Rab Ultrasphere 4.5
Great mat, lightweight and comfortable
From bikepacking through mountain ranges to multi-day trail running, the award-winning Ultrasphere 4.5 offers peerless warmth for when you can’t compromise on weight.
We recommend using this for:
When both warmth and low weight are crucial, the award-winning Ultrasphere 4.5 is the ultimate packable, featherlight air mat. Its ground-breaking design includes two layers of heat-reflective TILT, which reduce radiant heat loss, and offset air chambers that trap heat within the construction, allowing you to recharge comfortably without the need for high-volume insulation. Combined with a soft, exceptionally lightweight fabric, the mat’s weight-saving construction makes it ideal for bikepacking, thru-hiking, and multi-day mountain running.
With a comfortable tapered mummy shape that eliminates unnecessary bulk, the mat is thick and supportive, so that you can catch vital rest and restore the energy reserves needed for your action-fuelled days on the trail. When it’s time to pitch for the night, the low-profile two-way valve and inflation sack make camp setup quick and easy.
Featuring an included repair kit and unrivalled warmth-to-weight ratio, the Ultrasphere 4.5 is honed for fast-paced exploring in demanding mountain conditions.
Great mat, lightweight and comfortable
An ultra lightweight sleep mat.
I do find it easier to blow up (20puffs!) than use the pump
My rating 9/10
Light compact and not as noisy as my other ones
Hard to comprehend the size of this thing rolled up.
The pumpsacks ok... not as efficient as a S2S one. It's significantly quieter than a S2S ether light, and the surface fabric is comfy to sleep on.
First thing I did was ditch that weird elasticised cover - not sure what RAB designers were on. Just put the mattress inside the pump sack and roll it all up.... too easy.
At this point I am rating this mat highly.
I chose this one because it had a bit more support than the highly ribbed ones. I’m very happy with it and can tell it will last well with the quality. Rab always delivers on quality.
