FULL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
There are times when you need to sit, kneel or work out in the cold, wet and snowy outdoors. This foldable sitting pad offers you an insulated padded surface plus an even larger non-insulated but waterproof groundsheet-like extension to keep you warm, dry and clean. The groundsheet-like extensions really make a big difference when you’re sitting on wet terrain or snow, keeping your legs from getting soaked.
Besides sitting and kneeling on the clean surface provided by the Sitting pad also gives you a good workspace for fiddling around with your gear, cleaning and maintaining equipment and such. Especially nice when working with camera equipment, cleaning firearms etc.
The padded/insulated section is 48 x 44 cm, with a narrow gap in between the two pieces of closed cell foam insulation. The total size of the spread-out sitting pad is 64 x 64 cm. When folded up for transport the dimensions are 24 x 44 x 2 cm.
The pad fits in most of our backpacks:
- Hatka 12L: external back compartment
- Kahakka 15L and 25L: external back pad compartment
- Medic pack 18L: external back pad compartment
- Kantamus 40L: external back pad compartment
- Kantamus 60L: external back pad compartment
- Jääkäri S, M, L and XL: hydration bladder compartment
Note: The Sitting Pad will fit into the external back compartment of the Hatka 12L and Kahakka 15L. However, as the pad is slightly longer than the pouch, it will stick out a bit when stored.
