Rapide Sl 25 Inch

While this is not the most “ultralight” pad on the market, it has performed phenomenally for me. I use it backpacking and bike-packing and it has not failed me in the slightest. It’s generally quiet, very comfortable for me as a side/rotating sleeper, and packs down light and small enough. Pairs well with a quilt and a mummy bag. I’m a big fan of the wide, even as a small person (5’6, 120lbs)

The Best Upgrade For A Good Night Sleep

Honestly, I’ve had the best night sleep camping that I’ve had in years. I’m not exaggerating. This pad has upgraded my sleeping system tremendously- it’s well structured and perfectly cushioned for side sleepers. May be a little heavier than some other pads out there but the good night sleep is worth it!!

Comfy But Unreliable

When it works, this pad feels great. But I've now patched its third uncaused slow leak in three years. In cold conditions, that's simply too great a risk. You're better off buying a cheap option when it breaks this much.

Very Comfortable

Took this on a trip to Bowron Lakes, I was warm and comfortable and had extremely good sleep. It packs down very small and the included inflation sack works really well. I got the wide/regular and my shoulders were very happy about it. Highly recommend this for anyone.

Very Light Comfortable And Compact, Hard To Pack

This mattress is light and comfortable, just hard to get back into the stuff sack

Used it recently on a trip out in Europe as bedding for an old cot and wow it was amazing. It was very comfortable and the sides held me in place well. However I did find it tended to slide around on the cot. Would probably have worked better on the ground. Highly recommended this for anyone. It definitely a higher end piece but if you do alot of camping it will definitely pay off in the long end

Well Rounded Mat

I got the double wide Rapide SL for my wife and I and we love it. Comfy enough for us both to get a good nights sleep if the other is tossing and turning, retains heat on cooler nights (haven't taken it out in proper cold yet), and packs up pretty small. It can look big for a mat when packing it, but then I remember that it's replacing two mats, not one!

Soft And Comfy, Even For A Side Sleeper

This sleeping pad is wonderful! I have used it a few times on camping trips. It holds its form nicely and allows me to sleep on my side without feeling the ground. I am a bigger guy (6'4', 240), and it's a great length. I cannot comment on the durability as I have not used it enough.

Great sleeping pad. The side rails made me feel supported. The 25" is definitely the way to go, in my opinion, for a little extra room. I felt warm and supported on it.

Comfortable And Packable

This mat is a big improvement on the previous version which had different insulation. It's now warmer, lighter and considerably more packable. I use it for bikepacking and hiking. It's a thick mat, so it's super comfortable, and the fabric is tough enough to resist punctures so far. No trouble with delaminating at the welds either. Recommended for 3-4 season use.

Stuff Sack Works If You Have A Hydraulic Press

I absolutely love this sleeping pad, beats most others I've slept on. Used in the winter, and was good enough to keep me warm. On that note though, it can be a little too hot in the summer if you are like me and run hot. Super comfortable. The inflation sack is extremely helpful and handy. I also and happy that there is an included patch kit, which luckily I have never had to use. It works great for things as simple as a quick nap in the back of my truck. My biggest beef is the stuff sack. I have been able to fit it back in, but it has always taken multiple attempts, needing to use a table or solid surface. It is much more complicated and difficult on uneven ground and/or soft ground, since you have to be extremely precise and it needs a lot of pressure to get it to the correct size and shape in order to fit in the stuff sack. I have given up on it's stuff sack, and Instead just roll it up and use rubber bands to store it. Really the only thing that this sleeping pad needs improved is the stuff sack could be a bit bigger.

Lightweight + Comfortable

I loveeee my Rapide! I use it for everything from backpacking to overnight car camps. I especially love the limited edition anniversary print! It’s so unique and fun! Can’t wait to use it this summer!

Light And Comfortable At A Good Price

Absolute best bang for your buck sleeping pad. Seems to be quite durable, and it is very comfortable and warm given its weight. Would recommend it and have already bought another for my wife.

Finding the right sleeping air pad can be tricky. I have used a few over the years, and found this one to stay warm and comfortable. Whether I am on my back or my side, it provides comfort and support.

Super Comfortable

Extremely comfortable and warm. I just wish I would have ordered the wider version. Made a little noise when adjusting my position but it wasn't enough to keep anyone awake. I use half of a poncho liner to cover up and I am good. It's lightweight, easy to pack, easy to fill with the provided bladder thingy. It fit nicely in my Eberlestock pack.
