Sea to Summit Comfort Plus Self-Inflating Sleeping Mat

Luxury sleeping pads might seem like an oxymoron to some,

but the Comfort Plus delivers an exceedingly cushy place to rest

at the end of the day. Three inches thick at full inflation, this

self-inflating pad has a nonslip grip pattern on the bottom to

keep it in place throughout the night and is designed with Sea

to Summit’s Delta Core technology—polyurethane foam that

has triangle-shaped chambers within to reduce bulk and weight

while still boasting a respectably warm 4.1 R-value. From $140

Nemo Rave 30

Sleeping Bag

With a large hood that has

a built-in pillow pocket,

the spoon-shaped Nemo

Rave 30—and Disco 30, for

men—retains heat like a

mummy bag should with-

out leaving you feeling as

constricted. We could easily

move around within the bag

and sleep on our side but

still stayed warm on a 33°F

night, thanks to the 650-fill,

water-resistant down insu-

lation, the silky smooth draft

collar, and the draft tube

along the zipper. From $260

Farm to Feet

Cascade Locks Socks

Made in North Carolina with

materials produced in the

U.S., Farm to Feet’s Cascade

Locks three-quarter crew

sock fits securely and com-

fortably, with padded zones

from heel to toe that reduce

rubbing and boost durability.

The blend of nylon, mois-

ture- wicking merino wool,

and Lycra spandex flexes

with your foot and offers

slight compression from the

lower calf down to the arch

while still providing maxi-

mum comfort. $23
