Zero degreeish winter pad

Hey Matthew,
This was just discussed a few weeks ago in the winter hiking section. Might want to browse down there to see what was said – I have the DM 7 Short and love it…but you can read a bunch about both the Dam and DM7/9 in that thread.

I drone on and on about my love of my Exped downmat 9 but for good reason. Without it I would NOT be sleeping out and about in temps even close to zero….but I do and comfortably.

Just found it, Steve. Thanks!

Hi Mathew-

I used a Warmlite DAM several years ago. It was super plush — very warm and comfortable. But, I sold it long ago because of the fiddle factor and the fact that I was always worried about puncturing it with some sharp piece of winter gear.

Now, I just use a single Ridgerest Deluxe Pad. It's a bit bulky, and it's not as warm or as comfortable as a DAM. But, it's warm enough, and it is inherently simple and reliable. In the winter, with cold hands, simple gear is as important to me as weight. (Although in this case, the RRD is also considerably lighter than the DAM.)

Cheers,

-Mike
