Anyone got experience of these?
Have taken a punt at £30 in their sale. Seemed light and compact (ish) so ideal if I ever choose to bivi instead of hang.
Here's hoping no one comes along and says they're the pits

Glad you asked...I was tempted by these too, although I was torn ( ) between a Numo and an Airo.
So can anyone shed light on either model?

A Numo is going to be your lightest/most comfy/compact option ... although it won't be as warm as a self inflating mat. Very good buy at £30.
May the bridges you burn light your way

Re: Alpkit Numo - anyone used / opinions
I've got lightweight / thin self inflating versions from their previous sale (or maybe another one before that) so was looking for something a) light and b) compact. Buying compact, light gear fools me into thinking that I am not packing as much gear which is frankly a chore on the bike, whereas really I've got all the same stuff but it just weighs a little less and takes up less space.

I have both.
They are both good mats, I found the Numo is more comforatable, and easier to pack down to a small size.
They both do however, go down overnight. The numo has my hip touching the cold floor within 4 hours. I can find a leak though so maybe its the valve.
I have swapped to an Exped Air Matt. Its pretty good, but a little more money.
