Folding german kip mats

[mercury]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a website that sell folding german kip mats, apart from penrith survival aids, the arktis site and http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/flbkm1ux.html

Cheers

Something like the Z-Lite by Therm-A-Rest?

Edit: ... not the German kip mat ... - sorry about that

Bound to be a stupid question but if you have 3 places that sell them why do you want more?

Im not sure where they are on the website, but im sure they sell 'em, as i bought one there about a year ago. I found it to be very thin, and only of any real use when used with lots of natural insulation. Bit flimsy, too.
Good luck with your search.

Why not just fold your ordinary sleeping pad, that how we used to do in the army.

you could try taylors at kirkby lonsdale i cannot find the kip mat on the site but they had them in store at the weekend.

I like them as they make great seats too, and a foot rest under my computer desk at the mo'. Bit of a pain in a hammock though as they fold up, but not bad for the money. I might stretch out for an imitation of those self inflating mojos this year.

Drop Zone also has them:

They are also designed to fit in the back sleeve of the modern German army rucksacks (to act as padding).


edit: as shown in the flecktarn link

I would agree on it being really too thin to kip on rough ground like we have around here ( on softer ground it would be fine), but for the price it is a well used piece of kit. It folds down just right to slip into the pack, folded makes a nice seat as Space Monkey says, is very long so covers my tall body, nice for picnics and more casual use and as an additional insulating layer which also helps protect your self-inflating mat or give cover for your legs with a 3/4 length. best thing, I brought mine here in my local French city for €3/ £2
