The Highlander Kip Self-Inflating Sleeping Mat is an ideal choice for backpackers and campers who need a lightweight, reliable barrier against cold, uneven terrain. By providing 3cm of foam insulation, it significantly improves thermal comfort during three-season adventures, though its fixed thickness may feel firm for those accustomed to thick air-mattresses.

This mat is designed for three-season use with an R-Value of 3.2. It is not recommended for severe winter or sub-zero temperatures.
The product includes the mat and a stuff sack; a repair kit is generally recommended as an add-on for long-term trail safety.
Once the mat has self-inflated, you can manually blow into the valve to add extra pressure until it reaches your desired firmness.
The exterior is constructed from durable polyester designed to be tough enough for outdoor use.
It is best to store the mat in a dry location with the valve open to allow the foam to maintain its loft over time.
Ensure the valve is fully open and allow it to sit for a longer period. If it is new, it may take extra time for the foam to expand for the first time.
Check the valve for debris or blockage. Ensure the valve is tightened firmly after reaching your desired firmness.
Open the valve fully and start rolling from the end opposite the valve to push the air out. Once finished, close the valve before storing in the stuff sack.
Setup is straightforward: unroll the mat, open the dual-layer valve, and allow it to expand. Once fully inflated, tighten the valve to retain air. For care, always clear the ground of sharp rocks or twigs before laying the mat down to prevent punctures. To clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and ensure the mat is completely dry before rolling it up for long-term storage, as trapped moisture can cause mildew. Always store the mat in a cool, dry place with the valve open to keep the foam fresh.
