This orange insulated pad blends warmth, cushion, and compact packing, making it a versatile companion for three-season trips and weekend treks alike. Its bright color helps you spot your setup at a glance, while its streamlined profile stays out of the way in your pack.

Warmth you can count on in changing seasons

• Quilted top creates a cushioned, bed-like sleeping surface for more restful mornings on the trail.
• Proprietary offset I-Beam construction reduces weight while preserving steady support.
• 3.5 inches of thickness with 4.25 inch outer chambers gently cradle you with minimal bounce.

Durable, ultralight materials built for the trail

• Made from superlight double ripstop nylon and aviation-grade TPU lamination for rugged performance and durability.
• Available in sizes from compact solo to spacious doublewide to fit different setups.
• Each pad undergoes factory inflation testing and is backed by a lifetime quality guarantee against manufacturing or material defects.

Inflation, setup, and what’s included

• High-volume valves with micro-adjustment enable quick inflation and precise firmness tuning.
• Includes the pumphouse high-volume inflation sack for fast, moisture-free setup.
• Protective storage sack and repair kit help extend life on long trips.

In real-world use, the Rapide SL shines on three-season treks where weight matters but comfort remains essential.
