    Comments about Exped Downmat 9 Sleeping Pad w/ Pump:

    A friend and I made an attempt at Mt Whitney, in California, a couple of weekends ago, and I brought this pad with me. It was a new purchase, so I didn't know how it would turn out, but it packed small and was light, so I was open-minded. Our first night we were met with 6-12" of powder and 10 deg F weather. My friend had a standard inflatable thermarest. Both of us had 0deg down bags. I stayed toasty -- he was "warm enough". When we struck camp, you could see that the snow under where I had slept was still intact and frozen (though packed), while the snow under where he had slept was melted down to the gravel. Obviously, I lost a lot less heat to the ground than he did.

    The pad self-inflates to about 1/4 it's final volume. It can be quickly inflated the rest of the way with the hand pump.

    I won't argue that the bag isn't expensive, but it's a must-buy if you want to stay warm and comfortable in the cold.

      Comments about Exped Downmat 9 Sleeping Pad w/ Pump:

      I took this backpacking a couple weeks ago in 40s weather at night. One morning I woke up and briefly forgot I was on a sleeping pad instead of my firm Lebeda mattress at home. Then the reason I first realized I was camping was the sleeping bag around me - not the pad. That moment says it all! 2.2 lbs isn't all that heavy, and I can't imagine ever waking up feeling stiff on this pad. Because it folds in thirds before rolling it up to fit in 9"long x 6"diameter "canister"-shaped stuff sack, I can easily stow it inside a compartment - which I couldn't do with a 21" wide Thermarest roll that had to be attached outside my pack.

      Just compare to the specs of Thermarest Trail Pro (my next top choice) to see how truly amazing and innovative the design is for this DownMat9 pad. Weight is practically the same at 2.2 vs 2.0 lbs. Yet the DownMat9 is almost twice as thick (3.8in vs 2.0) and over twice as warm (the "R" value to insulate you from the cold ground is 8.0 vs 3.8) At the same time the DownMat9 takes up about HALF as much space: it packs up 9" x 6", vs 21"x 4.3" for ThermarestTrailPro (about 340 cu inches vs 633). It's an engineering marvel. Yes, it also costs about twice as much - until you figure in the cost of buying the Thermarest stuffsack separately.

      I also tried out the original version DownMat that used the stuffsack as a pump, and this new innovative built-in pump is so much better and easier. It pumps up firm in just a couple minutes. I store the pad under my bed inflated most of the way, and don't notice any deflation even after several months. The pad seems well-made and durable. Definitely wouldn't get it anywhere near a campfire or other heat-source though!

      Bottom line, the only downside I can see to this pad is the higher price. This pad blows away the competition in every other respect. You aren't paying for marketing a big brand name - people seem to know about this pad mainly through word-of-mouth. You're paying for quality and innovation. You're paying to wake up fresh, well-rested and ready for any adventure. Is there any other piece of equipment that will make a bigger difference in how much you enjoy camping out in a tent? If you can afford it, buy it.
