Thread: Sleeping mats

I have an Exped Downmat and I hate it! It's giant and heavy and a pain in the arse. Intend to replace it with a thin thermarest.

Not the UL I take it? They (well the one I have) are about 550g and about the size of a 1l pump bottle when packed.

I don't think so, I think it must be the older gen. It has a built in pump, is about 5-7cm thick when inflated. It's bigger than a 1l bottle when packed and is only torso length. Will be replacing it with a full-length thermarest.

Yep definitely different to the UL then. Mines full length (183*52), bout 7cm thick inflated.

Swap you then. I have the latter and it is thin and boney as is a real pain in my ass (and back, and neck).

Sure. It's the torso length one. I don't have it with me here so I can't check the exact model
