Warm, comfortable and light. Also packs down really small. Recommended.

Great mat. So comfortable, lightweight and great valve system that makes it easy to inflate and de-inflate, and keeps the pressure through the night.Absolutely love it.

Despite the few extra grams I chose the wide model for extra comfort, I do not regret that decision. Quality seems very good, we will see after 3 weeks on the road. The packed size is perfect compared to my self inflating mattress.Inflating with the supplied schnozzel pumpbag is much easier than some evaluations I have read on the internet say it is. 2.5 bags full of air are all that are needed for the long and wide mattress. Like all air mattresses it is a little more noisy than a sleeping pad but much quieter than many others.

Best by comparison

I have been through quite a few pads and this is the best for me in terms of weight/comfort/durability. When you consider that the pump sack works as a very effective waterproof pack liner, the total packaged weight of ~1 lb makes this one of the most efficient options available. The closest comparison in my view is the easily-punctured, uninsulated Nemo Tensor which has essentially the same packaged weight (with a single-purpose pump sack) and that I resorted to carrying an additional pad to place under. It’s also lighter than the sea to summit ether light with similar r value, though admittedly a bit less comfortable. If you had the pleasure of using a REI stratus air, this is similar but a bit more comfortable and less prone to punctures or tears along the seams ... MoreI have been through quite a few pads and this is the best for me in terms of weight/comfort/durability.

If you had the pleasure of using a REI stratus air, this is similar but a bit more comfortable and less prone to punctures or tears along the seams in my experience. The dual purpose pump sack alone makes it a worthy competitor to all the aforementioned pads, never mind the durability and insulation benefits. It is narrow, but as someone who sleeps on their back I do not consider this a significant drawback.

Exped Ultra 3R - Ultralight 3-Season Sleeping Mat Duo / Medium

We've tried a few different brands of mat, and mats tied together, but this blows them all away. Exped's design is super easy to use and you end up with an extremely warm and comfortable mat. They've thought of everything practical here. Most recently used in some -5deg Ladakhi Himalayan nights and combined with a Kiwi Ultralight quilt stayed cosy and warm. Didn't seem to be losing any heat through the ground. The guys at Tom's Outdoor's were really helpful over the phone discussing mat options - very happy!

Great for ultra light camping.

This is the lightest and most comfortable under 13 oz. pad I have ever used. At 3 inches thick, the rocky and uneven ground of Northern Minnesota never touched my back. Also, I stayed warm while sleeping directly on the pad, using my seeping bag as a blanket. The unique shape keeps the weight down while providing the comfort of a full length pad and the weight of a 3 quarter pad. This pad is quiet. Similar to other nylon pads.I found my small battery powered pump works by inflating it through the deflation valve. I then close it and finish by giving it about one breath through the inflation valve.

Great ultralight pad!

I had an Exped pad for YEARS that served me very well. Yes, it was a little noisy, most ultralight pads are. But it packed down small, was lightweight, warm, and lasted me several nights in the Backcountry. Eventually it got the "bubble" I had heard people complain about with exped pads. Honestly, I can't really complain. I more than got my money's worth out of it. It lasted me a few years past the point where I thought "this thing's probably going to go soon". No inflatable pad lasts forever.After that I decided to switch it up and try the sea-to-summit etherlite pad, and although it was very comfortable, it got a hole on night 3 of my first time taking it out!I decided to go back to Exped and I just returned from 6 nights in the Winds and the Exped was great! ... MoreI had an Exped pad for YEARS that served me very well.

I'm not crazy about the vertical baffles. I liked the baffle design of the S2S better. But a pad that holds air is more comfortable than one that doesn't. I will probably use Exped pads and pillows for life. I got this with their mega pillow and I love them both. I would personally say this pad falls into the ultralight category as well. packs down small, is very light, and kept me warm on cold nights.

Light & comfortable & still somehow affordable

Good sleeping mat which proofed itself during a 3 weeks hike on the Lofoten Islands with night temperatures ~10 degrees. PS: was just somehow not delivered the snuffle bag to fill it with air, so the classical way with the mouth did the job. The texture of the plastic is not too unpleasant, the weight/size really good.

Such a great mattress

We have the double pad and got two single pads for solo hiking/camping. We also have the 5R for colder weather. So comfortable and convenient. We’re big fans of all expad pads
