Exped Mat Review

The exped synmat 7 is an insulated air construction sleeping pad that is quite comfortable.

Exped mat review.

My previous mats i seemed to always wallow off but this thing kept me on it all night. It is exceptionally warm deliciously comfortable and relatively easy to use. In many sectors of innovation smaller lighter and faster is better. However the benefits of this pad are offset by its heavy weight.

The airmat portion refers to no internal insulation as opposed to their downmat down insulated or synmat synthetic insulated options. Exped says of its coatings. The exped airmat hl m is currently the company s lightest and most packable inflatable sleeping pad. With our different mat categories we cover all needs.

For this review i tested the megamat duo 10 lw which is exped s largest model that measures 77 6 inches long 52 inches wide and 3 9 inches thick. We like the synmat s easy to use valve system and that they re located on the bottom of the mat so you don t feel them when sleeping. Make your choice here. The same is true for most outdoor activities with the ultralight movement taking hold and every single product getting cut in half at least.

Exped takes the threat of deflation seriously including a full repair kit with multiple patches glue and a detailed repair manual all stored in its own tiny pouch within the pad s stuff sack. Pu polyether film laminate hydrolysis resistant oeko tex 100 certified whatever that means. While it was nudged out of the top spot by mattresses that are slightly easier to inflate and store and just a little more affordable this mat will provide a lot of joy for any car camping adventure. It feels tough and we didn t experience any air loss of punctures while sleeping on rocks or pine duff.

It easily and comfortably sleeps two average sized adults and fits in most large car camping tents. A mat is much more important than the sleepingbag when it comes to warmth. After reading seemingly endless reviews my quest brought me to an exped megamat 10. I can only imagine hl stands for hyperlight and the m refers to the size in this case medium.

It also has an internal pump which is a nifty feature though most testers found it unnecessary. The exped 7 inflates to 7cm in height as opposed to the exped 9 which inflates to 9cm and is incredibly comfortable as an air mattress should be. After 2 weekend camping trips the exped has helped me regain comfort while camping. Exped megamat 10 overview the exped megamat 10 bucks the ultralight trend and remains crazy comfortable.

As a side sleeper i really appreciated the wide area of the mat. This was one of our favorite pads to sleep on and gave us many good nights of sleep. R value astm 1 to 9.
