Sea to Summit hiking mat unboxing and talk though

[@LastDays2024]

I got the wide of this one! I have owned many mats and this one is by far the best i have yet to own! Get the (78 x 25 x 1.5 inches) What is weight when you can't get any sleep on a mat that is not right for you?

I got two for me and the missus a couple of weeks back, only tried it once, but she loves it. Great mat at an affordable price for a good nights sleep

Hi im looking at this pad right now on sale for about 60 quid and I like it because of the high R value and low price. I plan to use it with one of those folding mats to get a 5.5 R value. Have you tested it further since then? How do you find the warmth, comfort, size and durability? Any issues with it? Thanks in advance

[@LastDays2024]

Update on the Mat.. I have Never let the air out and for 2 weeks, that same air was put in 2 weeks ago, same shape, from day one!

[@blackllama1]

Sorry I’m not entirely sure what you mean the mat should inflate slowly once you open the valve the mat will stay the same shape. Just get fatter.

@@blackllama1 Does not leak and holds it shape a long time. meaning you wont have to put more air in the mat, even when it gets colder at night.

I have been using it since I purchased it. Have had it in some places with a huge frost quite cold and it has done well. I much prefer it over my older mat. It keeps me nice and warm. I find the size great I have used it on some quite bad ground (worried about poking holes in my tent) and have not had a puncture in it yet. I would defiantly purchase this mat again.

@@blackllama1 Great to hear, i already purchased after seeing some other reviews cause i didnt want to miss the sale. Worst case i send it back. Glad to get that extra bit of reassurance, much much appreciated

[@SimiomusicTV]

hey man, great video, how much time did it take to completely self inflate at the first time?

[@blackllama1]

Unsure I left it for around 3 hours just to make sure. Possibly quicker than that but I was doing other things

[@eyeintheskyakagod]

Why don’t you research the latest on breathing into mats. A test was done in which several dozen mats that used human breath to inflate were cut open and no trace of mould or bacterial colonisation were found

[@blackllama1]

@@eyeintheskyakagod true. Personally I will do that but I can’t say something that goes against what the manufacturer says.

Why you wasted half the time figuring stuff out? Such a waste of time!
