Karimatka Pinguin Nomad 38

Popis produktu

If you are someone who can carry a heavier load, the Nomad 38 will certainly be appealing. It gives maximum comfort while still maintaining reasonable volume and weight.

It’s wider than other models and doesn’t taper anywhere, so you’ll be able to roll around without falling off the sleeping pad. Moreover, its surface material is brushed polyester, which prevents the sleeping bag from slipping on the mat and is very pleasant to the touch.

As with the Sherpa, foam with horizontal cavities has been used, which significantly improves packability and lowers weight, while maintaining thermal comfort. To prevent air leaking through the pad’s top material, an impermeable membrane has been laminated to the polyester fabric. Laminating a continuous membrane instead of applying a coating eliminates the risk of uneven coating in areas where the material is uneven. This can lead to insufficient coating being applied and air leaking out in the affected areas. The use of PU foam with a thermally laminated membrane (TPU) is the highest quality combination of materials on the market today.

The core of every self-inflating sleeping pad is the inner foam. Pinguin sleeping pads are filled with Polyurethane foam, whose open pores retain air, thus giving it excellent insulating properties. The foam has a very good shape memory, which helps it inflate rapidly and means it does not sag even after years of frequent use.

Nylon valves are used on Pinguin sleeping pads. The reason for using them instead of brass valves is that they are 100% air-tight due to the material’s partial elasticity, their low weight and greater resistance to freezing. The nylon used on the valves is sufficiently strong and tough.

The use of horizontal cavities to reduce the weight is the best compromise between the insulating properties and weight of the pad. This type of weight reduction has a high thermal resistance as the air cylinder in the foam cavity is protected at the top and the bottom by foam, which prevents air in the cavity from being cooled by the ground. Sleeping pads with this type of construction are suitable for four-season use.
