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.

    I really like my nemo tensor insulated pad. Pretty quiet and not as crinkly as some of the others. Not a crazy high r value and fairly compact. I would definitely suggest trying one in an REI before buying.

      I like my tensor insulated as well. Be aware that they do have an issue with the fabric welds failing. Once that starts happening, your pad is screwed. This was an issue with pads circa 2021, not sure if they have fixed it yet.

      But I do love the pad while it works…
