Kathmandu Compact

Good – overall a very good sleep mat. a litle on the weighty side almost 200 grams heavier than the thermarest. It does however inflate to a massive 3.5cm which is great after a long day on the track. Also very comfortable on rocky ground. It is also very convinent that is does come with its own stuff sac, repair kit and compressions straps as thermarest, all these are added extras. Compressions straps can then be used for emergency situations. self inflating time is good as it only takes about 10 minutes to self inflate. If more cushioning is required you can put some extra breathes into the mat. Can be picked up from kathmandu on slaes for a bargin length of mat, as longer than the "long Thermarest" mats
