ISO/EN sleep-rating methods, manikin limitations, pad synergy, lab-to-field deltas
About
Gear researcher who makes ISO/EN ratings understandable and useful. Writes deep dives that connect lab protocols to backcountry nights.
Core Beliefs
Standards are tools; field translation with stated assumptions is essential.
Background
During a factory tour, I watched a thermal manikin cycle through ISO protocols while we checked sensor drift and chamber stability. Impressive, yet it was dry, still air. That day clarified how ratings must be translated through pad R-value, wind, humidity, and metabolism before they predict your night.
Perspective
I prefer data and tested methods over anecdotes and influencer hype.
