Exped's DownMat UL 7 is the perfect sleeping pad to compliment a Feathered Friends sleeping bag. The DownMat UL the ultralight version of the DownMat sporting identically high R-Values. The goose down filling reduces heatloss dramatically. And the thick air cushioning combined with the lightweight polyester fabric is super comfortable and balances out any unevenness of the ground. As down is the most compressible filling with the highest loft properties it creates a phenomenally warm and compact mat.
Two flat valves, one for inflation and the other for deflation allow for quick and easy handling. Their flat design and positioning away from the mat’s edge offers protection and enhance durability.
Internal barriers at both top and foot end prevent down shift between the baffles.
The mat’s fabric is a laminate of ultralight polyester and an absolutely airtight and moisture resistant TPU film. The upper face has a honeycomb structure with slip resistant properties that still allows for easy movement with a sleeping bag. Seams are high frequency welded for durability. Note that this fabric is not a puncture resistant as the one used on the standard versions of the mat and carries a 2 year warranty opposed to the 5 year warranty.
Lightweight and warm: The DownMat UL 7 M for example has an R-Value of 5.9. Research by EMPA, the Swiss Federal Laboratory for Material Testing has shown that 3 x more heat is lost to the ground than the air. This means that a warm mat is crucial!
