Used in Lapland
Bought this mat for my wife and myself (she’s notoriously cold and uncomfortable when not in a hammock!) for a trekking trip in Lapland.
The mat packs away relatively well - not the smallest, but certainly small enough - it’s really quite light and very quick and easy to inflate and deflate.
Once inflated it is simple to pop into your sleeping bag and get in on top of.
It’s in-bag design means that your body heat remains inside the sleeping bag even on the coldest ground, with no risk of rolling off it during the night. It is also thick enough to be very comfy, on one night I didn’t even realise I was sleeping on a rock until the next day!
On the whole this mat is worth more than the asking price, in my opinion!
Pros: Packable
Lightweight
Very comfortable
Very warm
Cons: Not the lightest or smallest, but for the price, it’s perfect! (Similar products cost far more!)
