Paco Inflatable Sleeping Pad - After sleeping one night on a Paco Pad, it is hard to imagine using anything else on the river. High-density urethane foam inside a welded industrial-strength PVC pouch offers sleeping and sitting comfort. It's self-inflating, so simply press the side release buckles to release the straps, and open the valve. The pad will inflate itself. It needs no extra air to make it work and a small puncture from a cactus needle or a valve left open will not affect a successful night of sleeping. The foam is dense and firm, making for a great night's sleep, and allowing the pad to be rolled up many times without breaking down. Paco Pads also provide extra safety on rafts by padding those hard spots where passengers may hit or get pinched, and provide insulation to coolers. Just leave them unrolled during the day so you can lounge while riding on the boat. This is the feather bed of outdoor camping.
