![]() ![]() “The comfort is absurd! I have absolutely nothing negative to say. You won’t regret it.” - PopPop51 on Moosejaw If you are searching for a quality pad that will provide outstanding comfort, ease of use and years of service, treat yourself to an ExPed MegaMat. Not small or compact, but perfect for car, airplane or horseback packing. The insulation in these mats is excellent. I’m an older individual with a body that shows plenty of wear, so comfortable sleeping positions are not necessarily a given but with these pads, you can tailor the level of support to achieve, at least for me, the ideal balance of comfort, support and warmth. Coupled with the right sleeping bag, some of the best sleep I get is when camping. “I’ve had my first pad for approximately 3 years and have used it during a broad range of temperatures. I don’t mess with my sleep and this mat is really comfy! It’s thick and gives great support for my back and hips. This thing is as close as my 3k mattress. 2 minutes down the road I was passed out and drooling. Inflated in the house, laid down on it for a test. I highly recommend this product which is why as a disabled veteran I own two sizes.” - afriendcares4u on Moosejaw They are also so much lighter than other blow up pads. I love that it has insulated padding within and I think that makes a difference. I absolutely love it! I’ve owned other sleeping pads and blow up mattress’s but they just do not compare. It is so comfortable even for a side sleeper who also has back and hip issues. In summary, I'd recommend this comfy setup if you have the time and patience to deal with it afterwards.“I own a Duo and also this single MegaMat 10. No matter how I mess with the inflate/deflate valves, there's always air stuck in the mat. I spend around 20 minutes every time attempting to get it nice and flat and eventually give up. Secondly, good luck ever fully deflating the mat. Yes, my expectations are correct- I know it's not geared towards tent campers and it's not meant to be stowed away and taken out every day. ![]() It's more difficult than any pad, tent, or sleeping bag than I've ever used. Once you have it out of its pack sack, you might as well give up on ever fitting it back into it. Where this sleeping mat disappoints is in its deflating and its storage. The size is just right for car camping in my 2000 Toyota 4Runner, and just big enough for yourself and an SO, assuming you're comfortable with one another. In that regard, I see no way it could be more comfortable. Worth It? Depends on Your Time & Patience Waterproof Compression Bag and Telecompression Bag Note: Even the most elaborate suspension system can only work perfectly when fitted correctly! And as no two backs are identical, we recommend testing backpacks with sample weights in an outdoor specialty shop.ĮXPED sleeping bags come in different lengths and widths, depending on the style, to ensure a good fit for a variety of different users and body types.ĭimensions (closed): 20.1 × 10.2 × 7.5 in Use a measuring tape to measure the distance between the top edge of the shoulders or C7 vertebrae (the one that protrudes when facing down) to the top crest of the hip bone (pelvis). But no rule without exceptions and sometimes a shorter torso length is better, for example in alpine or mountaineering situations where a short back allows easy access to the climbing harness. The center of the hipbelt ideally rests on the hip bone crest (pelvis) in order to bear the bulk of the load (refer to diagram) especially on large internal frame backpacks. Defining torso length is not necessarily critical on a daypack but crucial on backpacking or alpine touring packs, as only perfect fit can warrant transfer of a bulk of the pack weight to the hips. Depending on pack volume and intended use the suspension system of a backpack becomes an essential feature. ![]()
