in order to stop my ongoing highjacking of another thread i thought i'd post this in it's very own thread.

anyone had any experience of these???

they look mental and like they're either the best thing since sliced bread or a silly overly complicated idea that will be a waste of time and money.

but.....i'm tempted for the 'ooooo aaaah what the hell is that' factor alone!

anyone.....?

The general consensus here was buy a POE Elite mat...

Function before form and all that

[gairym]

ok, thanks - i did a quick search for threads on 'sleeping mats' but missed this one.

cheers.

Sorry to hijack, but DNF if you read this, was the 290g you quoted on your AC Elite for the full length mat or the 3/4?

Cheers Stu.

So in it's 3/4 form its actually heavier than the 260g neo-air.

So, the question is how does the full length Elite AC compare weight wise to the 405g full length and full width Neo-air?

[gairym]

after loads of reading of reviews etc... i ordered my 3/4 (2/3) length Peak Elite AC mat last night.

am looking forward to getting it out there for a trial run but.....maybe not for a week or two as next week the forecast for here is saying to expect night time temperatures of if -15 (and colder!) and i'm not that keen to find out if my kit will keep me alive!

My weight was full length, got a good one :?

Anyway, it's a probably not going to used, I have a Klymit sat here! Sod carrying additional weight, I'm going for a uber lightweight 'alpine' setup Bag, Quilt, Pillow and Mat are shattering a kilo!

If we're in full on minimal mode-

TN Moonlight Bivvybag 180g
PHD Ultra Minim sleeping bag 352g
Pillow? Clothes in drybag.
Balloon bed 102g (inc. 10 balloons)


634g :D

^^ Wot Anthony said

[slackman99]

Lol,

Baloon bed,

Lol,

I made a nice little balloon bed that involved 8 balloons. My mate was wetting himself with laughter while I was sorting the balloons, but I was smug as it was so light (plus got the hang of tying the balloons).

I did not have a comfortable night, but come the morning, it was properly comfy.......

I had inadvertently rolled over on to my mates 'normal' self inflating mate after he had got up :)

Guess my balloon tying skills have a lot left to be desired (it does pack tiny though!)

[Anthony]

Your either a lover or a hater of the balloon bed.

For fast and light (3 season) one-nighters it's brilliant in my experience. But for normal trips or multiday adventures the neo-air is still better in most ways!

Perfect if you are midget, I'd rip that lot apart just getting in it

Slight hijack but still on topic ... has anyone seen the new NeoAir Xlite mats yet? I think there's a new 4 season model too but as usual I could be wrong
