Wanted Winter Suitable mat

[oreocereus]

My partner sleeps really cold. I saw the post in the bargain thread re: the rockrun 50% on sea-to-summit pads, but she's concerned that they still won't be warm enough (she's using my neoair womens as a benchmark - which has an r value of 5.4, while those sea-to-summit pads range from 3.5-3.9).

She's not crazy fussy on weight. She's tall, so "womens" models don't really suit, as they all seem to assume women are no taller than 168cm.

£100 is probably the absolute top end of her budget which limits things a bit.

Anyone have anything?

The comfort plus insulated large I ordered from rockrun yesterday has an R value of 5 and was down from £201 to £89

Or she can have my little used LW downmat 7 for the same price.

Whats the spec on the Downmat - there are several 'iterations' ??

…. depending on specs. I may be interested - if @oreocerous isn't ??

 

[oreocereus]

Yeah, there are quite a few versions - could you let us know the details rog?

 

[Rog Tallbloke]

It's less than a year old. Cardboard sleeve with more detail may be somewhere...

Cheers - looks like this one:

Will talk to my partner. Does it have the pumpsack?

 

[Rog Tallbloke]

No, it has the built in pump like the one in your link.

 

[cathyjc]

Not what I'm after, thanks.

I have a Downmat UL 7M in the loft - 570g (without stuff sack, as that seems to have disappeared somewhere), with a choice of either the pump sack or an Exped pillow pump.

I can get it down to photograph it, is anyone is interested.

(I've gone back to using a CCF pad with a short self-inflating pad added in winter - I sleep much better in discomfort!).

 

[Whiteburn]

Thermarest Z-Lite or clone under an inflatable would add R = ~2
A lot cheaper that a Down mat etc & provides a back up if the inflatable goes flat in the night only downside is ~300g

Would be interested - can't seem to find a "downmat UL 7 M" on the Exped website, are you sure thats the model?

 

[Lemming]

Give me a while to get it down and I'll send photos to you.

That's a really good shout

 

[Lemming]

^ which is pretty much what I have gone back to, which is why the Downmat isn't in use!
Although it's an additional 515g in my case, as I use a solid (no cored foam) short self inflating mat as I find these warmer.

 

[oreocereus]

Is your downmat something like this one?

It's the only current downmat I can find of similar weight.

Have you checked all the shops in the UK? Got my XTherm, past model, for just over 100 pounds not long back. Brilliant mat.
