Exped Synmat 7 Medium with Integrated Pump

Product Information

The Exped SynMat HL (Hyperlite) LW (Long & Wide), is the world's lightest sleeping mat for its warmth and comfort levels!

Inflation is simple using the separate inflation and deflation Flat Valves (watch the video), these valves sit nice and flat against the face fabric so it is far less susceptible to damage. You can use your breathe to blow up the mat but we thoroughly recommend the use of an ExpedSchnozzelPumpbag or the Exped Pillow Pump to inflate the mat, not only is it a lot easier than blowing it up yourself but it will notintroduce moisture into the mat that could freeze and dramatically reduce the mats performance. Their R-value is 3.1 and thus the lowest of the Exped inflatable range but even these are easily the warmest mats I have regularly used in winter. Comfort Sleeping on an Exped Synmat 7 We will keep customer information safe and secure and will not distribute or sell this information to a third party.

Please note that inflatables such as sleeping mats are not considered as faulty if they become punctured during use and are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty in this event.

It is perfectly suitable for winter conditions, is lightweight, compact and this particular model is suited to regular users wanting the ultimate in lightweight comfort. The SynMat 7 Medium is not just for winter, it works equally well all year round for people who feel the cold. In line with current health and safety guidelines, we reserve the right to refuse any items that are (for whatever reason) not returned to us in a clean and hygienic condition. If you’re not familiar with the SynMat family of inflatable sleeping mats by Exped, the main thing to know about them is that they make for very useful lightweight and comfortable options for cold weather camping. That’s all thanks to their unique construction where lightweight synthetic fibres are laminated to the walls of the inside to protect you when you’re lying on cold ground.

The Exped SynMat Winterlite 7 Long Wide is a brand new mat from the Swiss masters of techy stuff. It does exactly what it says on the box, it is suitable for winter conditions and is very, very light. This particular model is suited to taller users or for those wanting the ultimate in lightweight comfort. The Winterlite mats are not just for winter, they work equally well all year round for cold sleepers. Patjan 7 cm paksuus sekä päästä varpaisiin asti ulottuva ilmatyynyrunko luovat pehmustetun ja vakaan nukkumispinnan epätasaisemmallakin alustalla nukuttaessa. Synmat-teknologiaa hyödyntävä mikrokuitueriste suojaa hyvin kylmyydeltä myös viileämpinä öinä.I consider that there are three broad categories of camping mat: foam, self-inflating and inflatable (see my comprehensive Comparison of Camping Mats article for more on this). Exped are probably the leading company in the manufacture of the latter – inflatable sleeping pads – and best known for their DownMats from which the Synmat differs only in its use of synthetic filling. Makuualustassa on kestävä Exped Flatvalve-venttiili, joka on yhteensopiva pakkauksen mukana tulevan Schnozzel-pumppupussin kanssa. Pumppupussi on helppo käyttää, eikä se kerää kosteutta sisäänsä. Pumppupussi toimii myös vedenpitävänä pakkauspussina, johon saat esimerkiksi vaatteet suojaan kosteudelta. A honey-comb embossed slip resistant 20D polyester is used for the top of the mat and the base is made from standard 20D polyester, both fabrics have a TPU Polyether film laminate to prevent air loss and stop water ingress. Inflation is simple using the two way Flat Valve (watch the video), this valve sits nice and flat against the face fabric so it is far less susceptible to damage. We thoroughly recommend the use of an Exped SchnozzelPumpbag to inflate the mat, not only is it a lot easier than blowing it up yourself but it will notintroduce moisture into the mat that could freeze and dramatically reduce the mats performance.

We first tried the small foam Exped Mini Pump. This is just like a big round sponge that you connect with a small hose and repeatedly squash the air out of to inflate the mat. It’s simple and easy to use but takes a long time to inflate fully. It can be quite frustrating, hunching over the pump for five minutes unable to make it work any faster as you have to wait for the sponge to refill after each compression.

Next-to-skin comfort and anti-slip GripSkin honeycomb-pattern coating. Laminate is air tight and impervious to hydrolysis. Ultralight kit tends to be more expensive than its regular counterparts but, in this instance, the Synmat UL is actually cheaper. That’s presumably because the weight saving is achieved by using a much thinner material which makes it look and feel much more fragile. Which it probably is… Lightweight Exped models have two separate valves: a green inflation valve and a red deflation valve. This gives you a variety of options for inflation. We’ve more or less used all of the different inflation options so can give an overview of how effective each is… Blowing up with mouth/lungs Top: 20 D Polyester, TPU polyether film laminate, hydrolysis resistant, Honeycomb Gripskin coated, Oeko-Tex 100 certified While the integrated pump was nice, we found it more difficult to fine tune the inflation level than other pads. Deflation, however, is as simple as pulling a tab that releases all the air. Unfortunately, there is no way to let the air ease out - this valve is all or nothing. The Sea to Summit Ultralight and Sea to Summit Comfort Light have a similar valve to the SynMat but they both have a small release valve that you can use to fine-tune the inflation while you're on the pad (this is especially key for making adjustments in the middle of the night without waking up your partner). Because of the valve's shortcomings, we ended up over- or under-inflating the pad. Durability
