Why This Matters
Sleeping on cold ground without insulation drains body heat up to 25 times faster than cold air. Most sleeping bags rated to 20F become insufficient without an insulating pad underneath because the insulation compresses under your body weight losing most of its thermal value. A closed-cell foam pad prevents this ground heat loss completely.
Product Description
Real Use Case
You are spending the night outdoors during a winter evacuation in 25 degree weather. Your sleeping bag is rated to 15F. Without a sleeping pad the cold ground conducts heat away from your body at a dangerous rate and your sleeping bag cannot compensate. With your closed-cell foam pad underneath you sleep comfortably through the night waking rested and warm enough to continue your evacuation at dawn.
