So much warmth and comfort, you will never have to sleep cold again with the Exped DownMat 9 Pump Sleeping Pad. This super comfortable sleeping pad is 2 cm thicker than the DownMat 7 and is temperature rated to -36° F. The built-in pump allows for easy inflation after you arrive in camp. The DownMat 9 is built with 700 fill down insulation inside to create an extremely insulative backcountry pad. Very compressible and lightweight, the DownMat packs super small in comparison to other insulated mats and reduces the bulk you would expect with some much warmth. With the DownMat 9 you can carry a lighter sleeping bag, reducing bulk and weight, while experiencing the same level of warmth.

Features:

  • Built-in pump system eliminates the need for oral inflation and reduces moisture inside the pad
  • Dark colors dry quickly
  • European Outdoor Award, Product of the Year
  • Exped only uses IDFL-certified goose down, specially treated to eliminate the effects of humidity that may reach the mat‘s interior
  • Laminated polyester fabric is both durable and airtight
  • Light foam blocks at the mat‘s ends prevent down from escaping or migrating between chambers
  • Packed: 23x16 cm / 9x6in
  • Seams and valves are all high-frequency welded (most secure method of fusing fabrics and materials) to ensure mat integrity
  • Similar to a sleeping bag, baffles between the mats' chambers eliminate cold spots and promote a stable and supportive air cushion
  • Size: 178x52 cm / 70x20in
  • Temperature: -38°C / -36°F
  • Thickness: 9 cm / 3.5inPacksack 170 g / 6 oz
  • Top surface of honeycomb textured fabric provides superior slip resistance and comfort next to the skin
  • Two loops at head end can be used to secure the packsack to the mat when used as a pillow

  • Weight: 955 g / 34 oz

Amazing on snow

Rating:*****
A friend and I made an attempt at Mt Whitney, in California, a couple of weekends ago, and I brought this pad with me. It was a new purchase, so I didn't know how it would turn out, but it packed small and was light, so I was open-minded. Our first night we were met with 6-12" of powder and 10 deg F weather. My friend had a standard inflatable thermarest. Both of us had 0deg down bags. I stayed toasty -- he was "warm enough". When we struck camp, you could see that the snow under where I had slept was still intact and frozen (though packed), while the snow under where he had slept was melted down to the gravel. Obviously, I lost a lot less heat to the ground than he did.

The pad self-inflates to about 1/4 it's final volume. It can be quickly inflated the rest of the way with the hand pump.

I won't argue that the bag isn't expensive, but it's a must-buy if you want to stay warm and comfortable in the cold.

Best Around

Rating:*****
This mattress is one of my best items I have purchased recently and carry in my pack. It has comfort beyond compare. No more sore hips or shoulders in the morning. To me my rest is important on these outings. I sleep without the tossing and turning trying to get comfortable like I have in the past on other products. The cost is well worth the trade off of having sound sleep. It is also light and I really like the way it packs down and stores. My opinion: If you have the money buy it!

This mat is what I was looking for. Lightweight great insulation and the built in pump put it in a class by itself. I am six feet tall and 195lbs and I never felt the ground once - great support. This mat is almost Magic
