Following Microsoft’s announcement to reduce support for Internet Explorer 11 even further, along with their recommendation to switch to Microsoft Edge, we, too, have now decided not to support this browser any longer. This was a conscious decision, on the one hand in order to protect you and your data, and on the other to ensure that we can implement new technologies that Internet Explorer 11 does not support.

Thermal Mats

  • A thermal mat has an open-cell foam core in its interior. When the mat’s valve is opened, the foam core expands as it draws in air. The air is trapped inside the mat when the valve is closed.

    "thermal mat"

    You can adjust the firmness of the mat by inflating it more. When using the mat for the first time or after it has been stored rolled-up for an extended period, it may be necessary to use your mouth to inflate the mat. Warmth from the body can speed up this process – especially if it is cold.

    Caution! You should avoid inflating with your mouth for especially long stays at very low temperatures (on expeditions), as moisture blown into the mat can become frozen on the inside.

  • You can clean your mat with the valve closed using clean water and a fine sponge/cloth/soft brush.
    Rinse well and leave to dry. If the mat remains damp for too long, mould could destroy the covering.

  • Open the valve, roll the mat up, starting from the edge furthest from the valve, and then seal again.
    For a particularly small pack size, you can open up the mat once more, roll it up again and release any residual air that has accumulated in the valve.
    You can also fold the mat lengthways and then roll it up this way to reduce the pack size even further.
    Use the storage bad provided.

  • Keep your thermal mat inflated or with the valve open and store in a dry place, e.g. behind a cupboard or under the bed, as the foam core loses some of its capacity by being stored for prolonged periods whilst compressed.

  • Helping you enjoy your thermal mat for as long as possible:

    • Do not expose the mat to excessive heat (e.g. in a hot car) or open fire.
    • Do not use as a base for cutting.
    • Watch out for thorns and other pointed or sharp objects when using outdoors, and protect the mat with an underlay tarp.
    • The mat is not suitable for swimming with in water or as a sled in winter.
    • Always use the pack sack supplied when travelling.
  • The repair kit included makes it very easy to repair your thermal mat:

    1. Finding a leak:
    If you suspect you have a leak in your mat, you can locate this by firstly inflating the mat and then placing it in water. Air bubbles will escape from the damaged area, helping you to locate the leak. Mark the area, dry the mat and then deflate as described.

    2. Repairing holes:
    Repairing holes requires a process similar to that of repairing bicycle tubes. For small punctures, place one to two drops of glue onto the site of the leak. Let this dry for at least 60 minutes before using the mat.
    For larger leaks, apply the adhesive thinly in a circular motion to the surface, firstly making sure that it is dry, clean and potentially roughened slightly if necessary. Spread an additional thin layer of glue onto the back of the patch. Do not touch the wet glue.

    3. After using the glue:
    When the glue has dried (after approx. 2 to 3 minutes), place the patch on the mat and press down, stroking gently from the centre outwards. Smooth out any bubbles and creases! Afterwards, press down firmly and leave to dry for at least 60 minutes (should the tears exceed 1 cm in length, 120 minutes) or ideally 24 hours. In damp conditions or when temperatures are lower than 5 °C, drying times increase by around 50%.

    Defective valve:
    If the valve is defective, then it can be replaced. Twist and pull the valve with a pair of pliers to remove it. Apply instant adhesive to the lower part of the valve and slide it into the valve opening using pliers. Please ensure that the adhesive does not block the valve opening.

  • On the go
    Roll up the WOLFMAT by opening the valve and squeezing out the air. For a particularly small pack size, you can open up the mat once more, roll it up again and release any residual air that has accumulated in the valve. You can also fold the mat lengthways and then roll it up this way to reduce the pack size even further. Use the storage bag provided to store – the mat will fit comfortably when rolled up tightly.

    At home
    If the WOLFMAT has not been used for a long time, then open the valve and store the mat (unrolled) in a dry place (cupboard, under the bed, etc.). Please note: if the mat remains damp for too long, it is possible that mould could destroy the covering!
