Karimatka Pinguin Sherpa 30

Popis produktu

Three-season sleeping pad with an anti-slip surface.

It’s not always possible to find a nice flat surface when camping, and we all know that sinking feeling of slowly sliding down a smooth sleeping pad to wake up on the cold ground. That‘s why we used brushed polyester for the Sherpa and Nomad. Not only do they have a nice suede feel, but they also create more friction between the sleeping bag and the sleeping pad.

Thanks to vertical perforation, we achieved a 3 cm thick sleeping pad that is very comfortable, while being light and easy to pack.

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 intentionally 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 densely spaced vertical cavities in the foam guarantee the low weight and very good packability of the sleeping pad. This type of construction means the sleeping pad can be used from spring to autumn.
