This is a preview of a member exclusive premium article.
This mini-review is part of Part 2 of our survey of airmats. We have two POE mats here: the Ether Elite 2/3 and Peak Oyl Elite. The Ether Elite 2/3 has now been superseded by the Peak Elite AC - which looks pretty much the same to us. It's a three-season air core mat with a thin layer of insulation bonded to the central region of the top surface. The Peak Oyl Elite is a four-season foam core mat with side tubes to limit rolling off. They claim it is 'the warmest Si pad on the planet', but the web site does not explain what an 'Si pad' is. More marketing spin.
