Go insulated man, no real reason not to other than price. When the ground gets cold having a good mat is so much more comfortable. Ive done a couple of fringe trips using a z lite, and could feel the heat being sucked from underneath me. The winterlite is wicked, and warm as. Makes a hell of a difference
Anyone got a synmat winterlite ??
Or just go straight to the downmat winterlite?????
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
Tried finding Hole in the bathtub, its leaking inbetween the ribs almost on the seam, tried patching and hasnt helped... Good excuse for a new one
That's annoying, mine has several patches that all seem to be working well-but on flat parts

@longrange308 Yeah man, Mine in the synmat. Its wicked. Narrowish but very comfortable. Im pretty stockey but don't seem to fall off
If you're on a tight budget, consider the Aliexpress offerings. Just search for 'jr gear primaloft'. Approx $US65.

I tried using the bathtub, it worked but couldn't patch, that system works well for bike inner tubes as well. Nothing worse than waking up in the night and having to blow it back up, esp if someone else is in the tent
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.
