ALPS Mountaineering Flexcore Sleeping Pad

Yes. The system features an integrated Velcro connection that allows you to easily split the double pad into two individual pads, making it a versatile choice if you occasionally camp solo or need to accommodate different tent setups.

When you open the noncorrosive brass valves, the internal open-cell foam expands and draws air in automatically. While it will inflate most of the way on its own, you may need to add a few breaths of air to reach your preferred firmness.

With an R-value of 2.9, this pad is designed for three-season use. It provides sufficient insulation for spring, summer, and early autumn camping, but it is not intended for sub-freezing winter conditions.

The total system weighs 6.94 pounds. While it is not ultralight, it packs down to 26 inches by 6 inches and includes compression straps and a stuff sack, making it manageable for car camping or short trips where you aren't carrying it long distances.

The Flexcore includes a dedicated repair kit, which allows you to patch small punctures or leaks while you are out camping. It is a straightforward process, but we recommend testing the repair at home before your first trip to get comfortable with the kit.

The pad is 2 inches thick. This provides a solid balance between cushioning for side sleepers and a compact profile that doesn't feel like you are sleeping on a giant air mattress.
