Lightweight sleep mat

[jacko1066]

On another note, would anyone be able to give me an idea what I should be trying to sell them for on eBay? The neo xlite is brand new never been slept on and the synmat used around 10 times?

id look to get 75% of retail price on xlite and maybe a little less (66%) on the synmat??????

Just 99p it with no reserve. It'll still sell for a good price. They always do.

Cheers for the input pal!!

I really do like the xtherms, they seem to tick all the boxes, but this is purely going to be a spring and summer ground mat for travelling as light as possible, I am actually intrigued by the multi mat, seems pretty good for the price!!

I don't think there's a lighter full length mat than the Superlite Air. The newer ones are better made than previous models but you do have to be careful with them. That and they are a little prone to slipping around a bit. Inflating them takes a couple of minutes and deflating needs to be done completely otherwise they won't pack down as small.

It's probably a spring/summer mat but like I said I've used it in every month and never been cold. Unless you're sleeping in particularly cold conditions then IMO I've never felt the need to use a thermal insulated mat.

I've never been cold on mine either, even in snow and icy conditions. But then, I always take reasonable precautions in bad weather (thermals as PJ's, thermal sleeping bag liner, down sleeping bag) so I don't expect to be cold. Its a lot comfier than any self-inflating mat I've ever slept on too!

The only thing I'd be concerned with the Superlite is the 20D fabric they use, you need to be very careful with that kind of fabric weight, probably allowing for a CCF mat too, at least I would for peace of mind.

Adding a CCF mat negates any benefit of having the Superlite Air in terms of weight lol. You're only sleeping on it, how careful do you need to be?

Exactly

if weight is your only concern why not use a closed cell foam mat? like the multimat regular at 175g or in x-large at 225g. if you want a smaller pack size check out klymit they have regular sized inflatable mats at the 250-260g mark.

 

[DR2501]

Because its the combination of low weight, small pack size and comfort that's usually required, not just low weight. CCF's aren't really comfortable and take up a lot of space.

Isn't the reason that Klymit's are so lightweight because they have huge sections cut out? Not really familiar with them I just seem to remember a test in TGO...

The OP now has loads of options to consider at various prices anyway.
