1/8" Closed Cell Foam Pad

I rely on this foam pad when I take breaks on the trail and as a sleeping pad. The pad is so versatile that I quit carrying a sleeping mattress, saving me a lot of weight. My butt greatly appreciates the pad when I take a sit-down break on hard-packed desert trails.

Title says it all. I use this pad for a tent doormat, or extra padding under my mattress on "pokier" ground, a quick padded dry spot to sit if im not stopping long enough to assemble my chair, a dry clean place to stand when changing shoes before or after water crossings....ive even used it to fan a fire and get some oxygen when i dont feel like using lung power to do so. Great gear, cheap, light, and infinitely useful

This has become my favorite item and comes on every trip. So light and has many uses. I use it as a sit and rest pad. I use it to sit on my knees in front of my tent when getting setup at camp. I use it under my sleeping pad for protection and extra warmth, but also to keep my pad from sliding on the tent floor at night. If you have a frameless pack, it can also be packed next to your back in your pack for extra comfort and structure. A must have item for me!

I recently purchased the closed cell foam pad from Outdoor Vitals, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with its versatility and performance. In fact, I've found it to be an invaluable addition to my outdoor gear collection, serving not one, but two essential purposes.

First and foremost, I acquired this pad to enhance my camping experience by using it as an additional layer of protection beneath my sleeping pad. The reasons for this choice are two-fold. The pad adds an extra barrier against the uneven and potentially uncomfortable terrain, ensuring a more peaceful night's sleep. Despite its lightweight and compact design, it provides a noticeable improvement in sleeping comfort. At its affordable price point, it's an absolute steal for the level of protection it offers, making it a fantastic investment for any camper or backpacker.

Moreover, this pad has proven itself to be incredibly versatile as it doubles as a sit pad for meals. Whether I'm taking a break during a long hike, having a picnic in the great outdoors, or simply sitting around the campfire, this pad is a game-changer. Its insulating properties help keep me warm and dry, even when the ground is damp or cold. This makes mealtime more comfortable and enjoyable, especially in adverse weather conditions. It's amazing how such a simple piece of gear can make such a big difference in overall outdoor comfort.

In conclusion, Outdoor Vitals' closed cell foam pad has exceeded my expectations in terms of value and functionality. It serves as an excellent investment to protect my sleep during camping trips while also enhancing my outdoor dining experiences. Its lightweight design and affordability are major selling points, and I would highly recommend this pad to any outdoor enthusiast looking to improve their camping gear. It's a small investment with a big impact, and it has quickly become an essential part of my camping setup.

This pad has seen only about 60-70 miles and a large chunk tore off. Besides that it's got slices straight through it from using it as a sit pad for breaks. If all your doing with this is using it so your pad don't slide around your tent, then it works fine. Seems like you really got to baby this foam it's so fragile.

This is very light ! I used this as extra protection for my my pricey Thermarest pad. Perfect size, don't even notice its there.

Perfect for what I use it for-a sit pad, a tent vestibule mat, or even for extra protection for my sleep pad. I may even cut it in half to get more uses? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Exactly what I needed! Works great as a sit pad, nap pad and protective pad for under my sleeping pad. In cold weather, I use as an insulation piece ( folded in half) to sit on with my Nemo chair!

Pad is strong but light and perfect length for a sleeping pad on top of it. Folds down flat and can easily be stuffed in a large pack or tied down to the back of it. Good protection for a sleeping pad and more insulation in the cold.

It does what it is supposed to do. More durable than expected.

This has been a great extra addition. I like to layer this with an accordion-style pad, and use as a sit pad for breaks on trail. OV customer support is awesome as well, thank you all again so much.

A nice light weight sit pad that could have many uses. I like that this model is longer to put under my sleeping pad if wanted and more material to fold up for a cushioned set. It can be a bit fragile if caught on branches. I would buy it again.

I purchased this based on a recommendation from an article, and it has lived up to expectations. A little extra insulation under your sleeping mat, a dirt free area to cook, some foam for camp crafting (I am going to tie some backcountry flies!) or a yoga mat. Cost to benefit ratio is worth it!

Always a pleasure shopping at OV find what I need and getting details on items is made easy!
Thanks!

I was drawn for it being a 'wide.' I use this under my inflatable pad to help protect it from fir and pine needles.

Great pad for protecting your lightweight inflatable sleeping pad, sitting on while glassing, as protection for tent floors from dog claws, and a multitude of other uses. Well worth the weight. Doesn't seem to absorb much water and dries quickly.

I use this under my inflatable mattress. As advertised!

I ordered a closed foam mat and when it came there was a blemish that went almost the whole thickness of the mat. I emailed because I was concerned that the smallest thing would cause it to tear all the way through. They said no worries, send us some photos, and then they replaced the mat, no further questions asked! Great service!

I can not believe how light this is…looking forward to using it on my next backpacking trip.

It's a piece of light weight thin foam,

I love this and know it will be great for multiple uses. Ive learned these pads are useful for protecting my sleep pad, giving my knees a break from the ground, as well as a place to sit on wet muddy places.

It's light, packs well and completely eliminates my mattress moving around the tent floor while adding to my R value. Plus, it makes a great seating pad. I love it!

This is a great pad to use hiking or we keep ours in the camper to use however needed.

So light!!!

Nice pad. I like that it is full length for just 1.7 oz extra

Very light weight and i use it as a protection for my sleeping pad

1/8" Closed Cell Foam Pad

So I got this primarily for putting underneath my inflatable sleeping pad on backpacking trips with pokey things, you know, sharp rocks, or cactus for the like. There’s some other benefits to it as well, but that’s the main use case for me, but unfortunately I it was too short. Now this is partially my fault because I did not take a close look at the measurements. I assumed a “regular” size foam mat would fit a “regular” size sleeping pad but it’s actually rather significantly smaller. In fact, even the long wide foam mat isn’t quite big enough. It’s 72 inches if I remember correctly and a regular size sleeping pad is 75 inches I believe… so great useful piece of gear but I do wish it was a wee bit longer. I went ahead and returned my regular size and at some point will replace it with the long wide, and probably cut it down widthwise by 5 inches because I don’t use a wide sleeping pad.

I love these foam pads! They are multi use and light
