R8.8 Ultralight Sleeping Pad
- R-value 8.8 from 510 g
- 12 cm thickness
- Silver reflective coating
The R8.8 Sleeping Pad is built for genuine winter conditions. A silver coating on the inside of the shell reflects body heat back at you instead of letting it drain into the ground, which is how it reaches an R-value of 8.8 from 510 g. The 12 cm profile is the deepest in the ultralight range.
Best for
Winter and expedition camping, snow, and high-altitude nights where ground insulation is the difference between sleeping and not.
Not ideal for
Warm-weather trips, where the R3.5 or Fish Bone give enough insulation without paying for what you will not use.
Additional features
- Naturehike NKTR construction reflects radiated body heat back towards you
- Inflator bag included, which doubles as a cushion
- Available as an envelope or a mummy, in two envelope sizes
- 20D nylon with TPU coating keeps the shell light at this thickness
