2. Properties of the Max Fuchs OD mat in direct use
The purpose of any tourist rug is to provide a comfortable sleeping/lying position while hiking, on the ground. This goal presupposes, first of all,two tasks: to provide thermal insulation of the human body from the ground and protect it from uncomfortable irregularities and especially hard surfaces.
What can we expect from Max Fuchs OD in this respect?
If we are talking about thermal insulation, then, firstly, of course, the isomat material itself is a thermally insulating polymer. A thickness of 1 cm is also quite decent for spending the night on the ground, except in conditions of extreme cold. By the way, the thickness is also suitable in terms of softening the surface, smoothing out its small irregularities, protrusions, pebbles, etc.. P.
An additional thermal "chip" of this model is an aluminum foil coating on one side of the mat. It is worth dwelling on this in more detail. Often, people in connection with such a coating have two questions: why is it needed at all and what should the shielded side be oriented to (to the body or to the ground)?
The purpose of the screen is to reflect heat. From here, the answer to the second question follows logically: you need to turn it towards the body so that the heat generated by you, reflected from the screen, returns to you, and not disperse.It was in vain. If you add a Max Fuchs OD karemat with a good sleeping bag, then heat loss will be reduced to minimum, and a calm and healthy sleep is guaranteed.
There is an opinion that the screen is quickly erased and peeled off. Probably, such experience was received by those unfortunate users who had the misfortune to lay the mat with foil on the ground. If you use a thing according to its purpose, it, accordingly, will last a long time.

And this is very convenient from the point of view that then you will definitely lie on the karemat all night, you won’t accidentally move off it in your sleep and you won’t catch a cold.
