FAQs
Is the Trek Pro 3 Quad suitable for winter camping?
Yes, with an R-Value of 4.0, it provides excellent insulation and is suitable for year-round use, including colder conditions and winter camping, though extreme sub-zero temperatures might require additional insulation.
How do I clean the sleep mat?
Clean the mat using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and ensure it is completely dry before storing.
What does 'self-inflating' mean?
Self-inflating means the mat contains open-cell foam that expands when the valve is opened, drawing air into the mat. It may require supplemental inflation for optimal firmness.
What are the dimensions of the mat when inflated?
The mat measures 183cm in length and 60cm in width.
Is the TrekEco? fabric waterproof?
The TrekEco? fabric is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It is designed for durability and comfort. It's important to keep the mat dry and store it properly to prevent damage.
How heavy is the mat and what is its packed size?
The mat weighs approximately 1.05kg. Its packed size is reduced by the Core Cutting Design, but it is still larger than ultralight mats. Specific packed dimensions can be found on the product packaging or Vango's official specifications.
Will the mat prevent me from rolling off?
The EasyGrip? embossing on the surface is designed to help reduce slippage and prevent your sleeping bag or self from rolling off during the night.
Troubleshooting
Mat not fully inflating on its own
Ensure the valve is fully open. Allow more time for self-inflation. If still not firm enough, manually inflate by blowing into the valve until desired firmness is reached, then close the valve securely.
Mat deflates overnight
Check that the Fast-Flow valve is completely closed and sealed. Inspect the mat for any visible punctures or tears. If a puncture is found, use a repair patch kit to seal the leak.
Difficulty deflating the mat
Ensure the Fast-Flow valve is fully opened. Roll the mat tightly from the end opposite the valve, forcing the air out. You may need to repeat the rolling process a couple of times.
Mat feels cold
While the R-Value is 4.0, ensure the mat is fully inflated to its intended thickness. A partially inflated mat will offer less insulation. Also, consider the ambient temperature; for very cold conditions, additional insulation may be beneficial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Open the Fast-Flow valve by unscrewing the cap.
Allow the mat to self-inflate for approximately 10-20 minutes. You will see it expand as air enters.
Once mostly inflated, secure the valve by closing it. For firmer support, gently blow a few breaths into the valve and close it securely.

The mat is designed to fit within most standard tents and sleeping bag footprints.
Its R-Value of 4.0 makes it compatible with a wide range of conditions, from mild summer nights to colder spring and autumn evenings.
Care:
Cleaning: Clean the mat using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Always ensure the mat is completely dry before storing it to prevent mold and mildew. Hang it in a well-ventilated area or wipe thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Storage: Store the mat loosely rolled or unrolled in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided stuff sack for protection.
Punctures: While made of durable ripstop fabric, avoid placing the mat on sharp objects. Minor repairs can often be made with a patch kit (sold separately).
