Stoic - NijakSt. Sleeping Mat

So after way too much research and a double dose of buyer paralysis I finally ended up clicking 'buy now' on a STOIC product named the 'NijakSt'. It's a generous 198 by 64cm (LW) sleeping pad with a thickness of 6cm which has an advertised weight of 600gr and EN tested at R4.3. Pic: [https://imgur.com/a/n7UkPjh](https://imgur.com/a/n7UkPjh) \*There's very little info on these pads, but I got this report after mailing the vendor, which answered all my questions within a 12hr time frame. So, thumbs up for their customer service. (Bergfreunde.de) I purchased the pad at a discount price of 85EU and tbh I didn't have high expectations. Since both of my $$$ Exped mats failed, I was keen on trying something else, preferably below the 100EU mark. Four days later the package arrived and so far I must say my initial impressions are very positive. Materials used feel at least as good as on the much more expensive pads. The measurements are spot on, the pad packs down nice and small to 24x14 (remember this is a 3 season rated pad in LW) and my kitchen scale said 634gr including the pump- and storage sack. One very, very big plus (at least for me): This thing is super silent, as in: no noise whatsoever. While I normally dislike horizontal baffles, these do not seem to have the tendency to throw me off the pad, even wile being fully inflated. The top side material feels sturdy, soft and the Y shaped markings have some grip to them which helps with keeping your bag in place. The taper towards the bottom is also barely noticeable comfort wise. \*For reference I'm 1m82, broad shouldered and 90kgs. Any downsides? At this price? Not really... Well, the stuff sack isn't on par with the ones from Exped (but actually come with the pad). So yeah getting this thing inflated takes a bit longer. Also, it's a one valve pad (some might say this makes adjusting pressure difficult) to me it makes no difference. Everything considered, I think this is very much pad (not just for the money) and I really feel like putting this thing to the test in the upcoming months. for the non-metric crowd: 78L x 25W thickness 2.35 Weight: 21.1 ounces Packed size: 9.5 x 5.5 Me: 6ft, 200Lbs Felt I'd leave this initial mini review here, maybe someone finds it useful.

Hi, I have no experience with the sleeping pads you mentioned. We bought the STOIC NijakSt. recently and it was a really good (budget) option lightweight and comfortable. R 4,3 so good enough for mountain camping. The weight ranges from 425-600g. We camped with them in the Scottish mountains, so I think 5 degrees Celsius was our coldest night. And it was real comfy. 90 euros I hope you get some comments about the mats you mentioned!

Me and my girl almost bought this as well. We thought, buy it for our trip to test it and if we don’t like it then return it and buy it when it’s on sale. Ended up not doing that and buying the stoic version and it’s the exact same thing. Just different brand. And it was half the cost at back country store in LA
