i'm thinking about buying a new mat - for tomorrow night. last minute as normal.

it's cold out and my 3/4 alpkit mat seems to go down over night.

any experiences of the pacific outdoor mat? is it noticeably warmer than the thermarest style mats...

Sooner or later someone will bother to read at least some of it

It's a great mat, better R rating than the Neoair, and it's black

*ahem*, I'm selling my unused (apart from a few tests on the living room carpet) 2/3 Peak Elite. Just haven't gotten around to posting an advert yet (or perhaps I just did :D )

Cheers stu - haven't seen many reviews since the front page change.... love that sigg stove

& don't be so hard on yerself

cheers pedalhead but i'm after the full length.

FWIW have used both the POE and Xped UL late autumn (POE on BB200 too)and in the snow this week. For me the Xped works best - I'm drawn to the POE's light(er) weight, funky design & stealth black, but in practise I've found it seems to deflate more (have tested for leaks knowing their history) and it just isn't as warm or comfy - not having my feet fall off the sides is just 'better' for me.

Having had three Exped's leak air I don't think we can rate them on that point!!

Interesting. Those leaks were manufacturing faults? How good was Exped's service? - was thinking about getting a downmat for v.cold since my synmat UL has so far held up well..

(sorry to hijack)

Hi pedalhead, your peak elite 2/3 mat still for sale as i'm interested, how much do you want inc p&p? Postage would be to Edinburgh.
