Ideas for old self inflating sleeping mat?
Posted: Sun Dec 17, 2023 2:04 pm
Hi,
I'm looking for MYOG ideas on what to do with an old Alpkit Airo self inflating sleeping mat. a part of it has delaminated on both sides and a bubble of outer material inflates and i suspect that is where the air is slowly escaping from. Did think of slicing it and gluing it but it's a 4-5" diameter bubble and would be messy with no guarantee that it would fix it. I was going to treat myself to a new mat in January anyway, however i can't bring myself to just throw the old mat in the bin.
I'm looking for inspiration on what to do with it in a MYOG capacity. As it's got foam in it, so far i'm thinking of a back panel for a rucsac/messenger bag/hip belt or an insulated stem cell bag.
Anyone out there with a good idea?
Marty
