This is the wide DLX version of the Airmat 7.5cm. Same length and thickness but 17cm wider ( 65cm rather than 48cm)
Tough inflatable sleeping mat. Fantastically lightweight mat with tiny pack size offering mild insulation for summer use. Just as comfortable as the Downmats or Synmats (which is very) but without the extra insulation.
In essence this is an airbed similar to many others but it's built to Exped standards, so the materials and workmanship are all first class plus it has those extra touches, like a non slip sleeping side, that make it stand out from the rest.
Thickness - 7.5cm
Length - 182cm
Width - 65cm
Weight Mat + Sack - 695 + 100g
Packed Size - 25 x 10cm
Wide mouth valves close with just 1/4 turn. Valves are located on the ends, rather than corners, to prevent damage. High quality molded valves reduce weight and never feel cold.
DLX features two equal chambers. Thoughtful design to ensure that one small puncture doesn‘t ruin the entire trip.
Quality construction with high frequency welding.
Textured polyester fabric is abrasion- and UV-resistant, and easy on bare skin. For improved slip resistance, top surface is honeycomb patterned, although it‘s not so ‘grippy‘ that it would prevent easy turning with the bag.
Deflated AirMats roll compactly into an all but invisible package
Repair fabrics and a tube of textile glue are included.

Strengths:
warm, self inflating
Weaknesses:
takes up quite a bit of space
this is a great bit of kit , which i find makes my camping experience much more comfortable, in my view it is better than a therma rest, and certainly better than the cheap foam mat I had before
