Many online retailers are dropping great deals on outdoor gear even before Black Friday begins. Outlets like Amazon and REI have big discounts on camping products like sharp Kershaw pocket knives, handy packable duffel bags, and even luxurious down sleeping bags. If you're looking to upgrade your sleeping kit, REI also has a killer deal on an inflatable sleeping pad, and it's a steal at under $60.
The Mountain Summit Gear Self-Inflating 2.5 Camp Pad is on sale for just $55, which is 50% off of the normal price of $110. This durable and comfortable sleeping pad has a solid dozen-plus five-star ratings from satisfied customers who say the camp pad is “great for sleeping” and “very spacious and comfortable.” Shoppers who’d like a slightly thinner and cheaper sleeping pad can also go for this one from Mountain Summit Gear while it's on sale for only $35.
Getting your outdoor sleeping system dialed in with a comfortable and durable sleeping bag and sleeping pad is a must for fully enjoying your time in the outdoors. This inexpensive but quality sleeping pad is thick and warm and is an essential addition to a camping kit. It gives you a handy self-inflating quick-release valve that’ll save your lungs when getting ready to hunker down at night. It’s a plush 2.5 inches thick, which will make any errant rocks or sticks underneath your tent disappear. It’s not the lightest pad out there at 4.5 pounds, so it’s better suited for car camping or overlanding, but the pad is covered in a durable ripstop polyester with a PVC coating and tough welded seams and it's is filled with comfy sponge foam, so durability and cushion will be tops. It also comes with a useful carrying bag and elastic straps to keep it rolled up tight.
Happy campers praised the sleeping pad’s comfort and warmth. "Never bottomed out the mattress even while sleeping on my side,” one shopper said. Another agreed, saying that it gave them “some of the best sleep I've had while camping.”
Other satisfied shoppers liked that the sleeping pad was simple to deploy and durable, especially for the price. “It inflates quickly and easily every time with no hassle and deflates into a small and easy-to-carry package,” said one customer. Another said, “I've bought a few camp pads, and out of all of them, this one has held up the longest through all my adventures.”
Having a durable and comfortable sleeping pad in your outdoor gear kit is a must, and this camp pad fits the bill. For just $55, you get a warm and spacious pad that will make your outdoor sleeping experience a cozy one. It’s on closeout, so it'd be wise to jump on this super-low price before other campers looking for comfort snap it up.
