Take comfort everywhere you go with the SynMat 3-D 7, a double-sided synthetic insulated sleeping airmat from Exped. With enough warmth to rest easy through a winter night, a pump sack for quick and easy inflation and a technical 3-D design that reduces weight further and increases comfort, usability and support over the standard SynMat 7 from Exped, making it a lighter but still versatile high performer. Ideal for hiking, trekking, backpacking and car camping across 4 seasons.
The Synmat 7 3-D has a heat resistance value of 4.9. At about the same weight a standard 2.5 cm self-inflating mat only offers a R-value of 2.5. EMPA tests demonstrated that regular mats lose 3x more heat to cold ground than to the air. The conclusion is that a warmer mat is more important than a warmer sleeping bag.
Vertical baffle walls inside of the mat, similar to the construction of quality sleeping bags, keep the cold ground at bay and stop any wobble effects, further complemented by the 3-D design. This technical design provides plenty of room to roll and wiggle around on as you sleep, all the way to the edge of the mat.
The synthetic filling is laminated to both the top and bottom of the fabric, which eliminates the loss of loft common to synthetic filled sleeping bags. As with the DownMats, testing was done with the SynMats at EMPA.
Features
Welded baffles between the microfiber filled chambers, unlike traditional airmats, eliminate cold spots and create a comfortably supportive and stable air cushion.
The laminated polyester fabric is both durable, airtight and humidity resistant. The shell‘s top surface is of brushed polyester fabric that provides excellent slip resistance and comfort next to the skin.
Honeycomb structured top surface
The seams are high frequency welded for durability.
FlatValve Technology. Separate flat valves for inflation and deflation simplify handling, these are more durable and protected from damage as they are flat in design and non-protruding.
