Especialidades JA/Campamento/Colchonetas

Colchonetas tienen dos propósitocs principales:

1. Proveer amortiguación
2. Proveer aislamiento entre el durmiente y el suelo

Colchones inflables

Los colchones de aire pueden proveer mucha comodidad al dormir en el suelo. Desafortunadamente, no son muy cálidos porque no proveen aislamieno debajo del durmiente.

Open-cell foam pads

Open-cell foam is a type of foam padding that is sometimes found in furniture cushions or even in regular mattresses. It is lightweight - though somewhat bulky. Its chief disadvantage is that it soaks up water like a sponge.

Closed-cell foam pads

Closed-cell foam makes the ideal sleeping pad. The closed cells do not soak up water. They are lightweight, comfortable, and compact. Often they are only half an inch (12 mm) thick, so they can be rolled into a small tube and strapped to a backpack. They also serve as an excellent thermal barrier between the sleeper and the ground.
