Our Verdict

Rab’s Hypersphere 7.5 Sleeping Mat (Long/Wide) is a premium choice for fast-moving adventures in extreme cold. Weighing 824 grams, it retains an impressive R-value of 7.3, offering outstanding insulation for winter alpine climbs and arctic expeditions without adding unnecessary bulk.

Oversized outer chambers help keep you centred throughout the night, reducing the chance of rolling off. The 800-fill power goose down effectively traps heat, maximising warmth. Inflation is quick and effortless with Rab’s included pump sack, ensuring a hassle-free setup after a demanding day in the mountains.

For those prioritising warmth, weight, and comfort, the Hypersphere 7.5 (Long/Wide) strikes an excellent balance between insulation and packability. It’s a reliable companion for high-altitude missions and extreme conditions, delivering superior performance without compromise.
