Exped AirMat 7.5 Sleeping Pad

Exped AirMat 7.5 Sleeping Pad description

Summer camping just got a lot more comfortable thanks to Exped Airmat 7.5 Sleeping Pad. Three inches of air hold you well above the rocks and roots your camping partner pitched the tent on top of. Save your breath for the trailthe Airmat's dual valves and single inflation chamber make inflating and deflating the sleeping pad a breeze. If that's not enough, the Pump DLX model includes a foot pump that doubles as a foam padded pillow. The Pump DLX is also seven inches wider than the regular Airmat 7.5.

Bottom Line: Give yourself a lift this summer with the Exped Airmat 7.5.

This is a must have. I use this pad all the time- it's light, the valves don't leak a bit, super cheap (compared to others), and WAY comfortable (no more shoulder or hip hot spots to wake you up at 3:00 in the morning). I sleep better on this pad than any other pad I've used before. I've slept in sub zero conditions as well and it was fine- if you're worried about convection (heat transfer) or sketchy ground, pick up some cheap blue high density foam camping pad for about $5 anywhere and strap that sucker on. The Exped Airmat is the best thing going.

I used the 7.5 deluxe. The pros are it inflates easily, good padding for the weight, and the deluxe 25" width adds more comfort. The major flaw for me is it is very cold---not only does it have no insulation it seemed to suck the heat from my body. If you are doing warm/hot weather camping and want a thicker/wider pad this is for you. I cannot recommend it for anything other than summer camping though--unless you really bundle up or are a very hot sleeper.
