Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:

Two years of heavy use: mainly car camping but also kayak camping. Our tent, pads, sleeping bags, portable toilet (BLM requirement), jetboil, cooking & eating gear add up to just about 25 pounds. All very compact. Leaving room for fresh fruits & veggies to supplememnt freezed dried meals and, of course, water.

The coldest we have camped is just below freezing and we didn't notice it until we got out of the tent! Very comfortable, even over roots and the gravel which our state parks is intent on putting on every camp site. Requires resting for a while on a flat surface before pumping and pumping takes getting used to. Easy to deflate. Best pumping surface is a picnic table, but with primitive camping you don't have that luxury. If you use it only ocassionally the breathe in mat may be less frustrating.

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:

Used this pad for a winter camping trip to VT - 2 nights near Stratton with temps down to 10 F. The pad was very comfortable to sleep on, and I didn't experience any slippage despite turning often between back and side sleeping positions. Inflation felt a bit awkward, but was easy & quick enough even with my small hands.

Both mornings I woke up to find quite a lot of moisture had built up underneath the pad. None of the other 3 campers had issues with their pads from other brands, so it was something unique to this pad.

I stuffed my hoodie in the pack sack and it made quite a decent pillow.

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:

I go camping at least twice a month, some car camping some back packing. Finally I have found a sleeping pad that helps me get a great night sleep on the ground. I am 5'10" 260 lbs and I love to sleep on my side. This pad finally allows me to carry a compact, comfortable, warm sleeping pad, that allows me to sleep on my side, keeping my hips from hitting the ground. I have tried other foam / self inflating mats, but you have to go big and bulky to support comfort.

Pumping takes some getting use to, but if you take your time, let it self inflate for 30 mins or so, you will be fine...

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:

I bought 2 of these. one with the built in pump and the other without. They are both easy to inflate. If you are looking to save weight I would go with out the pump and the ultra light model will be perfect. They are very warm I have found into low teens and below. Just a tad larger than a Nalgene bottle. I sleep much better now instead of using the foam pads. I have yet to have a leak and I am not very nice to my gear. It does seem to be a bit on the slippery side. but it doesn't bother me. I love these things I got one for me and my girlfriend who is always cold and she stays warm all night. size seems to fit me well I am 5'9" and very broad shouldered. my arms do fall off the sides but I sleep just fine.

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:

I had tried a few of the competitors products, which Exped customer service told me pays them Inventor Royalties. I avoided the Exped because of the higher price, that was a mistake!

The Exped is the only one that comes in a Medium length AND WIDE! I'm on the smaller side, 5'7" & ~150 lbs, so I didnt want a 6.5' mattress just so I don't fall off the pad! Also, the integrated hand pump was a big selling point, I was tired of being out of breath from inflating the competitors product!

I should have bought this earlier! I ride motorcycles and was quite sore from riding the minor dirt roads around Death Valley. Layed down and got great rest and then back up to do it again the next day without an issue!

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:

Love this pad. It takes a while to inflate, but I am more than willing to inflate it because it offers the perfect trade off between being lightweight, compact, and COMFORTABLE. I lay on this pad and pretty much just fall asleep on it it's so comfy. and the best part is it packs down to nothing. It's super light and just really practical. Would definitely recommend for backpacking trips.

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:

I read a lot of positive reviews and then tried the product in-store before buying. I was not disappointed. This is the most comfortable pad I have had and last weekend I went winter camping and even though it got down to 3 degrees I was plenty warm. Very happy with this pad.

The built-in air pump is completely non-functional -- but the product is very easy and quick to inflate the old fashioned way.

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:

I love how small this pad rolls up. That is the biggest issue with me is being small and compact. But I also wanted something that would be conferrable. I use it a lot for traveling because it fold up so nicely and I don't have to worry about sleeping on a concrete floor. It takes me 2 mins to inflate. Yes I timed myself. I don't have to feel lightheaded after blowing it up.

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:

Ok so, I originally bought the XL version (Big guy) of this and thought It was too big to put into my pack. I tried it out for an hour or so just napping on it and WOW it was comfy and warm I was super stoaked with it.

But being the hard head that I am returned it for the Q-core thinking I would enjoy the same comfort and less weight. I WAS WRONG. The Q-core is horrible compared to this pad. The q-core took longer to blow up, it was more of a pain to deflate, roll up and put back in the sack while the Synmat was easy and took less than a minute. I should also mention the synmat felt ALOT more durable and seems like it would last longer.

So it will be a little more bulky in your pack, so what comfort is worth it! I am returning the Q-core for the Synmat today.
