Decathlon - Forclaz MT500 Air Sleeping Pad

I have an EE 20F and used it this past weekend when temps got down to 37F. With the help of a warm, fuzzy pair of sleep-only socks, and my merino base layer, I was toasty warm. So you're fine on that front. The pad... I used a r1.5 in a hammock setup, and ended up having to wrap some of the quilt under me to give even the tiniest bit of extra insulation. I'd recommend you do as u/savagedude4027 and u/nomnomad said and get a closed cell foam to put on top of the current pad.

Some people find hammocks comfortable, but it can sometimes be tricky to find two trees at the right distance. Sometimes it could get cold from below. Personally, I'm quite happy with the MT500 Air inflatable trekking mat from Decathlon. The pack size is really decent, it's a bit more robust than much more expensive ultralight mats, and the price is fair for what you get.

If you're looking for the best value for your money, I can highly recommend the Forclaz MT500 Air L from Decathlon. I personally own several high-end sleeping pads and can make a direct comparison. And honestly, for the average summer camper, the more expensive models don't justify the price.

I'm a side sleeper and I'm absolutely fine with it, thanks to its 7 cm thickness and stable design. However, the 52 cm width of the L version might feel a bit narrow if you have broad shoulders or tend to move around during sleep. For extra comfort, you might want to consider the XL version with 65 cm width.

Just bought that one and its huge

ahh fuck. I was shocked when it came cause i did the research and took the one with smallest volume but i must have missed the difference in huge size difference of the XL and other sizes which explains my problem. Unbelievable size difference

there definitely is a difference. ofc it can all come down to personal preference, but decathlon equipment is just less reliable and comfortable. this is fine because it provides 80% of the performance for half the price. can i ask what temperatures youll be expecting? i used the MT500 for 2 years at 8-15°c night temperatures. anything lower than 8°c you’ll need a foam mattress paired with it, the sleeping pads arent that warm:

yes, the decathlon naming scheme is quite confusing because MT500 refers to the type and “level” of sport, not the product. i initially assumed you were talking of inflatables. in winter, i bring a ccf pad in addition to my inflatable because it weighs little and ups my pads r rating through stacking.
