Wow, that weight can't be right, it says '25 kg' it must be 2.5kg or that's one extremely heavy sleeping mat.


The weight is correct.
It's a mattress ;-)

I've been using the gelert Xtreme 3/4 mat for about a year now and find it v good. Got fed up with foam ones as they are simply useless in value to the size of the kit your carrying. Took the plunge on a self inflating but they do hit the pocket. Think amazon do the Gelerts now for about £35 but I know I paid about £45 for it last year. Packs down to about the same size as a packed away kettly kettle.

Costs a lot of money but if you invest in one you will realise that it's money well spent. When you lay down on it with just a base layer on you swear blind it is electrically heated. Comfortable, light, packs small and can take a fair bit of abuse too. Packs an R-value of 5.7
At the moment I'm only using a silk liner when sleeping out.

As I mentioned it is expensive but I think it's value for money and I've always had a good nights sleep on it  ;D
