Astro Insulated Sleeping Pad

Primaloft is a lightweight, synthetic insulation material that provides excellent warmth and water resistance. It's commonly used in outdoor gear, including sleeping pads, because it helps keep you warm without adding extra weight. This is especially important for camping and backpacking, where every ounce counts.

The R-Value measures a material's thermal resistance, indicating how well it insulates against cold. A higher R-Value means better insulation. For example, a sleeping pad with an R-Value of 2.6 is suitable for temperatures down to 15°F, making it a good choice for cooler camping conditions.

A stuff sack is a compact bag designed to store and compress your sleeping pad, making it easier to carry in your backpack. It helps keep your gear organized and saves space, allowing you to pack more efficiently for your outdoor adventures.

Horizontal baffles are internal compartments within a sleeping pad that run across its width. This design helps distribute air evenly, providing better support and comfort while you sleep. It prevents the pad from feeling lumpy and ensures a more restful night's sleep.

A beefy baffle refers to a thicker section of the sleeping pad, usually located at the head area. This feature provides extra support for your head, making it feel more like a pillow. It enhances overall comfort, allowing you to sleep better during your outdoor trips.

While you can use a sleeping pad with a lower R-Value in colder conditions, it may not provide adequate insulation, leading to discomfort during the night. For temperatures below 15°F, it's recommended to choose a sleeping pad with a higher R-Value to ensure you stay warm and comfortable.
