Klymit X-Wave 3/4 sleeping pad; North Face Snow Cat -12C bag

Starting to go through the cupboards and sell everything I'm not taking away with me on a long ride later this year. Starting with...

Klymit Inertia X-Wave 3/4 length air mat, brand new & boxed EDIT: MAT SOLD

Image

I bought this for a long ride later this year but then decided I want to take a quilt, which I don't think would work very well with the cutouts in the mat. It's unused and has only been inflated to test it works (and have a quick lie down comfort test!).

It's a bit niche - a 3/4 length mat with a couple of cutouts to save weight / act as sleeping bag loft pockets (though nothing as extreme as other Klymit mats).

It's bigger when inflated than the pictures on their website suggest. It's wide, at 63.5 cm, and 122 cm long. It inflates in about 3 or 4 breathes and has a small hand pump to add more pressure if wanted. It's not that thick when inflated, but holds the pressure well, without giving way as easily as thicker airmats do when you sit on them. Seems fairly comfortable but possibly a bit better suited to back sleepers than side sleepers.

It's tiny when packed - just 3x7 inches, and it weights only 297 grams. It's also very tough - Klymit has a video of their mats being stamped and jumped on with no damage. These are the reasons I bought this mat, and I think I'll be replacing it with a longer version without the cutouts, to use with a quilt.

You can't get this in the UK at the moment. RRP is $99 and I paid £89, including VAT via an Amazon outdoor retailer who exports from the US. There is an importer on eBay advertising these but when you add postage and import duty it's about £100.

Looking for £70 including postage.


The North Face Snow Cat -12C synthetic sleeping bag

I've had this mat for about six years I would think, but haven't used it for the last four, as I've had a lighter, smaller down bag since then.

Its in great condition with no signs of wear. It comes with a mesh storage bag (and which it's always been stored in) as well as a compression bag. The insulation is Polarguard. I can't remember quite how warm / cool it is for that temperature rating. -12C does seem like it might be a stretch, although that could just be because I'm now used to seeing the puffiness of a down bag.

RRP was £135. Looking for £45 posted.

Can you take a rough measure of that compressed size?

Cheers.

Sure...

In the stuff sack but not squished its about 40 cm long x 20 cm diam. Squashed down its about 28 cm long x 22 cm diam.

I also weighed it, and although it doesn't really feel it in the hand, its almost 1.5kg...
