Exped Downmat 7 Short
£79.99
The Exped Down sleeping mats are a revolution to camping. The Down mats are thicker
than normal self inflating mats e.g. Thermarests but slimmer than an air bed.
Instead of being foam filled like a thermarest they contain down feathers. Scientific
tests (details below) have shown these mats to be 3 times warmer than a self inflating
mat of the same weight. The down mats also pack up smaller than other mats as
you only have to compress the feathers and not the foam.
Rather than carry
a heavy, bulky sleeping bag, upgrade your sleeping mat to a Down Air Mat. The
stuff sack is used to inflate the mat and then doubles as an inflatable pillow.

This 3/4 length
version of the Downmat 7 is for those really counting the grams
Two wide mouth valves ensure fast inflation and simple deflation. Just one quarter
turn closes the valve.
Similar to a sleeping bag, baffles between the mats‘
chambers eliminate cold spots and promote a stable and supportive air cushion.
Light foam blocks at the mat‘s ends prevent down from escaping or migrating
between chambers.
Laminated polyester fabric is both durable and airtight.
Top surface of honeycomb textured fabric provides superior slip resistance and
comfort next to the skin. Seams and valves are all high-frequency welded (most
secure method of fusing fabrics and materials) to ensure mat integrity. Dark colors
dry quickly.
For use as a pillow, 2 loops at head end can be used to secure
the packsack to the mat.
Light and warm: According to EMPA‘s test (SOP00749)
the 9 cm Downmats offer a heat resistance value of 1.6. At about the same weight,
a standard 2.5 cm self inflating mat offers a value of 0.5, or, just 1/3 that
of the Downmat! 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 uses only IDFL-certified, 700 in3/oz goose down, treated
with Nocar to eliminate the effects of humidity that may reach the mat‘s interior.
