Big Agnes added Primaloft eco to its inflatable Air Core pad to create the Insulated Air Core Rectangular Pad. By using Primaloft eco synthetic insulation, Big Agnes kept a few plastic bottles out of the landfill. The inflatable design on the Insulated Air Core means you get an ultra-cush 2.5-inch-thick sleeping pad that helps you stay toasty on chilly nights and yet rolls down to fit compactly in your pack. This pad complements any of Big Agnes' cold-weather bags.
Turn your campsite from Spartan to snug with the insulated Air Core sleeping pad from Big Agnes--a pad that's so light you'll never tire of carrying it, and so comfortable you may need an alarm clock.
The insulated Air Core includes a non-breakable brass valve and an EZ-Flate mouthpiece. |
The insulated Air Core is built to last, with a durable nylon top and bottom (nylon diamond ripstop in the case of 20-inch-thick pads) and a sturdy I-beam construction that eliminates welded seams. The I-beam design offers several benefits: minimized cold spots, a consistent airflow, and extra stability while you sleep. The pad is also warmer than most sleeping pads, with a temperature rating down to 15 degrees F. That's because the pad is insulated with either PrimaLoft Eco insulation (20-inch pads) or M3 synthetic insulation (25-inch pads). PrimaLoft Eco is a particularly good choice for consumers, as the insulation is made using 50 percent recycled materials. Should the temperature still feel too chilly, you can add a closed cell foam pad to bump up the pad's coziness.
The insulated Air Core is a breeze to inflate thanks to the plastic-coated EZ-Flate mouthpiece, which includes a non-breakable brass valve. To inflate, simply twist the black part of the valve counter-clockwise and blow. You can rest assured that the pad won't leak when you bring it home, as each Air Core is individually inflated and tested. And should you eventually need to patch a leak, you can turn to the repair kit, which is located in a small pocket on the inside of the stuff sack.
The pad, which also includes an internal polyurethane coating, comes in four sizes.

About Big Agnes
Big Agnes is either a rocky peak in the Mt. Zirkel Wilderness Area outside of Colorado's Steamboat Springs, a laid-back mountain-town mama, or dependable backcountry gear, depending on whom you ask. The Big Agnes founders think it represents a little bit of each and everything in between. The folks at Big Agnes have spent a lot of time in the Colorado backcountry, giving them a deep appreciation of local history, places, peaks, and rivers. From the Cross Mountain, named after a Yampa River canyon known for classic Class IV/V whitewater, to the Encampment, one of the country's most scenic wilderness river runs, to more obvious choices like the Divide Series, the company names its products after some of the most fascinating landmarks in the region. The spring runoff near Steamboat is also pretty spectacular, so Big Agnes included a few favorite creeks to its name directory, including Sarvis, Deep, Mad, and Lost Dog. The fun product names complement a full catalog of well-constructed outdoor products, which include sleeping bags, tents, pads, duffels, and camping accessories.
