- Hey folks, Ben from Snowys here.
Today with the Exped DeepSleep Mat range.
Now Exped have produced these to be,
have a slightly more affordable retail price than some of
their better known or premium mats in their range
but they're still really comfortable
and still made to the same expert quality.
Now the key differences they've done,
just simple things or smart things they've done
just to bring the price down a little bit
is that these mats are seven and a half centimetres thick
rather than the 10 or the 15 centimetre
thick mats that they've got, or their more premium mats.
Secondly the fabric is still a nice brushed polyester
but it hasn't got the same stretchy sort of
(indistinct) feel that some of their
more premium mats have got.
But it's still a nice comfortable fabric
and still comfortable to sleep on.
Thirdly it doesn't come with
the little mini pump that you get
with the premium mats
so you need to let it completely reinflate by itself,
buy the mini pump as an extra accessory
or use you breath in the mat a little bit
to make it tighter.
And lastly the bag or the stuff sacks
they are packed away in are just a basic drawer string bag.
The more premium mats are gonna have this
kind of unique side loading bag
that allows a bit more space
if you pack the mat up sloppily to get it inside.
These ones are still oversized
but it's just got the drawstring on top.
Now aside from that they're still made
to the same Swiss quality.
They're still really comfortable mats
just that at retail price,
it's just a little bit more affordable.
Now there's actually five mats in the range,
in the DeepSleep range from Exped.
At the time of shooting the video at Snowys,
we've just chosen to have two sizes in our range,
and that is the largest of the single mats
which is the 7.5LXW here
which measures about 197 centimetres in length,
and 77 centimetres in width.
And we've also got the
DeepSleep Duo 7.5 long and wide plus,
which is a double mat that measures
197 in length also and 132 centimetres in width.
In terms of pack size it's all gonna vary
a little bit depending on which mat that you get.
So this is the single, the 7.5 LXW here,
and this measures roughly 79, 80 centimetres in length
and it's about 25 centimetres in diameter here.
It's a little bit narrower there at the moment,
once it's rolled up it gets bigger
but obviously that depends
on how tightly you roll the mat up.
And this is the Duo here.
Now this is folded in half before it's packed away
so this guy measures about 70 centimetres in length
and it's about 30 centimetres in diameter
once again depending on how tightly you roll it up
that diameter will vary.
And weights are from, let's start from this guy here,
is about 2.6 kilos, up to 4.6 kilos,
obviously the other mats in the range
are gonna vary a little bit,
they're slightly shorter and narrower.
But anyway, weights up to 4.6 kilos in the whole range.
Now I just want to cover off
on the fabrics that these mats are made off.
Now the tops and the sides here
are a 75 denier brushed polyester,
it's got a bit of a soft feel to it
so it's a nice sleeping surface.
We flip this guy over, also a 75 denier polyester,
doesn't have the same brushed feel about it
but it's a nice durable surface
to sit against the tent floor.
It's got a TPU laminate on the back of this fabric here
that's hydrolysis resistant.
So obviously it's air tight and it also can handle
a little bit of moisture inside the mat
but ideally you want to try not
to get any moisture inside the mat.
And when you do store it, store it with the valves open
so any moisture can escape.
And inside these mats is an opencell PU fine
with cores out of it so it packs up smaller.
And all the fabrics have been Oekotex certified
which means they've been certified
to be free from harmful substances.
That's most of the features,
the last thing I want to show you though
are the valves that are in here.
Now Exped use two valves in their mat system here.
There's an inflate and a deflate valve.
The inflate valve here has a little one way valve on it
which means I can open it up
and the air's not gonna escape,
it's only allowing air in there.
But that does also mean that,
with the use of this little tool here,
I can adjust the firmness of the mat.
So once I'm lying on it at night,
if I was to pump this up over tight,
lie on it and find it's a bit firm,
I use this tool and just push in here,
I can let a bit of air out,
if I do this now we'll hear the air come out,
and adjust the firmness of the mat to my liking,
seal that up again and we're good to sleep.
On the other side is the deflate valve.
Now this also has a little one way valve in it
which allows air to escape but not suck back in.
The one way valve in the deflate valve here
is designed such that if you were
to roll this a couple of times
and you want to get it really small,
you roll it once, squeeze the air out,
unroll it and then roll it again.
And that second time you unroll it,
this valve isn't going to allow the air
to get back in the mat
which just means you can keep squeezing air out
to make it nice and small to get it
back in the bag nice and easy.
That's pretty much all the features
of the Exped DeepSleep Mat range.
These are a more affordable way
to get a mat with these nice square sides on it
that gives a nice big sleeping area on top here.
So I'm not gonna break the bank and you get
a super comfortable deep sleep when you're out camping.
