G'day Ben,

The insulation is treated with an anti-microbial so you could blow the mat up by mouth if you wanted to save some weight and leave the stuff sack behind, however the stuff sacks are pretty light weight and help to keep the mat rolled, so they're going to be the most efficient way to inflate your mat on the trail.

G'day Larissa,

The Air Chair Regular is the best fit for the Comfort Light Insulated Women's Sleeping Mats. The Large is a bit too big for either of the Women's models.

G'day Eva,

It would be worth having a read of our blog that explains R-values as it will help you decide what you need. Essentially you'll need to look at mats with an R-value or ASTM of 4 or more for winter conditions. Both the Thermarest Prolite Plus and Comfort Light Insulated meet these criteria so will keep you toasty when used alongside a good quality sleeping bag. The Sea to Summit mat will be a little lighter and more compact and offers a thicker mat, the Thermarest is made from a slightly more durable material, and uses foam for insulation which leads to the slightly larger packed size and weight.

G'day Emily,

Great question, the Comfort Light Insulated Women's & Ether Light XT Insulated Women's are both great options. The Ether Light mats are selling really well and we're getting great feedback from a few staff who have purchased them. Both options will suit your needs, but if you wanted a back-up with the dual layer from shoulder to hip on the Comfort Light then maybe go for that one.

G'day Kirsten, 

Thanks for your enquiry. The dimensions listed in the details and specs will update when you choose a size. The external dimensions of the large are 183cm in length and 64cm in width.
