Karimatka Pinguin Skyline XL

Product detailed description

Made of proven polyester with a laminated impermeable membrane and diamond-shaped RipStop treatment that increases the fabric‘s durability and prevents further fraying in the event of a puncture.

The two valves are made of nylon and the release valve is also fitted with a silicone flap for a 100% seal.

The chambers of the sleeping pad are connected in an H-shape, which prevents thermal bridges and the air inside from swirling. What’s more, BHB microfiber insulation is glued to the inside of the chambers, which greatly increases thermal comfort.

Thanks to the built-in pump, you won’t have to struggle inflating the pad. Simply open the valve and after two minutes of stomping, you’ll be ready for bed.

In principle, the built-in foot pump is a very simple device. It consists of a chamber made of impermeable foam with a one-way flap and cap. After opening the cap, the chamber fills with air. Your job is to squeeze the whole chamber so that your foot plugs the opening and pushes the air out of the chamber through the flap into the sleeping pad. Then lift your foot to draw new air into the chamber from outside and press again as described above. Repeat this until the sleeping pad is inflated and then close the cap.

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 top and bottom fabrics are not joined directly, which would create thermal bridges, instead they are joined by a baffle that keeps its shape while providing perfect thermal insulation. In addition, a thin layer of BHB Micro synthetic insulation is attached to the inside of the chambers to maximize insulation, while having almost no effect on weight and packability.
