 Hey everyone, Shade Bear 1000 here. Today we're going to be reviewing this sleeping pad that I got sent to me. And if you're interested in one, I'll tell you at the end of this video how you can get one too. So stick around, let's check this out. Okay guys, so this sleeping bag here, or not a sleeping bag, it's a sleeping pad. Small, it's about, I don't know, maybe eight inches long. I didn't bring a ruler out, but what I did was I brought my skill out and I'll tell you exactly how much it weighs here. All right, because I know, like a lot of backpackers that's important to them because you know, let's go with pounds here first, okay. 1.18 pounds. Now let's go with, it's 18.9 ounces. So it's 16 ounces and a pound. So 18.9 ounces. I'm not sure what measurement that is. I think it's Chinese or something, but that's what it weighs for that. And 0.535 kilograms. So, all right. Now, okay, like I said, I didn't bring out a, I mean, there's my foot, I guess. So, so it's probably about eight inches, I'm guessing. There's, you know, my face. So let's go ahead and open this up. Now, what they did was they reached out to me and asked me if I wanted to do a review. And I said, yeah, and they sent me a link to their, to their store. It's Amazon and reasonable pricing, but I will give you a link to their store and to this particular product down below in the comment section. And ask if I wanted to, they would send me some stuff if I wanted to do a video. And that's all I had to do was do a video. And I'm like, yeah, sure. And they're like, well, look through our stuff. They've got like the headbands, the headband lights and chairs, little tables, camping stuff, you know. So this is a patch because this is and a little tiny air mattress thing. Okay, so this thing just comes off like that. Okay, I'm gonna roll this out. I'll set you up here. We're in the tent, I'm in the tent because we're gonna sleep out here in the tent tonight. I know it's just in the backyard, but that's okay. So we're gonna roll this out. So it is very light, grateful backpackers. I usually sleep, we usually sleep this way. Might be a game changer, man. I'm not sure, but we'll see. I think Monkey's gonna try hers out. And what I'm gonna do, I'm not just gonna blow this up, lay on it for a minute and tell you whether I like it or not. I'm actually gonna sleep on this tonight and let you know how well it is in the morning if it loses air or anything like that. I see some strings here. I don't like that. I think it's called edui. Anyway, link will be in the description, but I don't like the way that's cut like that. See that? That should not be like that. So I don't like that. Now I told them I will give them, I will give an honest, you know, I will make an honest video and honest review, and that's what I'm gonna do. So this thing, I'm not sure how I'm gonna blow this up, but it's supposed to blow up pretty easy. Now you can get those little bags that you just put a puff air in and blow these things up. But let me see if I can, okay. So I'm gonna blow this up. I'm not gonna use my air compressor. I do have an air pump in there that's made for air mattresses, but I wanna see how much, how long it's gonna take me to blow this up. So I'll be right back with you as soon as I get it blow it up. So stick around and let's see what it looks like. Okay guys, so there it is. It took less than five minutes to blow up with my mouth and I'm not that healthy with COPD. There's not a pillow on it. Now I've seen a guy review one of these that did have a pillow on it. So I'm kind of, that's kind of, I don't know, disappointing, I guess you could say because, you know, a lot of people don't like to carry pillows with them when they're hiking. So I'm gonna lay down here on this and let you know how it feels right now. It's hot in this tent. I don't have the rain fly on, so. Well, first impressions, it's comfortable. I'm not touching the ground. I'm just interested, you know, all night if it's gonna leak any air or not. I wish it had a pillow, but I've seen a guy review one of these. His was blue. It had a pillow. This one does not. Now let's see on my side, I'm a side sleeper. I cannot feel the bottom of the tent. So, a little over a pound. I mean, for backpacking so far, this would be a thumbs up if it had a pillow. So yeah, I'd like to do more reviews of their stuff. So hopefully I can, you know, I'll get them to send me some more stuff. But like I said, I'm not gonna stop here. I am gonna sleep on this tonight and let you know in the morning how good it does. Cause I'm gonna be laying on this all night long. Probably bring my PC out since we're in the backyard and watch some YouTube videos, cause I like to support you guys as well. And then I'll sleep on it tonight and see how it feels. But right now it feels pretty good if it had a pillow. Yeah. All right guys, so there you go. I'll be back with you when I'm getting