Curious to learn more about R-values and sleeping pad ratings?
The R-value of sleeping pads is an insulation factor, preventing heat lost to the ground. Higher R-values mean greater insulation and should be considered for camping in colder temperatures. Selecting sleeping pads with higher R-values can help protect critical heat loss and make for a more cozy camping experience wiithout adding a ton of weight to your pack. Conversly, camping in warmer climate settings can become more enjoyable with a more "breathable" sleeping pad with a lower R-value.
