Big Agnes Rapide SL Insulated Backpacking Sleeping Pad

This pad is impressively lightweight and compact, making it easy to pack and carry on any backpacking trip. It weighs as little as 18 ounces (for the regular size) and packs down to about 4 x 7 inches, so it won’t take up much space in your bag. The 3.5-inch thick, offset I-Beam construction provides excellent comfort and stability, while the side rails help keep you centered throughout the night. With an R-value of 4.8, it offers reliable insulation for three-season use—keeping you warm on cool nights without feeling bulky. The durable ripstop nylon and aviation-grade TPU lamination add toughness, and the pad is quieter than many others, so you won’t be woken up by rustling every time you move. It’s also super easy to inflate and deflate, thanks to the high-volume valve and included inflation sack. This pad is ideal for backpackers, thru-hikers, or anyone who wants to try a cushy, supportive sleep system that’s quick to set up and comfortable in most outdoor conditions. The included repair kit and storage sack add even more convenience for renters.
