The Venus sleeping pad matches the advantages of the Vaude Tour pad with the special needs of women. About 75% of all women sleep on their sides. That"s why most of their body weight lays on the pelvis. The Venus uses a special foam to distribute the weight evenly over a larger surface. In the foot area, a closed cell foam layer on top of and underneath the perforated mat layer ensures for enhanced insulation at the feet. The pad is self-inflating and extremely comfortable at a minimal weight.
