Exped Synmat UL 7 Sleeping Pad

Exped's SynMat UL 7 is an ultralight and compact mat that still has warm insulation. Made from lighter fabric than other Exped mats, the medium-sized SynMat UL 7 weighs only 460 g and has an R-value of 3.1. The small mat weighs 430 grams and the large weighs 600. The smallest size is 163 cm long and the tallest is 197. It is filled with lightweight, yet warm, microfiber. The outside is abrasion resistant, but the lighter fabric does puncture more easily than the regular Exped mats. The mat condenses to the size of a half-liter bottle making it easy to carry in any pack. Other design features of the SynMat UL 7 include flat air valves and high frequency welded seams. The flat design of the valves prevents them from catching on things or becoming damaged, and the welded seams prevent air leaks. With a 7 cm thickness, this lightweight mat provides plenty of comfort on hard ground. It comes with a repair kit that includes fabric patches and adhesive. Like all Exped UL products, the mat has a two-year warranty.
