Nomad 38

Large year-round mat with a pleasant, non-slip surface.

Main advantages

Low weight
Great poackability
Repair kit included
Non-slip surface

Used materials

Brushed polyester - non-skid, TPU Lamination
Brushed polyester laminated with thermoplastic polyurethane membrane for maximum reliability

To prevent air leakage through the top fabric of the mattress, an impermeable membrane is laminated to the polyester fabric. Laminating a continuous membrane instead of applying a coating eliminates the possibility of applying an uneven layer of coating, which could lead to the weakening of some parts and subsequent air leakage.

The brushed polyester gives a nice soft feel and prevents bunching.

Detailed Description

Larger area for greater comfort

If you are one of those who can afford to carry a bigger load, you will certainly be interested in the Nomad 38, which will provide you with the maximum possible comfort while still being reasonable in volume and weight.

It is wider than other models and does not narrow anywhere, so you will be able to roll over without falling off the mat.

In addition, its upper material is brushed polyester, which prevents the sleeping bag from sliding on the mat and is very pleasant to the touch.

Just like Sherpa type mattresses, foam with horizontal cavities is also used here, which significantly contributes to better packability and lower weight while maintaining thermal comfort.

Lamination

In order to prevent air leakage through the top fabric of the mattress, an impermeable membrane is laminated on the Polyester fabric. Lamination of a continuous membrane instead of applying a screed eliminates the possibility of applying an uneven layer of screed in places with material irregularities. This can lead to the application of an insufficient coating layer and air leakage in such affected areas. The use of PU foam with a thermally laminated membrane (TPU) is the highest quality material combination on the current market.

Foam

The core of every self-inflating mattress is the inner foam. Pinguin mattresses are filled with Polyurethane foam, the open pores of which retain air and thus give it excellent insulating properties. The foam has a very good shape memory, which contributes to its quick inflation and does not sag even after years of frequent use.

Valve

We purposefully use Nylon valves on our mats. The reason for their use instead of brass valves is their 100% tightness caused by the partial flexibility of the material, low weight and increased resistance to freezing. The nylon used on the valves is sufficiently strong and tough.

Foam with horizontal cavities

The use of horizontal cavities for lightening is the best compromise between insulating properties and the weight of the mattress. This type of relief has a high thermal resistance, because the air cylinder in the foam cavity is protected from the top and bottom by foam, which prevents the air in the cavity from cooling from the ground. Mattresses with this type of construction are suitable for four-season use.
