Jack's Plastic Welding | Super Paco Pad

The Gold Standard for Multi-Day River Trips

The Super Paco Pad is the legendary 78" x 28" x 2" self-inflating sleeping pad that's been trusted by river guides, Grand Canyon permit holders, and multi-day paddlers for decades. Built by Jack's Plastic Welding with bombproof 18 oz. PVC-coated polyester and high-density firm foam, this is the pad that redefines what a good night's sleep looks like in the backcountry.

Why Guides Choose the Super Pad

Self-Inflating Simplicity: Pop the buckles, open the watertight air valve, and the 2-inch high-density foam inflates itself. No pumping, no fuss. A small puncture or open valve won't ruin your night—the foam does the work.

True Insulation & Support: With an R-value of 3.42 per inch and extra-firm density, your hips and shoulders stay off the ground even on rocky campsites. The foam won't break down after hundreds of roll-ups, and it provides serious cold-weather insulation against frozen sand or snow.

Built for River Abuse: This isn't a backpacking pad. The Super Pad doubles as boat padding on rafts, insulation for coolers, and a lounge platform on top of dry boxes during long float days. It's designed to take a beating and keep performing trip after trip.

Once You Sleep On It, You're Hooked: After one night on a Super Paco Pad, it's hard to go back to anything else. Many customers keep extras at home as guest bedding because they're that comfortable.
