Where to buy an Exped Downmat?

[Womble_Lancs]

I've read the reviews on here and elsewhere and I've decided it's time that I bought an Exped Downmat 9LW. I can see that the UK importer is Lyon Outdoor, but when I follow the links to the shops they supply to, I can't actually seem to find any that stock the downmats. They all seem to just stock the drybags.

Does anyone know of a reputable supplier, please? I'm in the North West, but happy to buy online too, provided the supplier is in the UK.

Cheers

I saw them in Hitch and Hike which is in Bamford.

Not the cheapest shop around but they do have some very nice stuff.

They have the Exped SIM Comfort10LX in stock at £82.99 delivered. They appear out of the Downmat9 at the moment, but have the Exped Downmat 7 in stock.

The Outdoorshop is the cheapest place in the UK to stock these usually. I have bought plenty from them in the past and mine came from there.

My first was faulty (dead on arrival) which was replaced.

I've got the 9LW. It's total overkill in the UK. 7LW?

 

[Womble_Lancs]

I really do get cold, Widu, even when other people complaining of being too hot. I've suffered from it for years

 

[Womble_Lancs]

Ooh, Tamarack looks good, and it's only a mile from where I got my bike MOTd so should be easy to find.

Thanks everyone

I rang Tamarack yesterday and am going down on Saturday. The lady who answered the phone was really friendly and helpful

All this talk of fancy stuff like downmats needs to stop...I've never wanted one, never used one..... but thanks to you guys it looks like I NEED one. My superfly will be here next week, and at this rate, so will my exped downmat.
Why oh why are there so many nice bushy things that I need....

Ask Sally to bring your mat outside to the car park, if you go inside it could seriously damage your bank balance

In all seriousness, how are they in a hammock? I am very tempted at the price I've seen (£70)

It depends which hammock you have, I've only tried one in a bridge and it was horrid, far too tippy for my liking.

They're probably fine in a simple gathered end jobby

At the moment I'm using a dd camping, swmbo has a Coleman x1 though, so, if she thinks I've bought it for her, maybe I won't get the "another mat, what do you need another mat for?......"

Its like going to sleep on a wobble board

I fell out 3 times one night on my 9lw, luckily into deep snow They keep you plenty warm half inflated but are no UQ.
