you may have heard of these guys for making some of the craziest hammocks out
there, but if you're looking for an inexpensive three-season sleeping pad
option.. let's take a look at the among few ladies and gents this is Matty
outdoors I am Matty we talked about hiking and backpacking we talked about
hammock camping here I'm Canadian I go to some wicked places in the Rockies
that interests you consider clicking on that subscribe button like I said today
we are talking sleeping pads we were talking about the a Mach fuel LW this
thing is a fantastic inexpensive sleeping pad option if you want a
ridiculously comfortable night of sleep taking a look at the stuff sack the
stuff sack is pretty sweet it's got everything on the front of it so it
gives you all of your your weights your r-value a long wide all your
measurements it also tells you it comes with the included pumps at our value of
3 on this thing so this thing is going to get you down to about minus 4 Celsius
or about the mid 20s in Fahrenheit so three-season rating for temperature the
weights on this thing 850 grams 30 ounces that's the weights that are
listed on the front here I did weigh up myself at home on my scale my weights
are pretty close pretty comparable and I say that this thing is a fantastic
inexpensive option coming in at 120 bucks for a long wide pad I mean just
getting a long wide pad for that price is ridiculous getting it with the
included pump sack is huge like there's companies out there like a big agnes hex
head that charge like 40 to 50 bucks extra for their pump sack on top of it
their pads are like 160 to 170 bucks and that's in canadian dollars so to get all
of that included with it for a three season pad that's pretty wicked to me so
nice draw cord closure i will say like the stuff sack is oversize a little bit
so it makes it getting in and out really easy which is nice and before i even get
into the pad we're gonna go right into the stuff sack i'm gonna flip it inside
out show you guys a wicked little feature that you don't see on a lot of
other manufacturers but it's ridiculously smart amok makes a little
pocket in the bottom of the stuff sack to include your repair kit and they give
you an included repair kit with this thing as well so you know i know
companies like summer has not in repair kits and you know you pay a
couple bucks extra so to get everything included with that with that price so
when you enroll it inside of it you've got your pump sack and the pad itself
the bottom of the pad is this dark gray the top is this kind of lighter gray or
white color they're both a 75 deepali the top is like a it's got like a rip
stop to it it's like a little bit of a softer texture a little bit more
comfortable feel the top left-hand corner of the pad so on your left
shoulder feeling on your back you've got your valve it's your two-way valve so
when you open that guy up you've got a little rubber flapper in here and kind
of cool on the pad it shows you how to operate the little rubber flapper so
it's your two-way Val so if I was to blow into this right now air will go in
and not come out and when you want to deflate it you basically just put your
finger inside and you peal that Valve piece back and that's how you get the
air out of it like I have said this comes with an included pump sack the
reason this comes with a pump sack is this pad has synthetic insulation inside
of it they don't want you blowing into it because your breath obviously you've
got moisture in your breath that moisture fills up the pad you get
condensation in your pad all of a sudden that's gonna cause mold issues so you
get this included pump sack and honestly this makes it so much easier and way
faster to fill then trying to blow these things up like I've watched people try
and blow these up like the long tubular baffles on these things like the Big
Agnes pads that are really thick it takes people forever to blow these
things up so using the pump sack pretty easy you've got a little clip here you
wanna cover your valve you basically just snap this into the valve and you'll
hear a little audible click a mock actually has a suggested way to try and
fill it you basically take the bag get it opened up and you just gently blow
into it and roll it quickly to trap the air
sitting on top of the fuel pad is my thermos eva light this is a standard
ultra light backpackers mummy sized sleeping pad this just kind of gives you
an idea of how absolutely massive this pad is the long wide is absolutely huge
and a side-by-side thickness comparison long tubular baffles on this very much
like the Big Agnes and the exped styles this pad was designed by amok
specifically to go with the drama hammocks there's a zipper in the bottom
of the hammock and a sleeve and this slides inside the hammock and pads of
this design and like I said the Big Agnes and Exped styles of the long
tubular baffles going this way support the drama hammock the best this thing is
gonna work on the ground just as well as it's gonna work inside the hammock so
let's take a look at how this thing looks inside the MSR haba haba this is
with the two pads inside the MSR haba haba completely touches side to side but
they do fit they're not pushed on the outside walls at all so they do just fit
so she looks inside the MSR hubba-hubba as you can see my feet are right down to
the very end of the pad and I have one handy room up above my head this pad is
absolutely massive my biggest thing that I'm loving about this pad going from my
summer s pad this is how easy it is to adjust the support of the pad if I want
to watch an arrow I just pull the cover back
Oh insanely comfortable on my side even going directly just onto my hip
I'm not hitting the ground at all this thing is insanely comfortable I can feel
one coming up from underneath it so tells me the insulation in this thing
works which is awesome got to me this is an absolute no-brainer
no it does not fit into the ultralight concept it's about twice the weight of
my therma rest pad but I'm not gonna lie the next trip I take that I am going to
ground this is going with me and the therm rest has stayed at home because
this is so much more comfortable I'm going to sleep so much better on this
than I was on my thinner therm-a-rest pad which is only about two and a half
inches thick so the extra inch thickness and I just I like the feel of the
tubular baffles I finally just a cradles me more when I'm laying on it if you
look over a sleeping pad and you're looking to get a little bit more
luxurious comfortable sleep than one of your traditional ultralight mummy style
sleeping pads it's a little bit more thicker so I'm a little bit wider this
may be something to look into to get the pump sack included the repair kit the
2-way valve on this thing is awesome the materials are bomb-proof I mean the
75d materials this thing is built to last
it's built to go in the drum or hammock and literally be folded in half and like
sit up in a chair and be like manipulated and bent so like they build
these things to last this thing is bomb-proof it's gonna hold up so you
know maybe something to look into no it is not ultralight you know the 30
ounce weight tag on this thing may be an issue for some people but if you value a
good night's sleep may be worth it then when you're done with the pad you pop
the cover back
a little table out all the air comes out and you're on the ground in seconds then
it's just as simple as rolling this thing up packing it away putting cream
the stuff sack getting one out of the way and pack and Rob so that's it guys
that is the ammo fuel if you guys are looking into a inexpensive lightweight
three-season sleeping pad option and you want something a little bit more cushy
the long wide the extra thick pad this may be something to look into you get
your pump sack you catch your repair kit you get all that included on the
insulated three season pad to me you cannot go wrong anyways guys as always I
am Maddy thank you guys so much for watching me I'm Wanda we'll see you guys
on the next one
