Test result preview
The self-inflating sleeping pad from HIKENTURE was tested extensively today. In terms of product protection, the cardboard box is stable and offers sufficient protection. The packaging is environmentally friendly, which is a plus point. The package contents are complete and the scope of the product is impressive. The instructions for use are available in several languages and are easy to understand. The visual appearance, workmanship and stability of the sleeping pad are very good. In terms of handling, the sleeping pad unfolds easily on its own and provides good insulation against the cold.

Handling the self-inflating sleeping pad from HIKENTURE is quite straightforward overall. The mat unfolds easily on its own and reaches a height of 5 cm when inflated independently. The full height of 8 cm can only be reached with an air pump, as can the optimum use of the integrated cushion. When it comes to transportation, the sleeping pad scores points with its small pack size and weight (3 kg), including carrying bag. In terms of comfort, it is clear that the sleeping pad is much more comfortable after adding air using a pump. However, the cold insulation is very good overall, which is a plus point. The two-valve design makes it very easy to inflate and deflate. Overall, the self-inflating sleeping pad from HIKENTURE offers solid handling with a plus point for its easy deployment and cold insulation, but with limitations in terms of comfort without an air pump.
