More warmth & comfort & much less bulk!
Exped DownMats: super comfortable, infinitely warmer and more compact than any other comparable mats of similar weight. Since down compresses so well, DownMats also pack very small. The integrated pump makes inflation easy.Heat loss is dramatically reduced by the down insulation inside the mat, as demonstrated by EMPA, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research, and field tests on expeditions. The thick cushion of air also provides comfort and smooths out uneven ground. And as down compresses extremely well, Downmats pack smaller than other insulated mats. Exped‘s DownMat 9 was awarded the European Outdoor Award 2002/2003. Europe‘s most prestigious outdoor prize is presented by Europe‘s leading outdoor magazines. Welded baffles between the down filled chambers, unlike traditional airmats, eliminate cold spots and create a comfortably supportive and stable air cushion. The integrated pump ensures swift and intuitive inflation of the mat. Use both hands to inflate the mat within a minute. The flat deflation valve with one way flap is quick and effective. Both low profile valves (pat. pend) one for inflation and the other for deflation ensure ease of use. As the valves are flat and not on the mat‘s edge they do not protrude and are therefore protected and durable. Light foam blocks at the mat‘s ends prevent down from escaping or migrating between chambers. Laminated polyester fabric is both durable, airtight and humidity resistant. The shell‘s top surface is of brushed polyester fabric that provides excellent slip resistance and comfort next to the skin. Dark colors dry quickly. The seams are high frequency welded for durability. Two fabric eyelets at the head end can be used to secure the packsack to the mat when used as a pillow. Light and warm: The DownMat 7 has a R-Value of 5.9. At about the same weight a standard 2.5 cm selfinflating mat only has a R-Value of 2.5. Further EMPA tests demonstrated that regular mats lose 3x more heat to cold ground than to the air. The conclusion: use a lighter weight sleeping bag with a DownMat to achieve consistent overall comfort, and still reduce weight and bulk! Exped only uses IDFL-certified goose down, specially treated to eliminate the effects of humidity that may reach the mat‘s interior.
