Self Inflating Sleeping Pad - Four Season Camping pad-1.5-3.2 Inch Thick Air Foam Hybrid- Ultralight Perfect Size Mattress for Camping Backpacking Travel with Insulation for Cold Winters

I’ve used the Four Season Cam self-inflating sleeping pad a few times now, and overall, it’s a solid product. It offers great comfort and insulation, especially in colder conditions, and the self-inflating feature works well without much effort. However, the reason I’m giving it 3 stars is the weight. It’s noticeably heavy, which makes it less ideal for backpacking or lightweight travel. If you're car camping or don’t mind the extra bulk, it’s a great choice. But for those looking to keep their gear light, this might be a drawback. Still, the quality and comfort are there—it just depends on your needs.

This is a really well made and comfortable mat. It self inflates within minutes and if you prefer you can just add a bit more sturdiness by blowing a few breaths of air into the nozzle. I was camping in the Cairngorms last week in winter conditions and have used various other mats made by other companies in similar situations but none of them kept me as warm in my sleeping bag as my Gear Doctors one. The actual owner of the family based company Mike has personally contacted me for my opinion of his product and asked if I have had any problems with it which I haven't but was told by him that if there happened to be in the future he assured me that he has given all of his products a warranty that he will stand by 100% I have purchased many products from numerous sellers and have never been notified personally by the owner of the company and to me that speaks volumes of how much pride he takes in both the quality of his work and the opinion and aftercare of his customers. I have already been recommending Gear Doctors to some of my climbing colleagues.

Liviano, en volumen si ocupa bastante. Aisla muy bien del suelo y no permite el paso del frío o humedad. Si no tienes tema con el volumen que ocupará en tu mochila, siempre cárgalo, te ayudará contra el frío. Lo probé en el Iztaccihuatl, en dos fechas , ambos por debo de 0 grados C.

I’m 6’4” tall, around 225 with broad shoulders. I searched all over, watched reviews, compared prices, and this pad stood out from the rest for its R value, compact storage size, and price. I was looking for a 3-4 season compact pad for backcountry camping in Canada that was not ridiculously expensive. This pad is a little short for my height, and just fits my shoulder width, but i fully expected that from the advertised dimensions and if anything it seems a little bigger than I expected. The parts of you that contact the ground when laying flat on your back are a little less than your full height and width. Most things aren’t designed for a person my size. I received the sleeping pad a few weeks ago, inflated it and have kept it inflated as they recommend ever since. Slept on it a few times in the basement to test it out. My thoughts so far: Pros: Comfort. Much better than any air mattress I’ve slept on, I believe due to the insulating foam. Warmth, again better than any air mattress due to the foam. Compact size and weight, I got it for backpacking and based on my testing I believe it will work great. Price, much better than most sleeping pads with similar R values. Quality. Seems to be high quality for a great price. My toddler jumped all over it and it held my 225lbs with no issue, did not deflate and no part of me touched the ground or even felt like it came close. Cons: Size. This isn’t really a con, the size is as advertised and with me sleeping high with a pillow just above and on the top it works for me. I imagine if I moved around a lot in my sleep I could slide off but I generally don’t. I’m taking it camping soon and will update my review if I run into any issues but based on my testing I expect it to perform well. Update: Worked great camping, definitely recommend.

These pads are very warm, quiet and sturdy. Even as side sleepers, they don't bottom out for my spouse or myself. The self inflation works well - twenty minutes to prepare and eat dinner is more than enough. Just don't absentmindedly leave your pack on it while it's supposed to be inflating. The pad is also surprisingly easy to squeeze out and pack up in the morning - there are even instructions on the bag in case you forget how it folds. Despite nights on sharp rocky ground, these pads have held up well so far, but it's also nice to know there are patches in the bag just in case. Although heavier and bulkier than many of the inflatable backpacking pads, these are surprisingly packable as self-inflating options go. My spouse consistently finds the comfort well worth the extra ounces pack weight. I might pick my inflatable for more strenuous trips, but it's case by case, and we both like these pads for car camping. I'm really glad I took a chance on these. Certainly for the price, they are an amazing bargain.

The first time I inflated it, it looked a bit thin but after blowing into it a few times and lying down on it, the support for my back was excellent
