Exped Synmat 7 Medium with Integrated Pump

Product Information

A honey-comb embossed slip resistant 75D honeycomb embossed polyester is used for the top of the mat and the base is made from plain weave 75Dpolyester, both fabrics have a TPU Polyether film, hydrolysis resistant laminate film to prevent air loss and stop water ingress. When you wake up after a bivvy bag night, in February, with frost on the ground around you the very fact you’re not dead / dying of hypothermia is probably down to one of three things: 1) The quality of your sleeping bag, 2) The quality of your sleeping mat, 3) The quality of your circulation and the sheer heat of your hot, hot, blood. I’ve been using the Ultra-light (UL) series of Synmats and Downmats since they were brought out a couple of years ago, and I still use them as my first choice today. The Hyperlite and its lower minimum temperature brother ‘Winterlite’, build on the UL series technology and evolve the concept for light weight comfortable sleeping mats. A honey-comb embossed slip resistant 20D polyester is used for the top of the mat and the base is made from standard 20D polyester, both fabrics have a TPU Polyether film laminate to prevent air loss and stop water ingress.The top fabric has also been coated with Exped's GripSkin coating, which, as you would expect, grips your skin to minimise the amount you slide around in the night. Top: 20 D Polyester, TPU polyether film laminate, hydrolysis resistant, Honeycomb Gripskin coated, Oeko-Tex 100 certified

The Exped inflatable mats are sufficiently comfortable to sleep on that I almost feel guilty that I am not really camping any more. They feel a bit like cheating.The Exped SynMat 7 Long Wide is a supremely comfortable, warm and durable sleep mat from the Swiss masters of techy stuff. It is perfectly suitable for winter conditions, is lightweight, compact and this particular model is suited to taller users or for those wanting the ultimate in lightweight comfort. The SynMat 7 LW is not just for winter, it works equally well all year round for people who feel the cold. The Exped SynMat Winterlite 7 Long Wide is a brand new mat from the Swiss masters of techy stuff. It does exactly what it says on the box, it is suitable for winter conditions and is very, very light. This particular model is suited to taller users or for those wanting the ultimate in lightweight comfort. The Winterlite mats are not just for winter, they work equally well all year round for cold sleepers.

Lightweight Exped models have two separate valves: a green inflation valve and a red deflation valve. This gives you a variety of options for inflation. We’ve more or less used all of the different inflation options so can give an overview of how effective each is… Blowing up with mouth/lungs The internal insulation is still there, all 160g/m2 of it, making it suitable for temperatures as low as -11C (R-Value is 4) and it’s just as comfortable as the other models in the SynMat 7 family, in fact you actually get 5mm of extra elevation with this. At 735g this ones lighter than the Exped Synmat 7 LW which weighs 1065g – that’s despite them both featuring the same 75D polyester materials – though it’s heavier than the SynMat UL which weighs 595g. We reserve the right to choose an alternative courier at dispatch in circumstances where your chosen courier is unlikely to achieve their expected delivery promise. The Exped SynMat HL (Hyperlite) LW (Long & Wide), is the world's lightest sleeping mat for its warmth and comfort levels!

Their R-value is 3.1 and thus the lowest of the Exped inflatable range but even these are easily the warmest mats I have regularly used in winter. Comfort Sleeping on an Exped Synmat 7 Exped Dura R5 M on erittäin kestävä ilmatäytteinen makuualusta. Mikrokuitueristeensä ansiosta se sopii mukaan otettavaksi vaaroilta vuonoille lähes kaikkina vuodenaikoina. If you’re not familiar with the SynMat family of inflatable sleeping mats by Exped, the main thing to know about them is that they make for very useful lightweight and comfortable options for cold weather camping. That’s all thanks to their unique construction where lightweight synthetic fibres are laminated to the walls of the inside to protect you when you’re lying on cold ground. Ultralight kit tends to be more expensive than its regular counterparts but, in this instance, the Synmat UL is actually cheaper. That’s presumably because the weight saving is achieved by using a much thinner material which makes it look and feel much more fragile. Which it probably is…
