Snugpak Antarctic Mat

Snugpak Antarctic Mat

In freezing weather, self‐inflating, rubber‐based mats often crack when rolled, and valves can freeze, rendering them useless. The Antarctic mat uses only sleeping bag insulation to prevent heat loss, so no need to worry about anything cracking or freezing. The Antarctic mat utilises a layer of sleeping bag insulation to prevent convective heat loss between your body and the ground. Any perspiration that is wicked away from your sleeping bag will also wick through to the bottom of the mat, leaving your sleeping bag dry.

The UK made Antarctic mat uses exclusive Softie Premier insulation, the same insulation used in all of Snugpaks' UK made sleeping bags.

Softie Premier – Insulation
As part of Snugpaks' continuing development process to keep their synthetic insulation at the leading edge they have introduced the next generation in sleeping bag technology. Softie® Premier uses the same basic principles as traditional Softie® but improvements in extrusion technology and binding resins result in a finer, softer and more durable insulation. Both Softie® and Softie® Premier are exclusive to Snugpak.
