I have an Alpkit Airo, the 180 version. I have only used it in the back garden and was certainly comfortable enough. The proper test will come Friday when i use it during my first bikepacking trip!

I've got various mats, Neoair or Alpkit nemo all the way.
Time would be better spent getting the miles in instead of fretting about how many ml of meths to carry...

Exped Down and Synmats.

Down ones are vaguely exciting but can be heavy in certain versions and if going lighter the cost increases. Stu and others swear by the synthetic versions which tend to be closer to Alpkit pricing.