ready to conk out for the night. I'll let you know how it's doing. It's about 637 o'clock right now. So yeah, I'll let you know if I had to put any air in it through the night and whatnot. So stick around guys, more to come on this mat. Okay guys, so we're in the tent. Brenner's over there. He's got a blankie. Monkey's got her pad. Hers has got a pillow. But my pad, been in the house for a couple of hours. I came out, there's my pad. I got my sleeping bag on top of it for a little extra cause I always have my sleeping bag. So, but I just tried to blow more air into it and it wouldn't take anymore. So it hasn't lost any over a couple of hours. Also, when it's all packed up, it's 10 inches long, four inches in diameter. So that's pretty small. It is 78 inches long. When it's rolled out and blown up and 24 inches wide. So that's pretty good. So there's a couple of specs for you there. You can get it in gray, blue and green. I got the green one. Like I said, I wish it had a pillow, but monkey laid on it too. She was kind of impressed with it. So right now I'm gonna do another review of this light that was sent to us a while back and we haven't, I'll get into that on that video. But so anyway, guys, so there's that and I'll let you know in the morning what's going on. So, see you then. Okay, good morning everybody. So what I'm gonna do is, it's about 9.20. I'm going to go ahead and get dressed and we're gonna roll this thing up and see how easy it deflates and how easy it is to get back into the bag. And I'll give you my thoughts on it. Okay guys, I'm back. Went in the house and spent a little time with monkey and back out. I wanted to show you this right here. This is the valve. You just open the top one and that's what you blow through right there. Put your lips around there and blow. But they say it takes 10 to 15 breaths to blow this up and that's about right. Cause that's about what it took me and I've got COPD and I had this blown up. Probably in about that. I know it wasn't 10, but I don't think it was more than 15 and it was blown up. And it lost no air. I cannot blow it. And the good thing about this, when you blow it up, it'll stop. You can't overfill it or anything. It'll stop. But yeah, I just, I blew it up last night, no problem. Like I said, I got COPD. So a Haker backpacker would not have an issue with this. You can get those portable pumps or you can get those little bags I was talking about that you put a puff air in, roll it up and blow it up with this, with one of those. But I really don't, I mean, I probably won't use one. Now this, you pull that out and you blow it up. Now when you put this back in, you pull the other one out right there. See, so there's two. You put this in to blow it up like that and you cover it up and then you take that out to deflate it. And it's deflated already. So what we're gonna do, we're gonna roll this up and I always roll, remember, always roll, let's see how did they happen. Always roll to the valve. So you can get all your air out, okay? So I can not remember. Let me scoot you back here a little bit. Exactly how this was folded goes like this. Now I'm just gonna roll it up to the end back there with the valve and then we're gonna see how well it fits back in the bag. This is two inches thick once it's blown up. Nothing to it. That last little bit of air, you'll hear it come out. Now, let me see, where's my bag? Okay, let me grab my bag. Okay, now we've got it rolled up. I'm just gonna stick it in the bag. And of course, anytime you roll something up it ain't like it is when you get it new. But then here's my little patches. Oh, I forgot. I could spend a little more time rolling that up better. But that's one thing I don't like is emfuzzies. Because to me that doesn't show quality or craftsmanship. Okay, so there. I do like this idea. All right, now let's put it back in the bag. Oops, put my patches in just in case. Okay, yeah, that's fine. Then you got your little tie thing there. Yeah, nothing to it. Yeah, pretty cool. So, my final thoughts on this thing. All right, this, what is it? Edowy, I think's how it's pronounced. Edowy, Edowy. All right, my dislikes. These things, I don't like that. On a tent, sleeping bag or anything, I don't like that. Has nothing to do with the way it performs. It just, you know, you can trim that off and make it look a little better. To me, that's poor craftsmanship. Like I said, it did not hinder the performance of the pad. Also, I wish it did have a pillow. I went to their store and I'm not seeing one with a pillow. I can see maybe they did it for, you know, hammock campers or even weight maybe, but I don't think that pillow would add that much weight to worry about it. So, I wish it had a pillow. Now the pros, it lost no air. It's about noon right now and it lost no air all night and I was on it all night. It lost absolutely no air comfort. Absolutely, it is comfortable. Is it