We are here today to review and test a new sleeping pad for us - Forclaz MT500 Air from Decathlon. We have been eyeing this pad for quite a while now and finally we got the opportunity to test it. As far as we know this is one of the most popular pads in this price and weight category in the store. And many hikers like to use it when camping. It does look very compact and quite light but is it going to be comfortable in use? We will try to find this out in this video where we will share all the details and our experience with it.

We are a couple who once fell in love with mountains and couldn't get back. So we decided to follow our heart and move from a big city to a small village to be able to do what we love and to create this content. Our goal is to promote the healthy lifestyle, to motivate people to travel more and care for nature around. We are passionate walkers who love hiking, trekking and camping. We offer the detailed information of our hikes and routes, including the map and all the directions, so that you can repeat it if you'd like to.
We choose walking over driving and other types of transportation whenever we can because we learnt that this way we see so much more and can explore and feel the place better. Walking is an excellent activity that has so many benefits to your health and requires no special equipment or practice, so we encourage you to get the most out of it and get out walking.
We speak English, Spanish, French and Russian, so don't hesitate to address to us in your native language.

I keep seeing this pad in ultra-endurance cycling setups and I was waiting for a review so great to see your video about it! I've been using the Robens Prima Vapour 60 for a couple years now, it's a honeycomb cell pad with an rvalue of 2.2 and it was not much more expensive back then (around 60eur), packs to a similar size and weighs a bit less, so I think I'll be sticking to it!

After a night earlier this week on my old super light sleeping pad I was looking for a new one. This seems more comfortable, thanks for the review

It's actually lighter and smaller than the thermorest pro light plus.

Does it sags after sleeping a night on it? I have sagging in the morning and i am not sure if it is just sagging or it is deflating.

@kevinroche3334 9 ай бұрын

I have had that problem with this mat sometimes - make sure the caps are fully shut before sleeping. It's actually very good for hammocks as it curves around the sleeper and doesn't slide too much.

@WalkingNatureWorld 9 ай бұрын

We did experience sagging with most of our pads when inflating with hot air and the temperature outside was colder. Also it can change a bit during the night. Of course making sure that the caps are closed is a good tip too. But sometimes a little deflation is inevitable depending on conditions you are in.

How does it compare to the yellow version (the old one) or are the same?

@WalkingNatureWorld 11 ай бұрын

We think they are pretty much the same from what we could see in the shop itself

@@WalkingNatureWorld great, because they had the "old" yellow version at 55 CAD and the "new" one at 75 CAD, so I got the yellow one (the XL on both). Thanks for the review!!

how did the mold damage look like? is there any way to prevent this?

@WalkingNatureWorld 10 ай бұрын

Yes, now we always recommend using at least a simple fabric air pump that is lightweight but prevents any moisture from getting inside as in the case of inflation by mouth. It looked like black dots formed inside but seen from the outside too.

Great to hear that! This is all comes down to personal preference, we are just so used to honeycomb shape. But the quality of it is beyond doubt as always👌🏻

Just get insulated pad. More R is better. I use 5,9 or 6,9R. And add foam pad on snow. 1,5R is nice when you want to cool down.

Totally agree with you. It is not made for winter camping. Which pad do you use?

@@WalkingNatureWorld summer don't always have warm weather. Night with full moon can be +5c. It can rain for days, better to have insulation. I have exped downmat7 and thermarest xtherm.
