The DownMat Sleeping Mat with Integrated Pump and Flat Valve from Exped is a comfortable and durable mat which comes with an integrated pump which ensures swift and intuitive inflation of the mat. The flat deflation valve with one way flap is quick and effective. Welded baffles between the down filled chambers, unlike traditional airmats, eliminate cold spots and create a comfortably supportive and stable air cushion.
Both low profile valves - one for inflation and the other for deflation ensure ease of use. As the valves are flat and not on the mat's edge they do not protrude and are therefore protected and durable. Light foam blocks at the Downmat Sleeping Mats' ends prevent down from escaping or migrating between chambers.
Laminated polyester fabric is both durable, airtight and humidity resistant. The shell's top surface is of brushed polyester fabric that provides excellent slip resistance and comfort next to the skin. Dark colors dry quickly. The Downmats seams are high frequency welded for durability.
Two fabric grommets at the head end can be used to secure the packsack to the mat when used as a pillow.
Light and warm: The DownMat 7 Pump has a R-Value of 5.9. At about the same weight a standard 2.5 cm selfinflating mat only has a R-Value of 2.5. 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 only uses IDFL-certified goose down, specially treated to eliminate the effects of humidity that may reach the mat's interior.
