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.
