Reflective Camping Mat ― Water Resistant and Insulating ― Easy Storage and Carry Handle ― Stay Warm and Dry Outdoors!

One thing that most people do not seem to grasp about sleeping mats is that they're primarily for insulation and not for cushioning. Generally speaking, the more the mat is cushioned, the bulkier and heavier it is. This mat weighs practically nothing - OK, 100g, which is insignificant, and it also folds up into a really small package. The great thing about the aluminised surface coating is that it reflects heat in the same way that it reflects light (elementary physics!), thus reflecting back the heat from your body while keeping out the cold. There is also a thin layer of foam between the aluminised sheets in the mat's construction and this contributes to its insulative qualities whilst also providing a modicum of cushioning. I've used this item both on the ground and within a hammock and I have no hesitation in saying that this is far superior to a normal closed cell mat. For added comfort and insulation I use a self-inflating mat in addition, thus enjoying the best of both worlds. This mat is inexpensive, light, waterproof, compact, comfortable, easy to clean and provides highly efficient insulation. You could, of course, use a car windscreen sun reflector - it's made of the same stuff, but this mat is longer and wider and you haven't got a cut-out half way down to allow for a rear-view mirror! Highly recommended.

Highlander Reflective Camping Mat. I like it. Decent barrier between me and the ground. I used it and found it worked pretty good. Used a tarp to form my tent, had this as my footprint. The ground was wet and it was around 4C. I sat half on the mat while I was getting my sleeping bag into my bivi bag. I could feet the difference between my legs, one on the mat, one off of the mat. If you expect it to give more comfort from lumpy ground, forget it. It's a thermal barrier not a padded mat. If you expect it to stop the ground leeching your warmth away as it would normally do, yep, it works. Packs away fairly compact, not too heavy. I'd have liked a bit thicker but then it would be heavier. I like it lightweight as everything I'm using, I carry on my back. I've tried numerous ways in the past, even used a mylar type blanket (which was brilliant until it tore) and this is one of the better ways. It did what I wanted it to do, it kept me warmer. I can't comment on durability yet

As I've seen in other reviews it does seem a bit fragile but with care I think it'll be ok. I bought mine to mostly act as a protective layer under my air mat whilst offering some heat reflection. Great so far. I noticed the difference between sitting on the tent floor and sitting on this so it does offer some insulation and / or heat reflection.

I ordered this mat as a lightweight addition to my usual campermat and noticed the difference on the very first night. I cycle-tour with a backpacking tent and camp on a range of surfaces including frozen and/or damp ground and although conventional 8-10mm closed cell foam campermats provide good insulation on a tent groundsheet, this adds noticeable extra warmth. It can be used either beneath the standard campermat or above which is how I use it. It can slip a little beneath a restless sleeper unless it's taped into place using a small piece of gaffer tape but it is definitely worth having. Within minutes of laying on it in the coldest weather, I am conscious of my body warmth being reflected back via the mat producing a cosy warmth and it guards against chills from sleeping on cold or damp ground. It is now a part of my cooler weather camping kit which I would highly recommend for anyone sleeping on cold, damp, wet or frozen ground. Note - it is thin so is not designed to provide soft padding. Nor is it a mat to use alone but works really well together with a closed-cell foam campermat or a self-inflating mat. It can be rolled up still attached to a closed-cell foam campermat and is worth every gram of its 100g weight and low price for the additional warmth it provides for cool-weather camping.

Bought on recommendation from a friend who uses this for his hammock, you lay on it or like my Dd Camp you can fit it between the material. Works okay, helps you stay a bit warmer, and slightly less need for an underquilt. I used this on a cheap air mattress too, made a difference as they are quite cold. The only issue is they are quite delicate, I don't think it will last long and perhaps a army wool blanket would be a longer lasting option. Also it does slide about in a hammock, which it to be expected.

Kept me warm

I think to call this padded is somewhat misleading. The mat is very thin and offers very little padding to protect the user from bumps and lumps underneath. I bought this to go inside my hammock so the padding or lack of it isnt an issue. The silver covering does add warmth and the pack size is small and the weight is very low so for me its perfect. if you intend to sleep on the floor with just this under you then be careful as it will not add much comfort.

Cheap, not used it yet, not expecting it to be anything special, just to help that little bit more in the cold with my two mats.

Hola, ..pues eso es una esterilla fina, de generosas dimensiones para ser para una persona. Obviamente se trata de una esterilla enfocada para ser usada como porj. capa base o segunda capa de aislamiento para dormir en tiendas de campaña, refugios o simplemente en camping. nunca como una capa de aislamiento única. En mi caso, me la compré para usarla dentro de hamaca como aislante adicional y protección contra ""el culo frío"" que todos que usan hamacas en sus salidas outdoor saben que es. ;-) Está bien rematada por los bordes, cosida con doble refuerzo y además trae una goma doble para poder mantenerla enrollada. Un muy buen producto de marca Highlander relación precio / calidad inmejorable. Servicio por parte de Amazon con envío en menos de 24 horas impecable. Recomendaría su compra. El producto me lo he comprado yo, por mi dinero para mi personal uso y disfrute.:-) Saludos y gracias.

Buscaba una esterilla delgada,no como las esterillas normales de espuma,sino más delgadita y que me hiciera una base aislante para poner la colchoneta encima. Y estoy contento con ella porque ocupa muy poco enrollada,unos 35cm o menos. Es un producto sencillo sin más misterio,pero que está bien acabado,por un lado plateado y por debajo blanco tipo espuma,es bastante larga para cubrir la colchoneta,por lo que me parece bien recomendable la esterilla de esta marca.

Perfecto aislante tanto para tienda como para hamaca, con un peso ultraligero y muy alta calidad con precio excelente, era justo lo que necesitaba para mis salidas.

Pésima calidad, el material de desgarra muy fácilmente a lo largo de las costuras!
