From base camp to the backtracks, the Ultra 3R LW Sleeping Mat by Exped will have you drifting off to sleep by sundown and back on the track by daybreak.
Light on weight and heavy on flexibility, the mat compacts to fit with your backpack tackle. Incorporating Exped’s Synmat technology with an R-value of three, its design offers insulation for enduring most climates. The rectangular-shaped ‘Long Wide’ mat features Comformt Cradle design components. Feel supported during your slumber owed to securing side rails, while head-to-toe air chambers offer a level of durability only dreamed about. Recycled Ripstop polyester construction prevents plastic from going to landfills for peace-of-mind slumbers in comfort crafted with less carbon, water, and energy. Finally, the Exped-pioneered Flatvalve leads the industry in heavy-duty, reliable, and no-fuss inflation.
Be it biking or alpin-ing, the Exped Ultra 3R LW Sleeping Mat is for high-powered human adventures from the stretcher to the summit.
Hi Snowys, are you getting the Ultra 5R LW in stock? If not, would the 3R be OK for Budawangs / OT with a foam mat (like a flex mat or zlite) underneath?

G'day Kylie,
We wont get the Ultra 5R sorry - it's a tough one on whether or not this will be up to scratch for you. I'd say it very much depends on your sleeping bag & wether or not that comfort rating more than covers the climate. The EN testing for comfort ratings is based on a R-value 4 mat....having said that though, if you combined with a flex mat that would give you R-values of 2.9 1.5 - so 4.5 total. If you're happy to carry both mat options for those trips where you need the extra R-value, that would be a good solution.
