ISPO Award Winner 2023: BACH reLAY 3R Split Sleeping Pad

With a width of 58 cm and a wide mummy shape, the BACH reLAY 3R Split sleeping pad allows you to sleep comfortably while minimizing weight and pack size. »It was obvious to us not to follow what other brands do to save weight and offer a wider pad of 58 cm. 52 cm is too narrow to sleep comfortably according to our standard,« says BACH sleep systems product manager Julien Gautier. »We also like to say that the reLAY 3R Split air mat brings comfort at night but also during the day, thanks to the comfy detachable sit pad.«

Its main idea is to offer a lightweight two-in-one solution when camping or back-packing: In one piece, the BACH reLAY 3R Split is a comfortable, inflatable sleeping pad with an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. »We opted for a horizontal tube construction. This is for us the most comfortable construction, if you lay on it, you barely feel the tubes.« The sleeping pad can be split to get a comfortable inflatable sitting pad with a robust bottom fabric, which is also highlighted in a different color.

»We designed the reLAY 3R Split for those who always hesitate between carrying a sit pad for added comfort or going without it to save weight and hope to find the right rock as a replacement,« Gautier explains. For pretty much no added weight or volume, this is perfect for those who always hesitate to bring a seat on the trails. For weight-conscious travelers with kids, the smaller pad could also be left at home for the time they are still small and added when they need a full-size sleeping pad.

To inflate the pad is easy and quickly done using the included pump-sack. The smart design of the valve allows you to micro-adjust the pressure of the pad and to deflate quickly when you are packing.

The fabric is made of 100% recycled 30D brushed ripstop polyester and has been selected for its soft-to-touch, anti-static, anti-slip, and anti-noise properties. It is also 3rd party certified recycled. »And to make sure your sit pad is robust enough, we used a 75D at the bottom made out 100% recycled polyester,« adds product manager Julien Gautier. The BACH reLAY3R Split is great in balancing versatility, durability, comfort and weight-reduction whilst using eco-friendly materials.
