Ultralight 17oz Camping Sleeping Pad Apolloair

Norman H.

Excellent value for such a compact, warm, lightweight pad.

A really well put-together piece of kit. I am pursuing a highly unusual "no-rucksack" approach to wild-camping and mountain-running, so I needed the smallest, lightest winter pad I could get my hands on. The Apollo met the brief in every particular - it tucks neatly into the side-pouch of my waist-pack yet unfurls into 3.2" of cosy plushness. As a test, I slept on the summit of England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike (3209', 978m) on pretty much the longest night of the year and was plenty comfortable Temperature was around 0C/32F. I have submitted a more detailed write-up of my experience to

Fantastic mat

Use in the winter on the snow and was great 🤗

Great product and excellent value

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

A good night's sleep

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.

Comfortable, warm, great quality 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.

comfy

seems weird to open valve too inflate and deflate but i used outside in cold weather and it did good

Solid!

I bought this to take with me to Glastonbury 2022 and not only is it light and really compact when rolled up it is tough! I've had camping mats fail on me after a couple of days but with this I have so much confidence that it'll last and worth paying that bit more for. It's a large design and inflates nicely on it's own with just a bit of topping up needed to really strengthen it. Kept me warm and comfortable over the five nights and is even better when paired with a camping bed! Hope to have this for all my future camping adventures A+

Well made product of the highest quality.

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.

Awesome compact Matt

Great Matt. We’ve used it and it’s durable and comfortable. We take it with us on our travels and it’s compact enough to take on my carry on. Highly recommended!
