[@joh8379]

Thank you for the in depth review.

[@joonaslehtonen7965]

First review of this model where i saw how big it is when its packed.

[@jamie3821]

Great video. Recently bought one of these mats. Had the neoair xtherm before this, I have to say the sea to summit offers me a lot more comfort than the neo air and i am no longer rolling off during the night 😁

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

They are very comfy, pleased to hear you are getting on well with it. I Love mine , thanks for dropping by atb.

[@Fellmandave1]

Just got the regular . Looking forward to reviewing it this weekend. Thanks for the video! Enjoy the mat!

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

That's great i will have a look at that, thanks for dropping by . atb.

[@SeniorHiker77]

Nice review and quick look.

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

Thanks, hope it was helpful.

[@AndyWardle]

I’m going off mine. It’s really bulky. Unbelievably comfortable and warm. But I struggle with the size. Better for a minimalist winter camp. Great bit of kit though no question.

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

Yes you have to pack it hard to get the size down great for those 2-4 mile easy hike in camps lighter is better for the long haul. It is my most comfy mat though . Have a great week.

Proper video!

Hi Is it possible that you are going to make a review of the Sea to Summit Ether light xt Exstreme, where you compare it to some of the other winterpads, like Therm-a-rest NeoAir Xtherm, Nemo Tensor Alpine, Exped Downmat 9 and so on...?

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

Hi Thomas , i do not own those pads at the moment but it would be great to see a comparison i agree . Thanks for dropping by.

[@trip_in_the_mirror]

can you write what is the width and length of the mat after put into the bag?

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

Yes i will add it in Description for you.

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

29 cm 11 1/2 inches long x 18 cm 7 inches wide. hope that is of use atb.

[@trip_in_the_mirror]

@@walkaboutphilpots3795 thanks man🙂. Sea to Summit declares for 12x28cm, that's why I asked you about the real size. I bought a Comfort Plus Large self-inflating mat and instead of 17cm it has a width of 20cm when put in a bag

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

@@trip_in_the_mirror Hey if you roll it super tight and put 2 elastic bands around to stop it unfolding i got it to 15cm wide that would be the max unless you are Tom Stoltman .atb.

Ah yes, 13 stone, the measurement used by less than 1% of the earths population, thanks for the enlightenment.

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

1 Percent can make all the difference, said the Buddha ................maybe. Have a great day.

[@michaelsrowland]

I think it's 500 kg. So very heavy

[@lightsguy6752]

Hi mate, great review. Have you had a chance to try it out with the Amok? Thanks

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

Hi no it was heavy rain this weekend but i will pop it in during the week and get back to you , i have a feeling it may not be ridged enough we will see, worth a try . atb. I have a 3.0 which is tighter on the LW standard than their new versions i will try it though.

[@lightsguy6752]

@@walkaboutphilpots3795 Thanks for the answer. I'm planing to buy the new amok in the spring, but for now I need a new mat for winter tent camping. For what I've read the Ether is one of the most comfortable mats out there so if it could do both tent and amok camping it would be great. Otherwise I'll have to buy a fjol because of budget constraints... Maybe you will be the first to try it out because I searched a little bit and I couldn't find anything. Cheers

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

@@lightsguy6752 I tried it today i will upload a vid it does work not quite as ridged as the amok but put it this way IM not buying a Amok winter mat now.

[@lightsguy6752]

[@Utubeisazzho]

The amok hammock is designed for the particular lay of their hammock. It needs a vertical baffle design

[@Utubeisazzho]

What’s the verdict against the amok?

I can't find any at the moment ?

Hi good video. Btw how tall are you dude

Thankee, i am 5 feet 11 inches and shrinking daily , have a great day.

[@eyeswideopen627]

Thank you for info good vlog. BUT why to people blow into the pump bag? Defeats the purpose of keep moisture, mold out of the sleeping mat. LOL . so many do it. Stay well, and thank you.

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

Your Welcome . Static Air is in the Bag , a small puff compresses it to create a full bellow . It may introduce some moisture I agree I will do it without next time. Atb.

[@Jmaccxx]

This is true for a sub par mat but Sea To Summit have an anti microbial treatment added to their TPU. You can blow them up by mouth if preferred.

[@cancerhikes3685]

Pad weights 6lb and as big as the backpack

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

You can roll it to 15cm. 2.89 oz it is big if you want to be.

[@danielteegarden8982]

I don't understand how people can sleep on top of a PVC or Plastic air pad. Sticking to the pad and sweating. Dirty from camping and etc . Then crawling into and on top of pad and then I guess a Plastic or rubber pillow ... NO DAMN WAY ! Sheet and pillow case please ! If they are worried about the weight don't go or stay at Holiday Inn Express. No skin disease for me ! WOW NASTY... lol

[@mathieutallard6328]

Very good video. Since I only camp once in a while in tropical countries, the gray one would be enough for me. Is it water proof and can i use it as a surf board to play in the sea ?

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

Not Shark proof though.

[@mathieutallard6328]

@@walkaboutphilpots3795 Ah ah...As long as it s waterproof.....i don t play far away from the shore !

[@alexandrossimitsis6072]

too heavy and bulky, not ideal for backpacking

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

My Amok Lw is 995 grams so for the insulation value of the xt its not bad but for light weight back packing there are other options for sure.
