The Coleman Silver Springs self-inflating camping pad comes rolled up in its own cinch bag. The bag has a quality feel to it; lightweight but durable. Pulling the black clasp back and opening the top of the bag, you'll find the pad rolled up and held closed with two black cloth stretchy bands, an instruction leaflet, and a warranty paper. The bands have a nice amount of stretch and remove and reapply easily. The pad itself feels well constructed as well. It is a little bit longer than I had originally pictured in my head. If you unscrew the grey cap covering the valve, you'll find a white plastic piece with a yellow rubber seal on it. You can push on this to flip it between the inflate and deflate sides, or leave it halfway in between for "fully open". The guide recommends flipping the valve to the fully open position for some time to let the pressure equalize, and then flip it to inflate to get the pad to the fullness you want. From there it is a bit vague as to how it inflates, but apparently it should fill by itself without any further interaction. Unfortunately, this is where I ran into issues. I tried leaving the valve fully open for some time and then switching it to inflate over a period of a few hours, but it did not come close to inflating to the same level the pictures on the product page show. It did manage to fill slightly, as I could hear air rushing out as I rolled it up. But it did not have the same cushiony or fully inflated/unwrinkled look that the product pictures show, and it certainly didn't "inflate in seconds". That being said, its good construction and fairly comfortable foam padding would still make for a good camping pad. I have to wonder if it would work well with some other method of inflation. I hope that I just got a dud and that others have a better experience.
