Stay warm, sleep comfortably, and lighten your load with this versatile Sleeping Mat for Hiking. Ideal for New Zealand adventurers, this closed-cell foam mat offers reliable insulation and multi-use functionality. Whether you're using it as your primary sleeping pad or as an extra layer under your inflatable mat, it helps prevent cold seeping from the ground into your sleep system. Even better, it doubles as a structural frame insert for frameless ultralight backpacks like our Ultralight Weight Backpack.
This hiking mat is made from XPE foam, known for its closed-cell properties. That means it doesn't absorb moisture and continues to insulate even in wet conditions. At just 340 grams, it won't weigh you down. Yet, it delivers dependable cushioning and an estimated R-value of 2.5 – ideal for spring, summer, and mild autumn tramping in New Zealand.
Because of its blue and black dual-tone design, you can quickly orient the mat for different terrain. Use the black side down to resist marks from muddy or rocky ground, while the blue side keeps your gear looking clean. With a generous size of 190 cm x 56 cm, the mat offers full-body coverage for most adults without taking up much room when rolled or folded.
For those following an ultralight hiking strategy, pairing this Sleeping Mat for Hiking with our frameless pack adds structure while eliminating the need for heavier gear. It’s perfect for alpine hut stays, summer tramping, or use in wet and muddy areas where inflatable mats may be at risk of puncture.
Additionally, when used under inflatable air mattresses, it boosts warmth and protects from rough terrain, extending the lifespan of your more delicate gear. In an emergency, the mat can also serve as a groundsheet or windbreak. With its closed-cell design, it's easy to wipe down, fast to dry, and always ready for your next adventure.
Whether you're hiking above the bush line or bunking down in a hut, this simple yet effective mat is a smart and dependable part of your gear list.
Choose this reliable Sleeping Mat for Hiking and enjoy the benefits of warmth, versatility, and lightweight performance, all in one compact mat. Perfect for minimalist hikers, trampers, and alpine travellers across New Zealand.
