Big Agnes Rapide SL Insulated Sleeping Pad

High-loft warmth and packable performance with the Rapide SL Insulated Sleeping Pad

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve used this pad for everything from alpine bivvies to spring backpacking loops. It’s super warm for how light it is, inflates quickly, and the side rails actually keep me centered all night. Packs down small and holds up great—total winner."

The Big Agnes Rapide SL Insulated Sleeping Pad delivers serious warmth and comfort in a lightweight, packable build made for three-season adventures. Now updated with improved insulation, lower weight, and an even smaller packed size, this version keeps us cradled and cozy from spring through fall.

Offset I-Beam construction and oversized side rails create a stable, centered sleep surface, while two layers of heat-reflective film trap warmth without adding bulk. At 4.8 R-value and over four inches thick, it’s cushioned and warm enough for variable weather without weighing down your pack. The included inflation sack makes setup fast so we can save our breath for the trail.
