Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad Bushmen FIT 480 ultralight with R-value 2.1

Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad Bushmen FIT 480 is an ultralight sleeping pad designed for hiking, trekking, and minimalist camping. It provides ground insulation and sleeping comfort at a very low weight of 0.48 kg with a thickness of 2.5 cm. This self-inflating sleeping pad belongs to the ultralight outdoor equipment category and is suitable for backpacking, bikepacking, and fast & light travel. The construction combines an anatomical shape, perforated foam core, and ultralight ripstop-reinforced fabric.

The key performance feature of this model is the FIT anatomical shape, which follows the body outline and reduces weight by approximately 15% compared to rectangular sleeping pads. The perforated foam with a density of 12 kg/m³ minimizes material mass while maintaining structure and insulation. An R-value of 2.1 provides thermal insulation suitable for use at temperatures from 2 °C and above.

Features

• ➤ Ultralight: Total weight of only 480 g, optimized for fast & light outdoor travel.
• ➤ Thermal insulation: R-value 2.1 reduces heat loss from the ground in mild and transitional conditions.
• ➤ Anatomical shape: FIT design lowers weight while maintaining sleeping comfort.
• ➤ Durable build: Ultralight fabric reinforced with ripstop structure.
• ➤ Compact packing: Rolls down to a small size for efficient backpack storage.
• ➤ Easy valve: One-way valve simplifies inflation and fast air release.

The self-inflating sleeping pad is used for sleeping in tents, bivy bags, and hammocks during hiking and trekking trips. It performs reliably on forest ground, grass, and moderately uneven terrain in warm and transitional seasons. Rounded corners help keep the pad in place when used inside a hammock, even when the sleeper moves. A typical use scenario includes summer trekking routes in the Alps.
