There's a growing trend towards inflatable roll mats these days, and I for one have enjoyed a nice deep sleep on an inflatable roll mat. However, these inflatable roll mats have a few drawbacks, the major one being punctures. Nobody wants to wake up in the night on a roll mat as thin as a piece of paper and without any of the necessary heat protection a roll mat provides.
One of the most powerful aspects of the Highlander Nato Military Roll Mat, is that it is of a dense foam construction and therefore, cannot let you down when you need it most.
The Highlander Nato Military Roll Mat is 180 cm long x 50 cm wide making it suitable for a wide range of people. Coming in with a whopping 1 cm thickness the Highlander Nato Military Roll Mat is extremely comfortable while remaining lightweight at only 285g.
With some foam roll mats there isn't much give in the material, especially true of ridged foam roll mats that in some instances are as uncomfortable as the ground they are placed onto. On the other hand the Highlander Nato Military Roll Mat has soft foam which compresses to the shape of your body to provide additional comfort.
Don't worry though; you won't start to wear-out the Highlander Nato Military Roll Mat in those compressed areas as the foam in the Highlander Nato Military Roll Mat has superb compression recovery, allowing the mat to return to its flat original shape once your weight is removed.
You may think that the compressing nature of the Highlander Nato Military Roll Mat may affect its ability to protect you from the cold. This simply isn't the case which is reflected in the astonishing five season rating that the Highlander Nato Military Roll Mat has been given, making it suitable for even the most extreme of conditions.
The nice thing about using the Highlander Nato Military Roll Mat is that you don't have to worry about getting it dirty, or protecting it from the soil below. It is completely washable simply using a cloth or sponge and some water.
While some roll mats on the market have water resistance the Highlander Nato Military Roll Mat is completely waterproof, so water isn't going to wick up from the floor into your sleeping bag and it's not going to get wet if your get rained on. Water simply beads up on the mat and flows away.
For those with allergies, you will be happy to hear that the Highlander Nato Military Roll Mat is hygienic and non-allergenic. If you have been walking all day through long grass in the summer with your roll mat attached to the bottom of your pack it won't be collecting pollen and other allergens that will give you an allergic reaction and potentially ruin your trip.
The Highlander Nato Military Roll Mat also comes with two elasticated tidy straps to keep the mat from unrolling before you want it to.
You can't put a price on a good night's sleep, but with the Highlander Nato Military Roll Mat being so affordable you won't have to.
