Jack's Plastic Welding | Guide Paco Pad

The Paco Guide Pad is the original sleeping pad designed by rafters for rafters. When you're camping on the river, you deserve a good night's rest—and this legendary guide-sized pad delivers comfort that lasts for decades.

Why Choose the Paco Guide Pad?

Unlike inflatable air mattresses that deflate from punctures, the Paco Guide Pad uses high-density firm foam that needs no extra air. One cactus needle won't ruin your trip. This durable sleeping mat is built to withstand years of rolling, unrolling, and rugged outdoor use.

Designed for River Rigging

Each Paco Guide Pad includes three grommets and two Fastex straps for easy storage and rigging. Designed to mount on top of dryboxes or coolers, it serves double duty as padding and insulation. Reinforced PVC material on the corners protects high-wear areas from abrasion on rocky terrain.

Hand-Crafted Quality from New Mexico

Every Paco Pad is hand-made in New Mexico from the highest quality materials available. The 18oz PVC-coated polyester shell is waterproof and built to last. The water-tight air valve ensures your pad stays firm trip after trip. Grey webbing straps denote the Guide size.
