Pajak says:

This mat ensures you stay warm and comfortable, making it an ideal choice for cold-weather camping and outdoor activities.
Our Verdict
At 618g, the Alpine Insulated Sleeping Mat is impressively light for a mat with an R-value of 6.0. The tapered shape—narrowing from 65cm at the shoulders to 47cm at the foot—helps save space without feeling cramped. The 6.5cm thickness provided enough cushioning to smooth out uneven ground. The down insulation and the infrared reflective layer added noticeable warmth without making the mat overly bulky when packed.
Inflation with the included pump sack was straightforward, but I needed to top it up with a few breaths to get it to my preferred firmness. I liked that it deflated easily and rolled away neatly without a struggle. The Toray Airtastic fabric felt durable yet soft enough that it wasn’t noisy when I shifted about during the night.
It’s a good fit for anyone looking to keep weight down while still getting a reliable night’s sleep in cold conditions.

ASTM R-Value:
From 2020, there is a new industry standard for measuring the R-value (level of insulation) of sleeping mats – ASTM F3340-18. This new standard is the sleeping mat equivalent to the EN rating for sleeping bags.
You can now directly compare the R-value of mats rated using the ASTM F3340-18 with confidence that is a fair and accurate comparison between mats. In simple terms, the higher the R-value, the warmer the mat.
In general terms, an R-value below 2.0 is for summer use, 2.0 to 4.0 is for cooler 3 season use and 4.0+ is for winter temperatures. This will be also be dependent on your sleeping bag, how cold you sleep etc. Please contact our customer service team if you need advice on choosing the right mat for your activity.
