Hi all,
I've found regular sized air mat (180x50cm) made out of 20D ripstop polyester fabric at local chain outdoor store for ~40$. It has 6 vertical chambers, one valve and it takes few stong puffs to blow up. It rolls down small (think two redbull cans) and takes almost no space compared to my POE Ether thermo 6 and the best thing it weighs in at scant 10.54 oz. on my postal scale. Trying it in the store it felt comfortable and silent if I compare it to Neoar's Xlite which is rather noisy.
My question is would such a mat paired with full lenght 6mm eva mat, or half of Ridgerest be enough for most 3 season use? I remember in BPL staff air mat test they mention that BA clearview with CCF pad should work 3 seasons, or it is best to look away from it and save a bit more to get Neoair small for 80$?
I usually take some CCF as pack frame but I am not 100% sure should I put it on top or under the airmat. I know some put it under to protect the air mat from puncture, others put it on top to get more insulation..
Any thoughts on air mat,
thanks!
