Exped SynMat 7 cm with Integrated Pump

The Exped Synmat 7 Sleeping Mat offers the same comfort, weight and compact packed size as the DownMats, but are not as warm, and boasts an ingenious integrated pump for quick inflation.

The Exped SynMat 7 Sleeping Mat represents great value for money since the synthetic filling is cheaper than down and the warmth-to-weight ratio of the SynMat is superior when compared to regular mats.

The synthetic filling of the Exped SynMat 7 Sleeping Mat is laminated to both the top and the bottom of the fabric, which eliminates the loss of loft (thickness) common to synthetic-filled sleeping bags.

As with the DownMats, testing of the Exped SynMats was carried out at EMPA.

Features

• Two wide-mouth valves ensure fast inflation and simple deflation
• Just one quarter turn closes the valve
• High-quality moulded valves reduce weight and never feel cold to touch
• Similar to a sleeping bag, baffles between the mat's chambers eliminate cold spots and promote a stable and supportive air cushion
• The laminated polyester fabric is both durable and airtight
• Top surface of honeycomb textured fabric provides superior slip resistance and comfort next to the skin
• Seams and valves are all high-frequency welded to ensure mat integrity
• For use with a pillow, two loops at head end can be used to secure the packsack to the mat
• The Synmat 7 offers a heat resistance value of 4.9 (standard 2.5 cm self-inflating mat only offers an R-value of 2)
• EMPA tests demonstrated that regular mats lose 3 times more heat to cold ground than to the air
• The conclusion is that a warmer mat is more important than a warmer sleeping bag
• Included: fabric patches and textile glue
