Description

The Big Agnes Rapide SL Insulated is the updated superlight camping mat for those looking for the absolute maximum warmth for the lowest weight and smallest packsize. Starting at just 482g the Rapide SL Insulated will take up very little space in your pack and with an R-Value of 4.8 it offers reliable 3 season performance allowing for pretty much year round use in the UK. At 9cm thick it's also surprisingly comfortable for a mat in its weight class.

The Rapide SL is insulated with two layers of heat reflective film which is gives it an impressive warmth R-value of 4.8 while remaining very quiet. The mat is inflated using the provided upcycled pad inflation sack, this is easily operated/connected to the valve and fills the mat rapidly. It also doubles up as a lightweight stuff sack for the mat. The high volume valves with micro adjustments make for fast inflation/deflation and easy fine tuning to your preferred firmness. The Rapide SL Insulated uses durable, superlight nylon double ripstop fabric with incredibly strong TPU welded baffles.

This updated Rapide SL Insulated is lighter, warmer and more packable than the previous version.

These really are a huge step up compared to my old thermarest, easy to inflate, really really comfy. I'm terrified about punctures but I'm told it's durable.....we will see. It's quite noisy, the underside "squelches" when in direct contact with tent bottom.

Great service and product.

Super comfortable, very warm, packs really small and doesnt weigh too much - such a perfect sleeping mat!

Plus FaceWest is amazing - super fast delivery, love the reward scheme too. Amazing service

Super comfortable and very well made easy 10 out of 10

Outstanding item for the best nights sleep when camping!!!! Small, fantastic inflation, easy to deflate and pack away but most importantly super comfy! Don’t know why I have waited!

Only tested it so far in 3 season temperatures so 0°-4°, which it can easily cope with, however comfort is why I purchased this & it’s awesome. I was expecting bulkier & heavier but far from. It packs smaller than my ME downbag

Great bit of kit. After years of using foam roll mats, it is so much nicer having this. The pump sack is much better than previous big agnes ones, I would say about twice as quick to inflate, it's definitely worth the extra time over a basic roll mat. As for comfort, it is very comfy, but I would expect any air bed to be so comfy. There is a bit of rustle noise when you move. I haven't used it in any cold temperatures yet so can't comment on the insulation. But overall, a super roll mat. Very happy with this purchase.

Super comfy, a big upgrade over my 1990s Thermarest. Easy to inflate, deflate and packs away nicely. Inflation pressure is easily fine tuned via by short presses of the valve.
Great service as always from FaceWest.
