Getting older means chasing some luxuries I went without for so long 😅 I love this sleeping mat. Tested out in the first (real) winter night this year. Slept comfortably with more padding than I had previously slept on in the outdoors, and stayed much warmer too.
I’ve used the Exped Ultra 7R for remote hiking and search and rescue training, and it has exceeded my expectations. The combination of exceptional warmth, comfort, and low weight makes it ideal for multi-day trips where every gram counts but a good night’s sleep is essential.
The 9 cm thickness provides excellent support, even as a side sleeper, and the R-value of 7.1 gives me complete confidence when camping in cold alpine conditions. The Schnozzel pump bag makes inflation quick and keeps moisture out of the mat, while packing it away is just as easy.
Build quality is outstanding, and it’s noticeably quieter than many other inflatable mats I’ve used. After several nights in the field, I’ve slept warm and comfortably every time.
If you’re looking for a premium four-season sleeping mat that balances warmth, comfort, durability, and packability, the Exped Ultra 7R is absolutely worth the investment. Highly recommended for hikers, alpine campers, and anyone who spends extended time outdoors.
These are great and used with my Jetboil
2 great sizes!! Small size is great and compact and fits into my Jetboil. Larger size great for those extended long hiking overnighters
Fast boil and even when canisters are low they hold a good fuel burn
Highly Recommend
