FAQs
What is the R-Value and what does it mean?
The R-Value indicates the mat's thermal resistance or insulation capability. A higher R-Value means better insulation. An R-Value of 4.0 signifies that this mat is suitable for year-round use, providing good warmth even in colder conditions.
How do I clean the Vango Trek Pro 3 Short mat?
Clean the mat using a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely before storing. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Is this mat suitable for tall people?
No, this is the 'Short' version, designed for smaller users or those who prefer a more compact option. Taller individuals may find their feet hang off the end and should consider the regular or long versions if available.
How is the TrekEco™ fabric environmentally friendly?
TrekEco™ fabric is made from 75D ripstop polyester that is sourced from recycled materials, reducing waste and the environmental impact associated with producing new polyester.
Can I use this mat in freezing temperatures?
With an R-Value of 4.0, this mat offers good insulation and can be used in colder conditions. For extremely cold, sub-zero temperatures, consider pairing it with a closed-cell foam pad for added insulation.
What is the purpose of the EasyGrip™ embossing?
The EasyGrip™ embossing is a textured pattern on the mat's surface designed to provide extra friction. This helps to keep your sleeping bag from sliding off the mat during the night, especially on slopes or if you move around a lot.
Troubleshooting
Mat not fully inflating
Ensure the Fast-Flow valve is fully open. Leave it to self-inflate for longer or manually inflate with a few breaths. Check for any debris blocking the valve.
Mat deflates during the night
Check that the Fast-Flow valve is securely closed. Inspect the mat for any punctures or tears and repair with a patch kit if necessary. Extreme temperature changes can also affect air pressure; try topping it up manually.
Difficult to deflate and pack
Ensure the Fast-Flow valve is fully open. Roll the mat from the valve end, pushing out as much air as possible. Try rolling it multiple times. Ensure the valve remains open during rolling.
