On the other hand, simple foam camping mats are both much cheaper and more robust than inflatable models. But if you did manage to damage it - less likely than most mats - then a small repair kit is included, tucked into a pocket in the stuffsack. Klymalite lofted synthetic insulation in the pad offers exceptional warmth without the dreaded crinkle noise of other insulated pads. The upside to this is that deflation is extremely fast, so the whole thing can be rolled away in a couple of minutes tops.
It’s no wonder that the Xlite has won the editor’s choice award in Backpacker magazine for its innovative design. The RidgeRest also has an aluminised surface which works alongside the grooves in boosting your warmth.

We've found the width just adequate for a comfy night's sleep; the reviewer is fairly broad, a size L in clothing terms, and anyone wider than that would probably be better off going up a size.
Kelty reckons its new waypoint is its “biggest and softest” pad yet, and at 76cm wide and a generous 8cm of height, we wouldn’t disagree. To deflate the mat, a little toggle is popped into the valve to hold it open, and then you simply squeeze and roll - it's quick and easy. If you leave the pump bag at home and rely on lung power all the way, it takes at least 25 hefty breaths - enough to leave you a little dizzy even at sea level.
Free yourself from the faff of foot pumps on your next camping holiday with a self-inflating double mat. The comfort deluxe is ideal for tents but was actually designed with campervans in mind – it’d work brilliantly in both. Because there's no foam inside to fight against, deflating this mat is easy, and it can be rolled away in a couple of minutes, though the valve is a bit smaller than some so this is not the quickest mat to deflate. Not one for climbing in the Andes perhaps, but would be fine on high mountain overseas treks or summer Alpine bivvies, and for UK winter hills in all but the very coldest weather. Big Agnes’s distinctive yellow divide mat boasts the excellent combination of being lightweight, well-insulated and pleasantly thick, while also packing away neatly into a compact storage bag.
This is thanks in part to a synthetic fill which lofts up inside the cells of the mat to prevent convective heat loss from your body to the ground.this is a deep mat, and though it is quite floppy there's something about the way the baffles mould themselves around uneven ground that helps to give you a well-cushioned night's rest on all but the roughest terrain. For those looking to save weight, a 2/3 length Airo 120 is also available, though for most of us that's only going to be long enough for the torso and not the legs too. Yes it is only a 3 season mat but with the ThermaCapture and Triangular Core Matrix inbuilt in the Trekker it will keep you nice and warm.
