Naturehike - Tuye

There is a Naturehike 5.8 r-value, 196x64x7 (large), 630g for right now 120 Euros on Amazon. I have the regular one of those and i know that the weight is including one of these pump bags to inflate the pad. Throw it out and the mattress will probably be around 580/590g.

I even bought two of the Naturehike pads, one 3.5 mummy style (ca 410g without inflating bag) and a regular rectangle 5.8 one (510g without inflating bag). And even one of their Snowbird down sleeping bags and their ultralight liner. Can´t say anything bad about that stuff. Good quality, good workmanship, very fair prices.

I’d highly recommend not doing that. If you’re looking for good budget sleeping pads, I’d look into Naturehike. I have a 5.8 r value pad that I got for $100. Klymit falsely advertises their R-Value and the pad itself isn’t very comfy. Bought one earlier this year and returned it after one use.

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 have the R5.8 version picked up for $65. Originally I thought it had a leak but realized it was user error and I just hadn't fully closed the valve. It packs down super small, with an pump stuff sack weighs 518 g total (mummy version). Have only used it for 6 nights so far but fairly comfy and tho I think the r value might be a bit overstated don't think its far off.  I will say the mummy version saves grams but is a tad narrow even for me (5'2, 125 lbs). They say its 58 cm wide but more like 55.

I have one of theirs, i think the R5 mat. The material is light, and therefore thin. I've had to patch mine already, so definitely keep the repair kit with you. Cant comment on it's warmth, weight seems believable

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.
