My exped Synmat ul is starting to delaminate. It’s only a little bit yet, but that little bit is getting bigger, so i guess i will have to buy a new mat in the not so distant future, hope it will hold up for my current trip.

Any recommendations for a light, small packing isolated (i think mine has r 2.9 which is enough for me) and kind of silent mat? Long term usage recommendations welcome.

    FTR, i just received my replacement mat. Since the synmat ul is no longer available, i got the successor mat, the ultra 3r. And another shnozzle bag. Nice. Contact with exped was very good.

      Awesome! Glad to hear it wasn’t a one off experience on my end. They sent an upgrade for me too, since mine was the old style imbedded ‘cat kneading bread’ pump. The shnozzle is quite nice.

      For what it’s worth… Osprey also has awesome customer support. I’ve found several backpacks of theirs thrown out, they’ve sent replacement parts free of charge.

      Nice to hear there are companies like this out there.
