Opinions - Exped Ultralite Synmat.

[Bearbonesnorm]

My POE AC 3/4 mat sprung a mystery leak after 12 months service. POE were very good and refunded me as the mat's no longer available. While looking through all the NeoAirs on-line I came across an Exped Ultralite 3/4 Synmat for £60 delivered, so bought it.

I could have bought a S NeoAir which is 170g lighter for around the same money but I figured the Exped will hopefully be a bit warmer (R3.1 for the Exped and R2.5 for the NeoAir). Anyone used one? Did I do right? Will my tiny world cave in?

I've not found my regular Neoair to be cold. Even on our winter bivi extravaganza at -35, or whatever it was.

Yeah but I'm getting old

I'm only a couple year behind you.

Got both the synmat and down versions, both have been used in ground temps exceeding anything you'll experience in the UK, great mats.

Not brave enough to try Klymit then?

I did take another look as I found some fairly cheap, even went as far as searching out a few reviews but something about it just doesn't add up.

The Klymit is fine, just needs a leap of faith and a little ingenuity to make a good bed
