You have got me thinking @PhilHo!
Want to try and avoid hands falling off the side.
Do you notice the 'hold' of the side slightly higher baffle keeping you on the mat?
Are any of you including Craig @craige and Gixer @gixer able to compare the comfort and durability (many people here with older models had blow outs-which someone mentioned is no longer an issue) to the TR-Xlite. Is it much more comfy Gixer?-Sounds like you think so.
Ta for any help any of you can offer.
Postscript according to the 'Bigfoot' Youtube chap the newer models come with the Pumpsack-and the issue with the baffles is resolved on those made after 2016.
Wont link clip but is titled 'An issue with my new sleeping pad- on Bigfoots thing on Youtube.
Much the same size as you Bob (@Bob-W ) but a bit of a sleepy mover so thinking the wide version would do the trick. Happy to wear the extra weight given my tossing and turning. The width at the waist is quite narrow compared to an Xlite-which carries the width a fair way down.I've the Exped Synmat Winterlite and my wife has the Synmat Hyperlite. Both are the M versions. The maximum width is at the shoulder and is a straight taper to the foot area so "just at the very top".
I'm 1.80m tall, 105cm chest (5'11" and 42") and the mat is fine in length but perhaps a little narrow, I don't toss and turn very much but if I did then it would be too narrow but it's a close run thing. I think that the wider versions add a baffle.
