What is the Rapide SL Insulated Sleeping Mat?
The updated Rapide SL Sleeping Mat is now suited to four-season use, making it a super versatile, warm camping mat to help you get a good night's kip, even when it's cold!
What is it made of?
Outer fabric: The exterior of the mat is made of superlight nylon double ripstop, which is incredibly durable for its weight. It's coated with an aviation-grade TPU lamination to enhance strength and durability for camping in the most rugged terrain, meaning it'll last you years of wear, no matter where you are. This material has a much quieter finish than many other pads on the market, keeping the annoying rustling sounds to a minimum as you find a comfy position to sleep in.
Insulation: Synthetic Primaloft® Silver insulation offers optimum breathability to enhance temperature regulation with an outstanding level of insulation to suit colder conditions.
Warmth is enhanced tenfold by the two layers of heat-reflective film on the inside of the face fabric. These layers reflect your body heat back into the mat instead of allowing it to escape into the cold ground, keeping you feeling warmer for however long you need.
What are its features?
A proprietary offset I-Beam construction helps reduce the mat's overall weight without compromising performance, providing consistent stability and comfort for wriggly sleepers. Quilting on the top also gives the pad a pillowy feel, so as soon as you close your eyes, you'll feel like your back at home... almost.
The quilted top gives this mat a cushioned, pillow-like surface for increased comfort.
Larger baffles on the outside cradle you and help you stay centred to ensure that you won't roll off in the middle of the night.
The high-volume valve allows for efficient inflation using the pump sack, fast deflation and adjustments to dial in the firmness of your mat. You also won't need to breathe yourself dizzy when pumping this mat up, as the pump sack takes a gentle breath each time and does the rest of the work for you!
An anti-microbial treatment in the pad helps to prevent microorganism growth, keeping mould from moisture and general bacteria at bay and increasing its longevity and performance.
Each Big Agnes mat gets its own seal of approval after being individually inflated and tested before leaving the factory, delivering guaranteed performance with every product.
Repair patches and a replacement valve seal are included in case your pad has really taken a battering. Big Agnes also advises adding a closed-cell foam pad underneath the mat when sleeping on frozen ground or snow for maximum performance and comfort.
