I had one of the first generation mats. Had no trouble for 11 months then (luckily) it started to leak while still inside it's warranty period. When I contacted ULOG their response was something like ... bloody hell, I thought we'd seen the last of these things, yours must be a good one
In general POE mats are actually very good and would happily use another model but I wouldn't trust another Peak Elite. The change of company name from POE to Hyalite didn't really instill much confidence either.
EDIT: Contacted SportsPursuit and cancelled the order. They don't keep stock and only order from the supplier once the "sale" is finished...which is why it takes 2-4 weeks to get stuff (and possibly a lot longer in this case!)
Might just spend £6 on another foil-foam sheet and MTFU :D

Yup it is
Pushed the purchase button on it last week
Just gathering my kit together for some Autumn overnighters
Blessed with some splendid North Devon terrain

Doesn't really seem worth the chillyness over a small down or synthetic bag as it weighs 1.13kg with even my fairly heavy softie 3 weighing less at 900g, just begs the question why?
(i will agree that it is a very good price though)

Well, after all my bleating about wanting to save money and use rechargeable batteries in my spot tracker I pop into Morrison's today and they have Energizer Ultimate lithium AAAs for 48p a pair. Only two packets on the shelf dammit. Use by date of 2025 so not that old stock. No Lithium AAs for my Garmin sadly. :(
Hike-lite are have a closing down sale. There's some good bargains but sizes are limited ... I've just bought a Montane Krypton jacket for £29. Everything's reduced not just stuff under the clearance section, so it's worth taking a few minutes to nosey about
