Without looking like it, the NeoLoft is a genuine sleeping pad for long-distance hiking. Inside and out, every element works together to deliver optimal comfort while remaining incredibly lightweight and easy to carry. The 3D construction gives the pad a thickness of almost 11.7 cm, making it an ideal choice for side sleepers. Vertical side walls connect the top and bottom, eliminating the rounded edges found on pads that don't feature this technology. This increases the sleeping surface by 20% and improves stability, preventing you from rolling off the pad during nighttime movements. The exterior of the NeoLoft is made from stretch knit fabric, a first for an inflatable sleeping pad. This material, similar to a technical base layer, offers multi-directional stretch and a softness significantly superior to the nylon fabrics typically used for camping pads. Thanks to this elasticity, it conforms more closely to the body and reduces pressure points by naturally adapting to the sleeper's shape. The ContourCore Matrix core is the central element that makes the NeoLoft a perfect pad for long-distance hiking. Its structure enables effective insulation by limiting convective heat loss through two superimposed rows of triangular air chambers. The ThermaCapture system reflects body heat back, ensuring an all-season R-value of 4.7. Pneumatic tubes have been integrated along the sides of the pad, forming side rails when inflated. These provide a tactile sense of the pad's edges, allowing you to naturally re-center yourself and avoid rolling off during the night. The NeoLoft features the TwinLock valve system, specifically designed for high-volume sleeping pads. This dual-valve system enables rapid inflation through a one-way inlet valve and efficient deflation via a dedicated outlet valve. Combined with a high-volume pump sack with reinforced seams, it inflates and packs away quickly and efficiently.
