Exped Ultra 3R

With an R-value of 3.2, this pad is designed for three-season use. It will keep you comfortable during spring, summer, and fall, but it is not intended for freezing winter temperatures or snow camping.

The Schnozzel pumpbag is a lightweight dry bag that doubles as an inflation tool. It allows you to fill the pad with air in seconds without introducing moisture from your breath, which helps keep the internal insulation dry and effective over time.

While the rectangular shape offers more room for your feet and legs compared to tapered pads, it does have a larger footprint. It fits well in most standard one-person tents, but if you are using an ultralight bivy or a very tight shelter, you may want to double-check your floor dimensions.

The side rails are slightly thicker than the rest of the pad, which creates a subtle cradling effect. This helps keep you centered on the mat throughout the night and prevents you from rolling off the edges.

The 20D ripstop polyester is chosen to balance weight and durability. While it is tough enough for most backpacking trails, you should always clear your campsite of sharp rocks or sticks before laying it down to avoid punctures.

Yes, a repair kit is included with the pad. It contains patches and adhesive, allowing you to make quick field repairs if you encounter a puncture.
