Exped Ultra Sleeping Pad

Yes, with an R-value of 7.1 and 700-fill down insulation, this pad is specifically engineered for extreme cold. It provides significant thermal resistance against frozen ground, making it a reliable choice for winter backpacking.

You should avoid inflating it by mouth, as the moisture from your breath can compromise the down insulation over time. The included Schnozzel Pumpbag allows you to trap air and push it into the pad quickly, keeping the interior dry and clean.

The pad features comfort cradle side rails that are slightly raised compared to the center. This design helps keep you centered on the pad while you sleep, preventing you from sliding off the edges.

The pad is 3.5 inches thick when fully inflated. This provides ample loft to cushion you from rocks, roots, and uneven terrain, ensuring a stable and comfortable sleeping surface.

The 20D recycled ripstop polyester is chosen to balance weight savings with durability. While it is tough enough for most backpacking scenarios, you should always clear your campsite of sharp debris before setting up to protect the integrity of the pad.

No, a repair kit is not included with this specific model. We recommend purchasing a universal field repair kit separately so you can handle any unexpected punctures while on the trail.
