When subfreezing temperatures are
the norm for several weeks, though, stop
using breath inflation.
Condensation from your breath will
accumulate inside the valve and form an
ice plug. Then the mat can’t be inflated
or deflated. Ice can also form inside the
mat and tear the foam core.
1.
Carry the mat next to your body or
unroll the mat and lie down on it for a
few minutes before inflation. Your body
heat will warm the foam, allowing it to
inflate quicker.
the self-inflating
has insulating qualities that
make it
ideal
for use in
extreme
cold
. but the
colder
it is, the
slower
the foam inside the
mat inflates. here's the
easiest
way to inflate
the mat in cold
conditions.
i'll
keep you
warm.
i didn't
know you
cared.
Ahh!
i needed
a
good
stretch
.
a little
extra inflation
will keep you
cozy
on
snow
.
save your
breath
, pal,
it's just
too
cold
out.
