Morning all.
Last night I came across a great article comparing the Exped SynMat UL 7 Air vs. Therm-a-Rest NeoAir. Great article and can be found under http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/show...-a-Rest-NeoAir
Has anyone got any advice when comparing the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Xtherm against the Exped SynMat UL 7. Does the same apply?
Will the Exped SynMat UL 7 be warm enough when it gets really cold on the AT? It is rated to -4 C / 25F and I have a Zpacks 20F sleeping bag.
A collegue of mine lent me the Exped Downmat UL 7M. This is an awesome product, it's just it is more expensive and heavier than the Exped SynMat UL 7. It also goes down to -24C which I feel may be a little excessive.
The scores on the doors are as follows:
Exped SynMat Ultralite 7 Sleeping Mat Yellow M
W=52cm / 20.5inches
L=183cm / 72inches
T=7cm / 2inches
Weight = 455g
Rvalue = 3.1
Packed dims = 24x9cm / 9x3.5 inches
Temp rating -4c
Exped Downmat UL 7M
W=52cm / 20.5inches
L=183cm / 72inches
T=7cm / 2inches
Weight = 630g
Rvalue = 5.9
Packed dims = 23x11cm / 9x4.3 inches
Temp rating -25c
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
