Ultralight Outdoor Gear - REGULAR / FULL LENGTH Sleeping Mat Comparison Chart
'R-values' are a measure of insulation and are based on a mattress being fully inflated. There are basically two units of measurement SI units used by most of the world - and Imperial units used by the US. Tog value is another unit but it is 10 times the R-value expressed in SI units. We have attempted to make sense of this by converting values to the SI unit measurement for comparison.
