Thread: Anyone tried these sleeping mats?

Hi all

Just thought I'd ask if anyone has tried the self inflating sleeping pads from the link below?
They seem to good to be true! 50mm thick, weigh only 350g and are $99!!
Anyone brought anything else off the website?

Keen to hear what people's thoughts are. Also any other recommendations for sleeping pads?

Cheers

Dunno, but it says:

For temperatures above 8°C recommended, for colder use our Vuno Resist.

Can't seem to find the 'Resist' model. Wonder how they compare to the NatureHike models...

I have a similar matt same design just possibly different brand, and my experience is although it is light it certainly is better suited to warmer weather and it didn't provide much cushioning from the ground I could feel the ground through it especially around my hips and shoulders, just bearable if you lie flat on your back.
It's in my box of things I shouldn't have skimped on.....

My opinion now is I'd rather carry a heavier matt that's warmer and comfortable after a long day hunting

Look identical to Aliexpress offers.

I’m with @dannyb, not an item you want to scrimp on.

Thought that might be the case. Thanks for the feedback.
Any recommendations, or what you use?

Used a nemo insulated "astro" on my last trip, comfy as and warm as a warm thing

Any experiences with the bushbuck cumulus LT?

Sounds like bushbuck gear to me ��

Nah some of it is alright. Don't think I would trust an INFLATABLE Bushbuck something though. Rate my tent (Nature Hike clone) and rifle cover, other bits and pieces though.

Klymit stuff has worked well for me and is much cheaper than thermorest. Admittedly I have only had an older thermorest that was absolutely shit (leaked like a sieve) but it put me off enough that I would take some real good convincing to spend $300/400 + on another.

Exped mats are great. Wait till bivouac has a sale....

Thats interesting about the bushbuck cumulus LT. Mine is not much used and now has a slow leak (goes down over a couple of days). I suspect it is coming from the inlet valve as when i push that back in place HARD the leak is slower. I've been pretty happy with my BB gear up until this though. Anyway the insulated nemo looks good but r-value is 2.6...

Exped down mat for winter. They are a little heavier than the tinfoil reflective insulated mats but very quiet to sleep on.
Down mat 7cm 870gr and R=5.8 rated -24 rectangular not tapered one. I get wet feet on tapered mats
they do an ultra lite version with a higher R 7.1 valve ond only 630gr but ultra lite also says to me shorter life.
