Product Information
Full details
The Rab Ionosphere 5 is an ideal choice for ultralight backpackers, thru-hikers, and mountaineers who require a high-performance sleeping solution for cold-weather environments. It offers an impressive warmth-to-weight ratio thanks to its advanced TILT heat-reflective technology and Stratus R insulation, though its tapered mummy shape may feel restrictive to side sleepers who prefer a wider surface area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, connect the provided pump sack to the low-profile two-way valve. Use the pump sack to push air into the mat rather than blowing by mouth. When packing, ensure the mat is free of sharp debris before folding. Always store the mat loosely in a cool, dry place rather than tightly rolled to maintain the loft of the insulation. For cleaning, use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the reflective TILT coating. If a puncture occurs, use the included repair kit to patch the area immediately to maintain airtight integrity.
