Rab Stratosphere 5.5 Sleeping Pad – Lightweight Insulated for Camping & Backpacking | Graphene – Regular

All-season warmth for backcountry nights

The Rab Stratosphere 5.5 sleeping pad is designed for real-world camping, from winter yurt trips to late-summer alpine treks. Its insulated air core pairs a 5.5 R-Value with 100% recycled Stratus insulation to strike a balance between warmth and compact packing.

A Graphene edition badge signals a focus on warmth efficiency, while the exterior fabric is recycled and treated with a fluorocarbon-free DWR to shed moisture inside damp tents. The result is a dry, comfortable surface that helps you sleep through fluctuating temperatures.

Smart, user-friendly setup

Inflation and deflation feel effortless thanks to a low-profile 2-way valve and a dedicated internal tab for micro-adjustments. The included stuff sack doubles as a pump for breath-free inflation, so you can get settled faster after a long day on the trail.
