Here is my review of the superb Big Agnes Rapide SL Insulated Sleeping Pad. This inflatable sleeping pad is the regular-wide version. The Big Agnes Rapide SL inflatable sleeping mat comes in lots of sizes. Personally, I think this is the best winter sleeping pad out there as it ticks so many boxes including value for money too.

Big Agnes are well known for making some great camping gear. I think they got this insulated sleeping mat pretty much prefer. It strikes the perfect balance of size, weight, comfort, warmth, cost and value for money.

The compact size of this big agnes sleeping pad means it's the perfect piece of backpacking gear. The 4.2 R-Value means it's a great winter sleeping mat too.
