Exped downmat lite 5 sleeping mat review.
Stay warm with this down lined inflatable sleeping pad from exped.
Downmat hl winter mw.
Sea to summit ultralight insulated regular sleeping mat.
Reviewed in the united states on april 22 2016 this is really great product.
This particular mat also takes up quite a bit of space in your pack and is fairly hefty considering it isn t even a 4 season winter mat.
More warm and affordable over the years our testers have been big fans of exped s down filled pads for the ultimate in lightweight warmth.
This is the big daddy of sleeping pads with a claimed r value of 8.
The sleeping pad is light and compact.
The pump works perfectly.
The down insulated exped downmat lite 5 air pad with minipump is lightweight and compact and it provides excellent comfort all year round.
The downmat lite 5 is less noisy and slippery than expeds synthetic mats such as the exped synmat ul 9 but i wouldn t say that they are the quietest sleeping pads on the market.
At 1 1 2 lbs the wider mat is a little heavier than i would normally use if i was by myself.
What is important for you.
Downmat ul winter lw.
I give 4 stars for the reason below.
Make your choice here.
If you want even more warmth i suggest the downmat ul 7 m which weighs less at 575 grams due to much lighter shell fabrics but is filled with 170 grams of 700 fill power down and has an r value of 5 9 and a temperature rating of 24c.
This version of the downmat 9 was discontinued by exped in 2019.
It was easy to inflate and easy to deflate pack.
I have two of these.
Pick the right mat for your needs.
However it is perfect if you want a wider mat for whatever reason including having a dog snuggle up next to you all night long.
I don t think it is possible to have a mat that is too warm when sleeping in the high country.
