EXTRA TIPS

Always carry the stuff pouch to protect the sleeping pad from any unclean, wet materials, or harmful components.

Your new sleeping pad has been folded, rolled, and stored since production. We recommend inflating it overnight with a closed valve before using it for the first time. If the sleeping pad has been stored for some time, follow the same steps.

The sleeping pad should not be left damp for an extended period of time. Moisture will build up, potentially damaging the fabric. The warranty does not cover this.

Do not overinflate as this will damage the sleeping pad.

Do not leave the product inflated with a closed valve in direct sunlight, in your car, or in your tent.

Do not expose the product to intense sunlight, hot objects, or flame.

Do not use the product as a float or for life-saving.

Do not use the product as a sliding pad.

Do not use an electronic pump or hand pump to adjust inflation.

Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine or DEET-based insect repellants and sunscreen.

Keep the product out of the reach of pets.

Protect the pad with a piece of protective fabric unless it's being used in a tent to avoid punctures from sharp objects.
