Teton Sports Altos Sleeping Pad
What it is : This is a budget friendly sleeping pad made by the outdoor company Teton Sports.
The Altos is a summer pad that’s fairly lightweight, offers 3” of cushion and my review begins now.
Agenda Free Link : https://www.amazon.com/TETON-Sports-Sleeping-Inflatable-Backpacking/dp/B08M49PBDG
Colors : Baby Blue
Versions : Insulated, Non-insulated
R-Value : The non-insulated version has a r-value of 1.3
Size / Measurements :
Inflated - One only, 72” x 20 x 3”
Packed - 9” x 3.5” x 3.5” - about the size of a Nalgene bottle.
Materials : 75D Diamond Shell - polyester
Weight : 1lb 9oz with the storage bag
Price : $40 for the non-insulated, $60 for the Insulated
Review Pros :
Good size pad for individuals up to 6ft tall.
Great quality - no issues with leaking.
Very good price - affordable for the size
Overall good size
Easy to inflate - good valve
Comfortable to use - can sleep on it any way that you like including side with nothing touching the ground.
Not very loud when moving around on it.
When packed, it doesn’t take up a lot of room inside of your pack.
Lifetime warranty! That means a lot especially when it comes to a product of this type.
Larger air chambers on the sides to hold the user in the center of the pad
Point : No inflation bag is included - this isn’t really a con considering the price but should be mentioned.
Now onto the real cons….
Review Cons :
Because of the size of the pad, it can and will take time to inflate the pad via your lungs.
Ugly blue color - it’s more of a baby blue would prefer additional color options or at least a darker blue.
Pad is slightly slick due to the materials; you might want to consider an anti-slip solution such as seamgrip.
No repair kit included
There isn’t an XXL pad for taller and wider individuals
R-Value :
Speaking of the R-value, Teton Sports isn’t forthcoming about this information on their website; you can only find these details on the Amazon page which I flat out do not like.
The insulated version of this pad isn’t all that insulated. It is rated only for a 2.7 which is fairly low.
Maybe they don’t state the R-value because 2.7 is so low that one won’t likely even notice it. 2.7 is generally recommended for cool, above freezing conditions.
Summer r-values run between 1 - 3
Fall and early spring 3 - 5
Winter 5+
Summary :
All in all, this is not a bad sleeping pad for the money; it’s a good size, offers excellent cushion, the quality is good and it features a lifetime warranty!
For this price, there aren’t many companies that do.
Over the last year or so, I have been very impressed with Teton Sports; very good quality products for the money.
