The Gossamer Gear Thinlight Foam Insulation Pad can be rolled and placed either inside the pack or on top (where it can be held under the closure for instance). The 1/8" pad will fold up to fit into the back of our larger packs, providing a super-minimalist pad.

Being so versatile, makes our insulation pads a favorite for ultralight backpacking and camping! Our thinnest pad at 1/8" weighs much less than even a deck of cards. While even our thickest sleeping pad is less than half the weight of most foam sleeping pads. These add almost no weight to your pack, are compact, and can be folded and bended into any form without losing their integrity. It is important to pair it with our Polycryo Ground Cloth for maximum efficiency from the cold ground.

If you own an ultralight backpacking air mattress, then it should be an indispensable part of your kit - an air mattress alone might slip and slide and leave you freezing from convective heat loss. Place a Thinlight foam insulation pad on top of or underneath your air mattress to prevent sliding and provide insulation. Also makes a quick and easy camp seat.

We also make an 1/4" pad for ultralight hammock camping.
