@@WalkingNatureWorld great, because they had the "old" yellow version at 55 CAD and the "new" one at 75 CAD, so I got the yellow one (the XL on both).
Thanks for the review!!
It's actually lighter and smaller than the thermorest pro light plus.
Haven't tried any Thermarest gear yet, but have heard many good things about them
how did the mold damage look like? is there any way to prevent this?
Yes, now we always recommend using at least a simple fabric air pump that is lightweight but prevents any moisture from getting inside as in the case of inflation by mouth. It looked like black dots formed inside but seen from the outside too.
@@WalkingNatureWorld was the sleeping bag still functioning "normally" and the damage was "only" disgusting to look at?
Or was it unsuable

Бумагу-то чего не сняли перед использованием?
Мы обычно показываем оборудование в оригинальном состоянии и упаковке.
@@WalkingNatureWorld В оригинальном состоянии и в упаковке - да, а здесь этого нет
Just get insulated pad. More R is better. I use 5,9 or 6,9R. And add foam pad on snow.
1,5R is nice when you want to cool down.
Totally agree with you. It is not made for winter camping. Which pad do you use?
@@WalkingNatureWorld summer don't always have warm weather. Night with full moon can be +5c. It can rain for days, better to have insulation. I have exped downmat7 and thermarest xtherm.
I have it and love it, perfect as I fall asleep on a side and wake up on a bacl and also percet for hammock.
+ I am not paid to say this

any type of air sleeping matress is a nightmare for me. I always use double insulated hard-foam pad.
We have always been using inflatable pads from the very beginning. What type of foam pad you use?
