What is the Ultrasphere 1.5 Sleeping Mat?
It's a lightweight sleeping mat that offers maximum packability for adventures where every gram counts. Highly comfortable, it's the ideal mat for summer camping, trekking and multi-day mountain runs.
What is it made of?
The outer comprises 20D recycled polyester, which is super light yet durable enough to endure lots of use with a lesser impact on the planet. The material is coated with a TPU coating, and a fluorocarbon-free DWR (durable water repellent) that helps any light rain or coffee spills simply bead away instead of soaking in. Fluorocarbon-free DWR's are much healthier for the environment than conventional treatments, as they do not use harsh per-fluorinated chemicals.
What are its features?
A tapered mummy shape helps to save weight and bulk, and in total, the mat is roughly 8cm thick once inflated. Its innovative design features offset air chambers that disrupt the flow of convection currents and trap warm air inside the baffles, allowing you to get a restful night sleep without the need for high-volume insulation. The top fabric is lightweight and soft, adding to the overall comfort levels of the mat and reducing the amount your sleeping bag will slip and slide around as you fidget.
A pump sack is included, which helps speed up the inflation process in a more hygienic way. These pump sacks are designed to minimise moist air getting inside your mat as you blow it up, which can cause it to rot from the inside after heavy use and decrease the product's longevity. You blow a small amount of dry air into the bag, roll it and push the air through. It sounds like a long process, but it's surprisingly quick and easy! The process is made even easier with the low profile, two-way valve that eliminates the chance of air escaping as you pump it up yet allows fast deflation when needed.
A repair kit is included for emergencies, alongside a roll-away stuffsack for storing the mat.
