SIM Light

 

Product Description

“SIM“ = Self Inflating Mat: traditional style mats with hollow air channels.
The result: reduced weight and bulk.
Comfortable, slip resistant and durable!
SIM Light 3.8 and 5 were both highlighted in Outdoor Magazin (Germany, July 2003 and November 2004).

Features

* Exped mats inflate quickly with wide air channels and valves.
* Textured polyester fabric is abrasion- and UV-resistant, and easy on bare skin. For improved slip resistance, top surface is honeycomb patterned, although it‘s not so ‘grippy‘ that would prevent easy turning with the bag.
* 2 loops at the end permit securing the packsack (stuffed with clothes) for use as a pillow. Generously sized stuff sacks offer easy packing.
* Only CFK*-free, high grade open cell polyurethane foam.
* High frequency welded seams add strength.
* Lamination process (bonding foam to fabric) gets special attention. Delamination, a common defect in other self inflating mats, is greatly diminished in Exped mats.
* Dark colors for rapid drying.
* Wide mouth valves close with just 1/4 turn. Valves are located on the ends, rather than corners, to prevent damage. High quality molded valves reduce weight and never feel cold.
* Included: fabric patches and textile glue.
