Sea to Summit Pursuit Plus SI Mat

Technologies and manufacturing processes

• "Solution Dyed (spinning dyed)"

  "Spin dyeing is a process in which the dye is added to the liquid polymer before the fiber is extruded. The advantage of this technology is that energy and water consumption as well as COu2082emissions are significantly reduced. During spinning dyeing, the color runs through the entire yarn, not just on the surface, as would be the case with traditional dyeing. This is easy to imagine if you compare the cross-section of a carrot (color throughout) to a radish (color only on the outside). Although spun-dyed materials are not quite as intense, they do not fade over time like traditionally dyed materials."

• "Bluesign GEPRu00dcFT"

  "Bluesign is a system operated by an independent group based in Switzerland that monitors every step in a supply chain to ensure that safe materials are used. This approval means that the manufacturing of the product causes the lowest emissions and pollution, meets high standards for humane conditions for workers and material safety standards for consumers."

• "RCS recycled fabric"

  "The substances or materials used in these products are certified as recycled in accordance with the Recycled Claim Standard. RCS is an international, voluntary standard that uses the ISO definition of "recycled". It sets criteria for third-party certification of recycled raw materials and ensures responsibility throughout the supply chain. Sea to Summit considers the impact on the environment when selecting materials and recycled materials are only selected if they meet appropriate performance and durability standards."

• "Horizontal delta coring"

  "This innovation from Sea to Summit removes 40% of the foam in a self-inflating mat and leaves behind delta-shaped chambers. This saves weight and reduces packing volume, while at the same time creating foam-supported, air-filled channels that significantly increase your comfort. Lighter, more packable, more comfortable": "a win-win-win situation."

• "XPEL Valve"

  "The Sea to Summit XPEL Valve was the first valve designed specifically for self-inflating sleeping pads. It integrates a one-way inflation port, deflation port and fine adjustment knob into a single, low-profile unit. The ingenious thing about the XPEL Valve is that the valve is inverted to deflate the sleeping pad. This turns the one-way inflation valve into a one-way deflation valve, which prevents the mat from filling with air when it is rolled up. The XPEL valve fits onto the connection of an Airstream pump bag (sold separately) if you want to "inflate" your self-inflating mat, which can also be done manually."

• "ASTM F3340 R-Value Testing"

  "To make sure you are warm when you sleep (especially if the floor is cooler), it is important to know how well your sleeping mat prevents heat loss to the floor. This resistance is known as the R-value. A laboratory-tested R-value is the only way to measure resistance to heat loss."
