We now use the klymit static v short(non insulated). Cheap and comfortable. No dead arms when sleeping on your side. Weighs under 400gms from memory.

Works even better inside a bivi bag if you use one.

One question for others. I’ve often found mats need to be re inflated slightly in the night. Is this just from air cooling and compressing overnight? Not talking about a slow leak but they all seem to just need a top up after a few hours.

If blown up from your chest the air is warm and when it cools it shrinks. The blow bags that come with most new models prevent this.
