Exped Downmats: super comfortable, infinitely warmer and more compact than any other
comparable mat of similar weight. Since down compresses so well, Downmats also packs
very small. Unique pump-packsack doubles as both bellows-pump and pillow.
> Heat loss is dramatically reduced with down insulation inside the mat, as demonstrated by
EMPA, the Swiss Federal Labaratories for Materials Testing and Research, and field tests by
expeditions. The thick cushion of air also provides comfort and smooths out uneven ground. And
as down compresses extremely well, Downmats packs smaller than other insulated pad.
> Unique Pump-
Packsack: just connect
the valves and simple,
safe inflation is in the
bag! Use the packsack
to prevent humidity
from reaching the down,
which otherwise could
cause the goose down to
clump or freeze.

clothes to make a great
pillow. (Packsack can
be fixed to the mat).
The sack is completely
waterproof. Downmats
can be filled with as few
as 10 pumps (about 2
minutes). The inflation
process is assisted by
the down‘s tendency to
expand (once in camp,
just lay out Downmat
with valves open).

> For Downmat 9 Exped received the
2002/3 European Outdoor Award,
Europe‘s most prestigious outdoor
award. Presented by Europe‘s leading
outdoor magazines, there is just
one winner each year. Besides the
mat‘s sheer warmth, this award was
presented to Exped in recognition of
the Downmat‘s superb performance and
overall value.
a > Two wide mouth valves ensure fast inflation and
simple deflation. Just one quarter turn closes the
valve.
b > Similar to a sleeping bag, baffles between the
mats‘ chambers eliminate cold spots and promote
a stable and supportive air cushion.
c > Light foam blocks at the mat‘s ends prevent down
from escaping or migrating between chambers.
d > Laminated polyester fabric is both durable and
airtight. Top surface of honeycomb textured fabric
provides superior slip resistance and comfort
next to the skin. Seams and valves are all highfrequency
welded (most secure method of fusing
fabrics and materials) to ensure mat integrity.
Dark colors dry quickly.
> For use as a pillow, 2 loops at head end can be
used to secure the packsack to the mat.
> Light and warm: According to EMPA‘s test
(SOP00749) the 9 cm Downmats offer a heat
resistance value of 1.6. At about the same weight,
a standard 2.5 cm self inflating mat offers a value
of 0.5, or, just 1/3 that of the Downmat! Further
EMPA tests demonstrated that regular mats lose
3x more heat to cold ground than to the air. The
conclusion: use a lighter weight sleeping bag with
a Downmat to achieve consistent overall comfort,
and still reduce weight and bulk!
> Exped uses only IDFL-certified, 700 in 3 /oz goose
down, treated with Nocar to eliminate the effects
of humidity that may reach the mat‘s interior.
