I'm after an Exped mattress for fly camping missions. Preferably a 5 or 7L but other than that, I'm open to suggestions with regards to model and down/no down etc etc
In short, anyone have one they want to get rid of?
Cheers

Have a look on all outdoors man, they are an online retailer in the UK that sells on trademe. Their shipping costs are very good (cost like 12 bucks to get my exped mat sent) and they have the best prices on exped stuff I have found. You can buy through trade me or directly through their website.
Last I looked they had the 7s for around a hundy.
With their new winterlite synthetic series they are doing I don't see any reason to go down over synthetic.
You been out in the hills much? Havnt seen you on here in a bit
Hey mate, Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look at their website/trademe.Quote:

I have an Exped Airmat Lite and its probably colder than other mats but I havnt used others so im none the wiser, have used it in some pretty cold places (tahr ballot blocks etc) and never thought it was a problem.Quote:

I have an older Downmat Lite 5, I'd probably go for one of the synthetic mats if I was replacing it now - mostly for the convenience of blowing it up by mouth without worrying about down getting damp.
Had an exped inflatable, now it leaks and is useless, at least with a thermarest there is still somthing under you
Mine came with a puncture repair kit in the stuffsack (and a 5 year warranty, the ultralight versions only have 2yrs IIRC). Of course finding a tiny hole to fix it when you're out in the hills might not be so easy...Quote:

That's annoying, mine has several patches that all seem to be working well-but on flat parts

My Synmat 7 leaks too and I'm buggered if I can find the leak (tried the bath). Piss poor quality really.Quote:

Now looking at replacing previously mentioned leaking mat.
Is the exped winterlite still the go? Looking for one that packs down pretty small, down insulated would be nice. Don't mind using the bag to blow it up with.
Bivouac have some of them on special at them moment too. 25% off.
That's what I wanted to hear :thumbsup:Quote:
