Karimatka Pinguin Sherpa 38

Popis produktu

You need better thermal insulation in spring, autumn and winter. This is directly related to the thickness of the material. This increased thickness means horizontal cavities can be used instead of vertical cavities, which have much better thermal resistance than the latter, while still being light and easy to pack. The Sherpa 38 has a brushed polyester surface to prevent the sleeping bag from sliding off the pad

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 use of horizontal cavities to reduce 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.
