- Hey guys, Tara here from Snowys Outdoors.
Today I have Exped MegaMats single and duos.
And if you're anything like me
and love your comforts of your home bed while camping,
this is the mat for you.
But unlike some other mats,
they also pack down nice and small.
We'll bring the bags together here for you.
We have our single, being 79 long,
25 by 25 centimetres,
and weighing in at 2.4 kilogrammes.
Our duo, 70 long by 30-30,
it's just a little bit thicker,
and weighing 4.4 kilos.
Now we're gonna show you how to inflate the single.
I'm just gonna move this one away.
We'll bring in the single with our clip.
Simply unroll pulling out our single mat,
getting also our pump.
Simple roll.
Coming over to our inflate valve.
Now Exped have got a great technology
where it sits flush with our sides.
We pop it up.
(air hisses)
And you can hear the air starting to go in already.
So when these mats are new,
we do recommend about one to two days
to inflate to its full strength.
If it is a seasoned mat, it's about 10 to 15 minutes.
So when you first get to your campsite,
pop it in your tent, get on with your guide ropes,
come back, and you should be good to go.
Now that we've left it for our 10 minutes in the campsite,
the pump that comes inside your bag
can add in that little bit of firmness
to bring it up to the desired level.
Attach this to your inflate valve
and we simply push down,
(air hissing)
let it fill with air.
So we can pump it to your ideal firmness.
Once you're done with that,
you just unclip it and then close the valve.
Now if you do find that it is
too firm while you're sleeping,
a simple way is to open up the inflate valve
and letting a little bit of air out.
Now this is a one-way valve,
but if we just press it,
(air hisses)
you can hear that air coming out.
That way you can sleep for the rest of the night.
Now that we've inflated our single mat,
we're now gonna talk about the features
that come with our Exped MegaMats.
First, starting with our fabric.
With our top being made from the 50D nylon
and being a velvety texture,
and our base insides being from 75D polyester,
with the inside material made out of open cell PU foam
and both mats being an incredible 10 centimetre thickness
and an R-value of 9.5.
Now we're gonna talk about the size
and dimensions of our both Exped MegaMats.
Both being 197 centimetres long
with our single being 77 and our duo being 130.
(chuckles) giving away my height.
Coming down here to this FlatValve
technology by Exped,
we have easy indication of inflate,
deflate valves making it easy
for inflation, deflation, and adjustment.
Exped also coming in both colours green and red
with its five-year warranty.
That's it for the features on our Exped MegaMats.
Now we're gonna show you how to deflate
and pack up our single mat.
First of all, get that bag ready next to us.
And we're gonna open the deflate valve.
(air hisses)
As you can hear, the air comes straight out.
Okay, we first fold,
let all that excess air out as much as you can.
(air hissing)
And again, sometimes if needed, especially with the double.
(air hissing)
And now we're gonna go into a roll.
Start from the base directing to the valve.
Use your knees to make it easier.
(air hissing)
Now sometimes if you are in a hurry,
luckily Exped's bag is big enough
to pop it in just like this.
But if we give it a second roll,
you're gonna get all that excess air out.
If you close your deflate valve
and we do a quick nother roll to about 80%.
As you can see here, got all of this excess air.
Open the deflate valve again.
(air hissing)
And that gets all that excess air out.
(air hissing)
If we just close our valve off before we pack it,
it's gonna ensure stays a nice size.
Seeing as we got our bag ready earlier,
it's ready to be packed.
Open it up, it's an easy transition in.
Seeing as Exped have designed
this great bag that opens at the top,
we can pack and roll.
We bring our clips around to the centre
doubling as a strap for easy transport.
So that's it for today on the Exped MegaMats.
We can find these in-store or online
at www.snowys.com.au where we offer fast,
free delivery for most of Australia.
Till next time.
