I updated my sleeping pad to the Exped brand.

I was watching a vid on you-tube and they mentioned the 7R and I hadn’t known that the sleeping mats went any higher than 4.5R. Ive had enough of freezing my buttocks off on overnight camps.

I originally looked at the 7, however didnt find many places with that model in stock in a reg length 7 wide. After measuring my bivi I actually required the Long Wide and the 8 kept coming up in stock.

A little heavier than I would have liked for hiking however I have to drag my gear in on a trolley, so it didn’t really matter. If this one works out I may grab a 6 for one of my other packs where weight is more of an issue.

Ill be trying to test out over the next few months.
