Insulated Pongo Pad
Insulated Pongo Pad
The Insulated Pongo Pad is a tapered, three-season inflatable sleeping pad with a 3.1 R-value and 3 inches of loft. Pinneco Mantle synthetic insulation runs the full length of the pad, so there are no dead cold spots from your shoulders to your feet. Inflated, it measures 77 inches long and tapers from 27 inches at the shoulders to 20 inches at the foot — wide where you need it, trimmed where you don't. It carries up to 300 lb and weighs 24 oz on its own.
The taper is built for hammock camping. A wide shoulder box pushes the hammock fabric out for more livable space and a flatter lay, and the included accessory kit (shock cord plus toggles) clips the pad to your suspension so it stays put through the night. The 30D GeckoGrip back is the same trick on the ground — set it on a tent floor and it won't slide around. Spot-welded baffles and the 3-inch thickness keep your hips off the ground for back and side sleepers alike.
Inflate by mouth or with a pump sack through the one-way valve; a separate deflate valve dumps the air fast at pack-up. Packed, it rolls down to 6 x 6 x 9.5 inches in the 40D ripstop stuff sack. The pad ships with the stuff sack, the hammock accessory kit, and a patch repair kit, and it's covered by Kammok's lifetime warranty. Air pump sold separately.

Use cases
Designed first for hammock campers running a Roo or Mantis, where the taper and shoulder box deliver the flattest lay. The non-slip back makes it a clean dual-duty pad for ground nights too, so one pad covers both hammock and tent trips on a three-season kit.

What's the R-value, and how cold can I take it?
The Insulated Pongo Pad is rated 3.1 R-value, which puts it in three-season territory — spring through fall. It's not a deep-winter pad. For cold ground, stack a closed-cell foam pad underneath to bump your total R-value.
Can I use it on the ground, or only in a hammock?
Both. The taper is optimized for hammock lay, but the 30D GeckoGrip non-slip back is the same feature that keeps it from sliding around on a tent floor. One pad covers hammock and ground trips.
How do I inflate it — is a pump included?
You can inflate by mouth or with a pump sack through the one-way inflation valve, which holds air between breaths. A separate deflation valve dumps the air at pack-up. The air pump is sold separately.
Which Kammok hammocks does it fit?
It's sized for the Roo Double, Roo Double XL, Roo Single, Mantis, and Mantis UL. It can feel a little large in the Roo Single Ultralight. The included accessory kit clips it to your suspension so it stays centered overnight.
Will it work for side sleepers?
Yes. The 3 inches of loft over spot-welded baffles keeps your hips and tailbone off the ground, which is what most side sleepers need from an inflatable pad. It supports up to 300 lb.
