Berghaus Air 10 Single Self Inflating Camping Mat with Carry Bag and Repair Kit, Air Bed for 1 Person, Compact Air Mattress, Camping Equipment, Blue, One Size

Product Information

The precision-cut foam aids packability, helping reduce the size of the mat when you’re transporting it between home and your tent. The Comfort 10 is available in single (200 x 60cm), grande (200 x 76cm) or double (200 x 130cm) sizes. The hood isn’t helmet-compatible, so there isn’t masses of material to cinch down when you’re not wearing one. Finally, it’s worth bearing in mind that you can add R-Values, so sleeping on two sleeping pads will maintain your heat better than one.

For example, latex mattresses tend to be more breathable, are hypoallergenic and deliver temperature-regulating functions which create an ideal respiratory sleeping environment. Helmet-compatible hoods should have volume adjusters so they can be reduced in size without affecting your vision for non-helmet wear. You’ve got everything you’d want from a good, reliable wet weather shell,” said Will Renwick who was on the jury that chose this as Highly Commended in The Great Outdoors Awards 2023. In addition to walking and backpacking, he’s a keen packrafter, cyclist and winter mountaineer, and a learner climber and skier. This is a self-inflating foam mattress with 5cm of thickness for the central portion and a single flip-valve.

Paramo waterproof jackets have two layers of material, one for wind deflection and the other for moisture removal. The jacket is suitable for both mountaineering and hillwalking, provided the over-sized hood is worn. Kampa have made it exceptionally easy to inflate and deflate the Kip Highrise, and this is one of its major strengths.

We also tuck our electrical cables underneath it if the hookup is on the opposite side of the tent to the kitchen.However, if you’re still on the fence and want to look at some more options, here are some great alternatives to consider. It features Gore-Tex Active, a lightweight version of Gore’s three-layer waterproof fabric that’s designed for high levels of breathability. Adjusting the hood isn’t that smooth, but when done correctly, it does at least offer excellent protection. The two hand pockets are a decent size and are placed high enough to stay out of the way of a backpack hip belt.

If they do get filthy, then you can probably hose or pressure wash them but you will need a decent size outdoor space and somewhere to dry it out. which is pretty decent for cold weather camping, but not quite on a par with the Outwell Dreamcatcher.This fabric has a good quality feel to it too; it’s soft to the touch and quiet and there’s a slight stretch to it. We tested our review unit in the summer and so were unable to use it directly on cold ground, so please bear this in mind. If you are planning to use it on top of a camp bed then this is an important consideration – you might be a foot off the floor! Features include a soft fabric chin guard, an adjustable helmet-friendly hood, Velcro cuffs and glove-friendly zip pulls. which is manageable for a hike with an overnight stop – for longer expeditions you would likely require something fully air-inflatable with less bulk when packed.

It uses a novel ‘wave-like’ top surface layer to provide a tactile 150D surface to lie on and hold your sleeping bag in position. Nothing quite beats cooking outdoors, and if you want to take your alfresco cooking experience up a notch, consider investing in a quality camping stove.

The question of camping with your partner using a double bed/mattress vs 2 x singles is a perennial one.
