Guys, has anyone got any experience with issue self inflating mats. In particular i'm hoping to find out if they are good in cold weather for insulating you from the ground.
many thanks

brill, cheersI have, they're good and comfy- but not hardwearing. I have a mountain equipment Helios 3.5- good mat, insulates well, it's nice and small and light by my standards. I did have another one, a North ridge- that was bad. The hot fat from bacon in a frying pan put a hole in it on its first outing and that's was that, no repairs held. I still use the Helios from time to time but this is all a few years back, I'm a traditional camper to the core now!
Brill, cheers budI've used mine a lot for kipping on the metal floors of C-17s and Hercs, using a jungle bag. Never had a chill despite the ice sticking me to the metal bits between the non-slip.
