Skalmo Gramlite 3mm sleeping mat

Skalmo - Gramlite 3 sleeping mat

The Ultimate everything mat for any adventure

In the USA this pad is called the 1/8" dreamlite, super duper, mega UL thinfoam, mega lite pad. We call it the Gramlite 3. Works for us. 

Being so versatile makes the Gramlite 3 is a favorite for ultralight backpacking and camping! The Gramlite 3 weighs just 118 grams. These add almost no weight to your pack, are compact, and can be folded and bent into any form without losing their integrity.

If you own an ultralight backpacking air mattress, then it should be an indispensable part of your kit - an air mattress alone might slip and slide and leave you freezing from convective heat loss. Place a Gramlite 3 foam insulation pad on top of or underneath your air mattress to prevent sliding and provide insulation. Also makes a quick and easy camp seat.

Our thoughts:

It's har do to overstate how this little 3mm EVA pad is arguably the most useful piece of equipment in my backpack. With it, I always have a warm spot to sit down on, or more preferably to lay down on while I stretch and cook coffee on little breaks throughout the day. It also protects my sleeping pad from rocks or sharp grass, the added bonus of keeping my sleeping pad in place throughout the night while I toss and turn. If I was the kind of person that could sleep on just the eva pad, than I would have the most amazing UL, robust mat available. The Mat also works as a frame in my frameless packs - I just wrap it around all my gear like a taco on the inside on my pack. Or why not fold it and put it in the inner sleeve of a pack. 

To top it all off, it weighs just 118grams, offers some warmth and is extremely robust. Our original sleeping pads were 5mm but made in a low density material, meant that they were both warmer and lighter at just 70grams. But the things fell apart almost instantly. So we decided to move over to these thinner but much more robust 3mm EVA pads and they are fantastic. I have used mine for over two years of constant use will only minor scratchs and dings. It's always why we have cancelled our earlier pads altogether. The 3mm pads are just superior in every way. 

Plus: 

• Light
• Very robust
• Very flexible bit of gear
• No reason not to bring it
• Made in Sweden
