Karimatka Pinguin Horn 20 Long

Product detailed description

The Horn range is designed with an emphasis on simplicity and low cost, while maintaining high quality and durability. The Horn uses full polyurethane foam without molding or perforations and has a standard rectangular shape, in this case extended by 14 cm compared to the standard Horn. The surface material has RipStop diamond-shaped treatment to prevent the material from fraying in the event of a puncture. The valves are made of nylon, which makes them very durable with excellent sealing thanks to their partial elasticity. The valve closes when pressed, giving enough time for it to be screwed in and fully sealed.

Lamination

To prevent air leaking through the pad’s top material, an impermeable membrane has been laminated to the polyester fabric. Laminating a continuous membrane instead of applying a coating eliminates the risk of uneven coating in areas where the material is uneven. This can lead to insufficient coating being applied and air leaking out in the affected areas. The use of PU foam with a thermally laminated membrane (TPU) is the highest quality combination of materials on the market today.

Foam

The core of every self-inflating sleeping pad is the inner foam. Pinguin sleeping pads are filled with Polyurethane foam, whose open pores retain air, thus giving it excellent insulating properties. The foam has a very good shape memory, which helps it inflate rapidly and means it does not sag even after years of frequent use.

Valve

We intentionally use Nylon valves on our sleeping pads. The reason for using them instead of brass valves is that they are 100% air-tight due to the material’s partial elasticity, their low weight and greater resistance to freezing. The nylon used on the valves is sufficiently strong and tough.

Full foam

Full foam with no lightening components is the most comfortable construction with the best insulating properties, though at the cost of high weight and poorer packability. Sleeping pads with this type of construction can be used year-round, but, due to their high weight, they are not ideal for hiking.
