GO OUT

網友HENDRIK M，收到的消息Therm-A-Rest 在2010年7月會推出Ridge Rest® Solar，是Ridge Rest® Deluxe 的加強版，更暖，更厚，R-Value 更高，但輕了。

特點:
-比Ridge Rest® Deluxe 溫暖 13%
- R-Value: 3.5 (R值越高代表著絕緣能力越強，Ridge Rest Deluxe 3.1)
-重量 510 g (540 g)
-厚度 2CM
-顏色 銀/藍
- 鋁漆(Aluminized)表面
-推出日期 2010 年7月

HENDRIK M還說鋁漆(Aluminized)的裝備會陸續推出，因為都不少公司已經在研究了，相信ISPO 會見到更多相關產品。

Therm-A-Rest who is going to come out with an update to the Ridge Rest Deluxe, called Ridge Rest Solar. Its going to be 13% warmer than the normal version, thanks to an aluminized top, raising the R-Value to 3,5. While TAR claims this happens with no increase in weight, the mat is listed with 510 g for the Regular (51 x 183 cm) version, which is actually 30 g less than the regular Ridge Rest Deluxe listed on the TAR website. The mat is going to be 2 cm thick and comes in silver/ blue in July 2010.

In my opinion we will be seeing a lot of aluminized gear coming out, I heard that some manufacturers as well as cottages are already experimenting with aluminized material so we are likely to see more of it at the ispo.
Aluminized cuben is also already available, so I am sure come Trail Days in the US we could see some UL gear made with this material.
