3 vuodenajan makuupussi ja makuualusta alle 175 cm nukkujalle

The Trail Lite has been a part of the Thermarest lineup for years, with minor tweaks. Here’s the bottom line: this pad strikes a fantastic balance of durability, warmth and light weight. Its fabrics are much stronger than those used in the lightest pads, making it easy for us to recommend this pad for both frequent and infrequent use. It is also 38 mm thick which separates it from the most minimalist pads out there. This women’s model is much warmer than the men’s model.

• Regular size: 168 x 51 x 3.8 cm, narrower at the foot end
• R value (referring to how well the pad insulates): 4.5, suitable for 3-4 season use
• Surface and bottom fabrics: 50 denier polyester
• Easy to use WingLock valve
• The foam is lightly perforated for a great balance of warmth and light weight
• Stuff sack included

The Trail Lite is a part of the Thermarest Trek & Travel lineup. These products are highly comfortable, and more durable and a bit heavier than the products of the Fast & Light lineup.

Using a self-inflating mattress is easy: arriving at camp, you unroll it and open the valve. As you take care of other camp related business, the foam will start to regain its composure, sucking in air as it does so. Finish things off by closing the valve, or by blowing in a lungful of air and then closing it.

Leaving camp you just open the valve and roll the air away.

When storing the pad at home, you definitely want to keep the pad open, with the valve open as well. If the pad is stored in its stuff sack, the foam will lose its spring and the pad won’t self-inflate any more.

Deuter has managed to do something quite tricky here: they’ve produced a reasonably priced bag that does not lack in performance or quality. The Orbit -5 SL is perfect for slightly shorter users:

• No-worries High-Loft Hollowfibre tolerates moisture
• Fill amount: 850 grams
• SL size: suits up to 175 cm users
• Width at shoulders: 75 cm
• Width at foot box: 48 cm
• Thermal collar helps prevent heat leaks
• Small inner pocket
• Two-directional zipper: you can couple the bag with another Deuter bag, using their zippers
• Compression stuff sack
• PFC free

The choice of “left” or “right” tells which side the zipper is on when you are sleeping in it. Most right handed people choose a “left” bag and vice versa.
