Dirtbag

This is our fattest baddest mat for all those dirtbag moments in your life. The most comfortable mat you can carry with near fat pad comfort for those squished in to smaller tents. Out of all of our mats this is the one that has the widest range of uses and looks set to redefine the boundary between car based fat mat comfort camping and trail based wilderness camping. It is ideal for weight concious adventurers looking for sub kilo weight and deep pad comfort. We think Dirtbag is the fattest mat you are likely to want to carry, perfect for people who enjoy all round comfort away from home, but who don't own a Yak to carry it.

Alternatives? Dirtbag is quite the all-rounder but it is worth taking a close look at Wideboy for comparable weight, pack volume but with a much larger surface area.

Getting started with your new sleeping mat
Your new Alpkit sleeping mat is self-inflating however it does not pop-up by magic. All of our mats are stored tightly compressed in our warehouse so the foam inside your mat will need a little exercise before it regains its full self-inflating power. For this reason we recommend following these 5 steps before taking your mat camping. Alternatively watch our Getting Started video guide.

1) Unroll your mat and undo the valves
2) Leave for 15 mins as it starts to suck in air and inflate
3) Close one of the valves
4) Blow into the mat until solid and close the valve. Do not use a mechanical pump
5) Leave for 24 hrs

Once this has been done you should find that upon deflation and re-inflation, it will take about 5 mins to draw in enough air for you to sleep on. To make your mat firm you will always need to add extra air by breathing into it.
To deflate your mat open the valves and roll the mat from the opposite end to expel all of the air. Close the valve to stop the mat from reinflating itself.
To give the mat the best chance of self inflating, it needs to be stored open with the valves open. By following this advice you can ensure the fastest possible inflation time on your campsite.
Sleep with the Alpkit logo facing up, your head at the valve end and your feet at the opposite end.. zzzzz
