The Exped Downmat 9LW sleeping mat provides an amazing ratio of warmth to weight with down-filled tubes offering superior warmth and comfort whilst maintaining a petite pack size that makes it ideal for cold winter adventures.
700 fill power goosedown is contained within TPU laminated polyester chambers that are hydrolysis resistant and create a lightweight mat with unsurpassed insulation and support. Inflation is easy with an integrated hand pump that also prevents the build-up of moisture inside the mat when inflated by your breath. Exped is an innovative Swiss brand who stand by the quality of their products, which is why each Exped mat is individually tested for airtight integrity prior to shipment.
All mats are designed to withstand 5 times the pressure attained during normal inflation, and they back their products with a 5-year warranty. So you know that the Exped Downmat 9LW is so much more than just a mat!

As far as we know the Schnozzle isn't currently being brought into Australia. We've previously been advised by Exped Australia that the Downmat 9LW has a built-in pump system, that isn't compatible with the Schnozzle style pumps anyway.

Next to skin surface?1 answer
I was wondering if this mat has a non slip next to skin type fabric top layer. I do not want a mat that is slippery against the sleeping bag. Thanks

G'day Lou,
The Downmat 9LW has a polyester top, however, given the shape of the baffles we don't tend to get reports of people having problems slipping around the mat. If in doubt, you could use a lightweight sheet to cover the mat.

Comparison with the STS Comfort Plus XT1 answer
How does this compare with the STS Comfort Plus XT? I have the Comfort Plus (2.5 R Value), but am looking at something for colder trips.

G'day Steve,
The Exped Downmat 9LW will give you a little more warmth, with an R-value of 8, versus the Comfort Plus XT at 5. Apart from that, they have similar size features and packed size. The Exped is slightly heavier at 1.24kg versus 1.115kg. I would trust the quality of both of these mats, so it would really be down to personal preference in terms of choosing which one.
