Exped Mat Range - Summary

Apr 16, 2018

How to choose an Exped Mat

With so many Exped mats to choose from we've written this summary page to help you make sense of the range. In addition, for Spring 2017 Exped have renamed and re-packaged most of their mats so will also indicate the old name where this is applicable. The new versions also come with an inflation device such as the Schnozzel Pumpbag and the Fast+Lite series mats have a new anti-slip GripSkin coating.

The mat names are logically derived and therefore easy to understand:

Synmat - denotes an airbed mat with Synthetic Insulation in it

Downmat - denotes an airbed mat with Down insulation inside

Airmat - denotes an airbed with no insulation

Sim - denotes a 'self inflating' foam mat

HL - stands for Hyperlite and denotes a Mummy shaped mat

UL - stands for Ultralight and denotes a Rectangular shaped mat

Winter - mats with Winter in the title are 9cm thick and therefore more insulative than the standard 7cm thickness

Lite - mats with Lite in the title are only 5cm thick and therefore less insulative but also lighter than the standard mat

Duo - denotes double width mats for a couple sharing
