I own a downmat 7 which is great but in an effort to reduce pack weight I am wondering whether I should be looking at a self inflating mat (Torsolite, T-rest prolite plus) with a closed cell foam mat.
– Save 200-400gms…maybe.
– Addition of closed cell adds some safety if inflatable punctures and cannot be repaired.
– Less comfort (I'm a side sleeper, but would probably handle combination of closed cell and inflatable)

Camping in temps down to -10c.

Money aside is this a feasible proposition or will I lose too much on warmth and comfort?