like sleeping on an air mattress? No, it's not an air mattress. It's an air pad, you know. It's a big difference. I did not feel the bottom of the tent once. No matter how I laid, I laid on my stomach, my sides mostly, because I am a side sleeper. I laid on my back. This thing is comfortable, guys. I love better than sleeping on this hard ground. Now I've had some sleeping pads, some pretty good ones in the past. And this performed every bit as well as the higher end ones I've owned. I'm not gonna mention any names, but you gear, you know, camping gear guys will know probably which ones I'm talking about that did well. This did perform just as good as they did. This is, it's affordable and do I recommend it? Yes, I recommend it. It does get a two thumbs up. Other than those two little nitpicking things, I do recommend this. How do you get one of these? I will have a link in the description box with their store. So you can check out the other items they have. They have some pretty cool stuff. And I will put a link for just this item if you're interested in it. You can get it in blue, gray, or green. Monkeys is blue. I chose green camping thing. You know, peace of mind, right? But, so yeah, I mean, I am very happy with it. Out of five, out of five stars, I would probably give this 3.7 if it had a pillow, it would be four and a half. It's hard to get a five star for me because nothing's perfect and people need to understand that. Now, as far as the company, the conversations with them, and I give them a five for, you know, contact and, you know, getting hold of me or me getting a hold of them, I didn't have to deal with, you know, returning or anything like that. So I haven't, you know, had to use them guys. But as far as the company, when they got a hold of me from then on, email after email, if I send an email, I get an email back within 24 hours. So yeah, communication is awesome with the guys. I would like to try more of their products. So hopefully they'll send me more because so far I am very satisfied with this. If it wasn't for the little stringy stuff, I'd probably give it a four star. I think that needs to be kept in mind. You know, my trade is a mechanic, fabricator, welder, fabricator. You know, I wouldn't send something I welded with a stick welder out without grinding it. You know, it has nothing to do with the performance. It just looks good and it shows you take your time. So keep that in mind. If you're watching this guys, keep that in mind. Other than that, it would have gotten a four star, probably would have got a four and a half star if it had a pillow, but that's not a deal breaker for me. You know, backpackers, you know, it's not really a big deal. I understand maybe the pillow because they are a little bulkier. You know, for this will be perfect. I have, you know, this is the first time I've used it. So I can't wait to get it in my hammock tent and see how it performs there. I thought it would slide a lot on the floor of this tent. You know how they are, they're real slippery anyway. Your sleeping bag slide. This pretty much stayed where I put it. Monkeys did too, but she's got a different brand. But this stayed, wherever I put it, it stayed there. And I moved it a couple of times to see if it would slide a lot. And I purposely chose part of the backyard that's not real level to see how it would perform in that area of the, you know, of the test and it performed fine. So I am going to give it two thumbs up. I will recommend it. And like I said, I'll give it 3.7 star, 3.75 stars. I'd like to go four, but, you know, when you get, you know, I like that, you know, I don't like that. That just, to me, that doesn't shout, you know, we're proud of our work. And you know, I told them I'm going to give an honest review and that's what I'm doing. So, you know, do away with that at least. And I would up the stars, but I'm, right now I'm going to stick to 3.75 stars. So anyway, guys, like I said, links in the description go check out their store on Amazon and the link for just this particular one, this particular item, like I said, you can get blue and gray as well. There'll be a link in there too. If you're not interested in anything else out, anything else that they have, but you want to try this out, just click on that link and it'll take you right to this. Okay, so anyway, guys, I appreciate it. Plus it'll help me out a little. So thanks for watching, guys. And thanks for edowy. I hopefully I'm saying that right. For sending this to me, this will be used. I will use it. I don't have a sleeping pad, but now I do. Because we've been, you know, since we've been camping together, we've just been sleeping right on the floor of the tent. And this really helps out a lot. So thanks. And thank you guys for watching. Appreciate it. Shay Bear, the myth, the man, the legend. I'm gone for now, guys. And we'll see you in the next one. Bye-bye and take care.
