Karimatka Pinguin Matrix 25

Product detailed description

It’s no secret that the Matrix is simply the bigger twin of the Peak sleeping pad, so it’s especially suited to larger physiques.

Thanks to the use of vertical cavity construction and tapering in the leg area, we achieved even better packability while maintaining the same comfort.

The nylon screw valve is designed so that you won’t lose the cap. Plus, when inflating the pad, simply press and the valve closes, giving you plenty of time to screw it in.

Matrix sleeping pads are wider and longer and thus more suitable for users with a larger physique. If you have an athletic to slim build, we recommend considering the Peak 25 sleeping pad, which has identical features but a smaller surface area and is therefore lighter and more packable.

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.

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.

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.

The densely spaced vertical cavities in the foam guarantee the low weight and very good packability of the sleeping pad. This type of construction means the sleeping pad can be used from spring to autumn.
