A winter insulated air pad, R 7.6 (maker's figure), 199 × 58 × 9 cm and 777 g, with five layers of reflective film inside 20D nylon and TPU. Packs to about 26.5 × 17 cm in a pump sack.

The ground stops stealing your heat.

Best for: Winter camping, high country, and cold sleepers all year.
Think twice if: At 777 g it's heavier than a three-season pad. For summer, the Ultralight Insulated Air Pad in R 3.5 is lighter.

Inflates without breath moisture inside, then carries the pad.

How warm a mat do you need?

R-value measures how well a mat stops the ground pulling heat out of you. Higher is warmer, and R-values add up when you stack two mats. This one is R 7.6.

Trip	Overnight low	Look for	This mat
Summer and warm nights	Above 10°C	R 1 to 2	Warm enough
Three seasons	0 to 10°C	R 2 to 4	Warm enough
Cold nights and frost	−5 to 0°C	R 4 to 5	Warm enough
Winter and snow	Below −5°C	R 5 and up	Warm enough

R-values are the makers' own figures, and we say on each page who measured them. The industry test is ASTM F3340; not every maker uses it. A mat under a down bag matters as much as the bag: down underneath you is crushed flat, so below freezing the mat does most of the work.

Questions

What does the R-value mean?

It measures how well the mat stops the ground pulling heat out of you. As a rough guide: about 2 for summer, 2 to 4 for three seasons, 4 to 5 for cold nights and frost, and 5 or more on snow. R-values add up, so a foam mat under an inflatable adds its R-value.

Is it noisy?

Some insulated mats rustle when you roll over, because of the reflective layer inside. If it's a concern, the product notes above say what the maker uses inside.

What if it gets a puncture?

Carry the repair patches that come with it. Find the leak by listening, or with soapy water, then clean, dry and patch. Put a groundsheet or footprint under your tent and clear sharp sticks before you pitch.

When will it arrive?

We dispatch in 1–3 business days, then it's 10–20 business days on the way to Australia. There's no warehouse or shopfront in between, which is why it takes longer and costs less. If you have a trip booked, order at least four weeks before you leave. You'll get a tracking number by email when the parcel is scanned. Full details on the Shipping page.

Will my order arrive in one parcel?

Gear from the same maker usually travels together. If your order has gear from more than one maker, it can arrive in two or three parcels, sometimes a few days apart. You'll get an email with a tracking number for every parcel, so you always know what's on the way.

Will I pay duty or GST on delivery?

No. Orders under A$1,000 clear into Australia without additional duty or GST, so there's nothing to pay when your parcel arrives.

What if it isn't right?

You have 30 days from delivery to return it unused and in its packaging. If it's faulty or doesn't match what we published, we pay the return postage and refund in full. See Returns.
