Neoair or Synmat I guess. Holey Klymits look tempting but not quilt compatible?

Neoair XTherm. Like a Neoair but toasty warm and not as crinkly

Re: New Sleep mat required
Aside from the usual Exped / Neoair suspects, I think the Vapour from Robens could hold some promise ... good price too.

Looks interesting that. 15% off with HIKE15 code too...
Re: New Sleep mat required
Has anyone used that Robens vapour? Looks virtually identical to the alpkit cloudbase except the Robens says it has some insulation...
In a similar style, I've found these on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072BNWGNZ/ ... LAb6JN0D6W which I might take a risk on for just over £20.

When I travel very weight conscious I use the smallest Klymit with a quilt and can't tell any difference besides the size and warmth compared to the short Neoair X-lite.ScotRoutes wrote:Neoair or Synmat I guess. Holey Klymits look tempting but not quilt compatible?
For me it's perfectly compatible.
It's more comfy than what I would've expected.

Looks similar to the nature hike branded ones and they seem to get favourable reviews for their tents (think big Agnes copies)PaulE wrote:Has anyone used that Robens vapour? Looks virtually identical to the alpkit cloudbase except the Robens says it has some insulation...

Just spent the night on my neoair x lite... it was Ok, I'd say on its limit warmth wise. It was -5.
Went up lovely with my little pump too ;-P

Re: New Sleep mat required
Is it my memory or have the prices of Exped and Thermarest shot up in the couple of years? In November 2015 I paid £80 for an Exped Synmat Winterlite, today you are looking at £130

Is there a seasonal issue? Maybe buy winter kit in May.

Re: New Sleep mat required
I bought mine in November Colin, so if that were the case I'd have expected to see the price drop during the summer. Cath bought a Hyperlite about a year ago and it was in the £80-£85 range so it's just in the past year year that things have gone skyward.ScotRoutes wrote:Is there a seasonal issue?

A quick google shows stock elsewhere - and cheaper too
