Jack's Plastic Welding | Grande Paco Pad

The Ultimate in Multi-Day River Comfort

The Grande Paco Pad is the premium 78" x 27" x 3" self-inflating sleeping pad that delivers unmatched comfort for extended river trips and backcountry expeditions. With an extra inch of high-density foam compared to the Super Pad, the Grande is built for paddlers who demand the absolute best night's sleep in the wilderness.

Why the Grande is the Gold Standard

3 Inches of Luxury: The Grande's 3-inch thick high-density foam provides exceptional cushioning and insulation. Your hips and shoulders stay completely off the ground, even on rocky campsites or frozen sand. Once you sleep on a Grande, it's hard to imagine using anything else.

Self-Inflating Simplicity: Pop the buckles, open the watertight air valve, and the high-density foam inflates itself. No pumping required. A small puncture from a cactus needle or an open valve won't ruin your night—the foam does all the work.

Built to Last Trip After Trip: The extra-dense, extra-firm foam is engineered to be rolled up hundreds of times without breaking down. The 18 oz. PVC-coated polyester shell is bombproof, designed to handle river abuse, boat padding duty, and years of backcountry use.

Multi-Purpose River Gear: Beyond sleeping, the Grande Paco Pad provides safety padding on rafts where passengers might get pinched in rapids, insulates coolers, and serves as a premium lounge platform on top of dry boxes during long float days. Many customers keep them at home as spare bedding because they're that comfortable.
