Naturehike - High R-Value Ultralight Inflatable Sleeping Pad

I have the Naturehike 5.8 which is basically the same. The regular sized mummy version. It packs down very small for what it is. It's a few cm narrower and shorter than listed but when you lay on it it extends to basically the listed dimensions. I find that i bottom out when i sit on. It's ok when i lay on it and distribute the weight. To be fair i like it a bit deflated and fear inflating so much to where it would be able to sit on it without bottoming out. In terms of comfort i think it's pretty good. Decently warm also. I've used it down to -15c with a rollable ccf pad underneath and a Carinthia Defence 4 plus Cumulus Quilt 250. It was super warm but i wasn't feeling the cold coming from the ground either. In my opinion for the money the performance is very satisfactory. Some say it's close in comfort to the Neno tensor. I would assume the thicker version is even closer.

I'd say no. I think the 5.8 is the better way to go from what i can see in the pictures. I have the 5.8, used it down to -15C with a ccf underneath. It did just fine. You do bottom out a bit tho. If i could go back I'd get the 8.8 version which is thicker.

Yup. I think 51cm is too narrow. I have a Naturehike 5.8 which is about 58cm wide and i think that's way better. 60cm i think should be the minimum and i actually think a lot of people could get away with and be comfortable therefore saving weight by not having to get the 65cm(25inch) wide pads. Just sone thoughts

I’d go for an inflatable pad and for speed I’d get a little flextail pump to speed up the time and effort required to set it up. I’ve recently bought a Naturehike 5.8 which I’m very pleased with and a flextail gear zero r5.6 which feels comfortable although I’ve not slept on it overnight yet. The main thing about the flextail like the exped is it looks a bit like the sort of lilo you see kids using in a holiday swimming pool.

Tbh, it is then a bit heavier than the nature hike 5.8 that is also about 4.5R and at least mine is holding up fine. That's about 60€ frequently.

I have a 5R light-tour and a naturehike 5R. The light tour is a lot warmer so you results don't surprise me at all.

I haven't tried the Rab pad, but the other two will not get you below freezing. Exped ultra 5r is a great option, as already mentioned. The naturehike 5.8 pad could also be a good option - although there isn't much data on durability.
