If you want to have a high-quality sleep
while camping in the wild, a comfortable sleeping pad is essential. I have used many types of sleeping pads outdoors over the years, and various moisture-proof pads not only have different effects in terms of price, but also different weights and volumes. Let??s first briefly understand the classification and characteristics of moisture-proof pads, and rate the different characteristics of different sleeping pads according to personal experience in outdoor and alpine climbing over the past few years.
Closed foam sleeping pad
This sleeping pad has a good The isolation effect can effectively isolate the cold air, and the thermal insulation effect is also good. Now many manufacturers have designed moisture-proof pads with silver reflection, which improve the effect of keeping warm. Most of the heat reflection values (R value) are around 3.5. However, the price has also soared. Common brands in the world are Therm-a-Rest in the United States, whose prices are often between 300-500, as well as domestic Shanzhiquan and NH Nokia, which are relatively priced relative to Therm-a-Rest. Rest is cheaper but the effect is really discounted.

Self-filling air pad

Inflatable sleeping pad
This sleeping pad combines the warmth of a foam sleeping pad with the comfort of an air sleeping pad, and enjoys a good reputation among climbers. With the advancement of technology and the use of new materials, the current inflatable sleeping pads have greatly improved in terms of durability, thermal insulation, and lightweight. In particular, the air cushion added with P cotton and thermal insulation material is more excellent in thermal performance. Well-known brands are: Therm-a-Rest, JRGEAR, Naturehike.

Many people have asked me if I can recommend the best sleeping pad? In fact, the sleeping pad is the same as other equipment. Different products have different characteristics. We need to choose one according to our common outdoor environment. A suitable sleeping pad. At the same time, we must also find a balance among the various characteristics of the sleeping pad, so as to choose a cost-effective sleeping pad. The price of Therm-a-Rest is a little expensive. The domestic JRGEAR and Naturehike are still acceptable in price. Not long ago, I noticed a JRGEAR inflatable sleeping pad. No matter the price, weight, volume, and R value, I suddenly had the urge to buy it.

Moreover, it is also very convenient to use with the air bag to inflate, and the thickness can reach 9CM when the amount of inflation is sufficient, which is very comfortable.
