Sleeping Pad Construction
Ground pads are necessary to determine a temperature rating of a sleeping bag.
The pads acts as an insulation layer between you, your sleeping
bag, and the ground. Without a ground pad, the ground will continuously
pull heat out of the bag, rendering the bag useless.(Have you ever
been to football game on an extremely cold day and you were dressed
for the weather. Your nice and warm, until you sit down on the metal
or cement benches, your butt gets cold and remains cold). SAME SITUATION!!!
Ground pads are not just for comfort. Always
purchase a pad with foam as core that fills with air and not an
air filled ONLY mattress. Air is a poor insulator and will continually
pull heat from your bag, just as the ground.
