Exped Ultra 3R Sleeping Pad

With an R-value of 2.9, this pad is designed for shoulder-season excursions. It provides enough insulation for cool nights in spring and autumn, but it is not intended for deep winter camping or freezing temperatures.

While the tapered mummy shape is designed to save weight and pack space, the Comfort Cradle chambers help distribute air evenly. This provides a stable surface that generally accommodates side sleepers well, though those who prefer extra room for their legs may find it slightly narrow.

The pump bag acts as a bellows that you fill with air and then roll to push that air into the pad. It is a much more efficient and hygienic method than blowing into the valve, as it prevents moisture from your breath from accumulating inside the insulation.

No, a repair kit is not included with the Exped Ultra 3R. We recommend purchasing a universal patch kit separately to keep in your pack for emergency field repairs.

It is highly packable, measuring approximately 9.8 inches in length and 4.3 inches in diameter. Its small footprint makes it an excellent choice for ultralight backpacking, bikepacking, or any trip where space in your pack is at a premium.
