Full Description
The Exped Dura 8R Mat is a warm and packable 700 Fill power down insulated sleeping mat designed for fast and light camping in colder conditions. With an R-Value of 7.8 the Dura 8R mat is the ultimate in expedition warmth, designed to keep you insulated from the ground in temperatures as low as -40°C. The 75 denier top / 170 denier bottom recycled Polyester construction is durable enough for expedition use, however it is still an air mat so look out for thorns before placing your mat on the ground. Down filled mats have been proven to be 3 times warmer than a self-inflating foam mat of the same weight. Plus, another massive advantage of the Downmat is that it can be packed much quicker and takes up a lot less space in your pack, making it ideal for the fast and light adventure racer and minimalist backpacker.
At 9cm thick the Dura 8R is a very comfortable mat, which is further enhanced by the thicker edge baffles that create a cradle and prevent you rolling off the mat. The mat is easy to inflate thanks to the flat valve system and included pump sack. No more light headedness from manually blowing up your mat after a tiring day.
Similar to a sleeping bag, baffles between the mat's 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..
Tests have demonstrated that regular sleeping mats lose 3 times more heat to cold ground than to the air; therefore thicker mats such as the Exped Dura 8R will keep you warmer than having a more insulated sleeping bag. If you are cold think Sleeping Mat not bag!
The Exped Dura 8R Features
- Flatvalve for rapid inflation and deflation
