Karimatka Pinguin Fold XL Alu

Fold Alu

Very lightweight (480g) folding foam sleeping pad. The sleeping pad’s corrugated surface provides greater comfort with a lower weight.

The reflective aluminium layer on top reflects radiated body heat back to the sleeper for increased warmth at night. If you are not sure, sleep on the “silver” side, not the other way around.

Thanks to the fact the sleeping pad’s deformations fit together, we have also reduced its size when packed, although it is still relatively large. On the other hand, its weight and moisture resistance, mean it’s no problem to attach to the outside of a backpack, so you’re not limited by its size.

Since the sleeping pad is not inflatable, tears, burns or punctures do not prevent it from doing its job, and if damaged in this way it will not affect the quality of your sleep.

It is highly versatile, and in addition to its normal use the pad can also be used as a seat cushion (folded or semi-folded), a seating pad to protect against moisture, or as a shortened sleeping pad with its own pillow.

Summary of advantages

• Resilience: tears, cuts or burns will not affect the function of the sleeping pad
• Packability: easy to fold, lightweight, non-absorbent
• Easy to transport: can be easily attached to the outside of a backpack
• Versatility: can be used as a sleeping pad, a seating pad to protect against moisture, a low seat or shortened sleeping pad with its own pillow
• Reflective layer: a thin layer of aluminium increases the sleeping pad’s thermal resistance
