Thread: Insulated mat help

Nothing is going to have a r value 8 and not be slightly bulky....the closest to warmth you are going to get is the thermarest neoairxtherm at 6.9.

I've slept on frozen ground with a yoga matt no trouble.

My go to is an thermarest neoair xlite but it's not a luxurious matt, it's narrow and reasonably loud to sleep on, some people would have a terrible sleep with one.

So many variables but r value is the best indicator of warmth and if you want something on par with your last one it's going to cost you a shit load or its going to be very bulky
