Upcoming sleeping pad by Wechsel seems like a great deal
To cure my boredem I've watched a walkaround by a small YouTuber around the Outdoor by ISPO - a german outdoor fair sometime last year. One product caught my atention: a new sleeping pad by Wechsel. Wechsel is a german brand mostly known for their tents. They do have some sleeping pads in their lineup, but nothing noteworthy.
The claimed specs sound too good to be true: https://i.imgur.com/C1kuTJs.png
A 6.0 R-rating, weighing 580g in size large (195x65x6.5cm) sleeping pad that costs 150€ RRP? I punched those numbers in the sleeping pad comparison table and only the Xtherm is better. All the other pads with an R-rating above 5 are heavier (and every single one retails for at least 50€ more).
The baffling reminds me of the Nemo Tensor: https://i.imgur.com/PeYLji9.png
My main concerns are the thickness (only 6.5cm) and if the claimed R-value translate into real world conditions. On the spec sheet Wechsel is talking about "Radiant Heat AX reflecting the body temperature", so I'm guessing they're using mylar sheets inside. Hopefully they're arranged properly and don't cause any issues like some other brands.
As I couldn't find any other information about it on the internet I messaged them on Instagram. They replied quickly and told me the pad will be available this march. The RRP for size medium is 129,90€ and size large 149,90€.
Let's hope it lives up to its specs - I'm very intrigued.
