Looks like a good option for cold weather use. Just checking to see if anyone has used one.

I have been using the Downmat UL7 for the last two seasons and am very happy.
Super comfy, warm, and light enough when you factor in the comfy warm part.

I have used it from 40 to 0. A heated shelter helps alot at 0.

I am using a long wide mat and a long wide EE 10deg quilt, it is the most comfortable sleep system I have ever used.

I hope they don't suck. Just got my wife and i each one for Christmas as I am tired of big Agnes pads going flat after only a few trips while our neo airs have lasted 5+ years. The big Agnes warranty isn't worth much when its going flat on day one of a fly out hunt.

'lanche, are the downmats that much cushier than a neoair?

I've had the down mats and syn mats , and I do think they are more comfy than the Neo. i have not had any problems with them so far, but I am real careful with air pads ...since I had some BA pads go flat on me in canyonlands a few years ago. Sleeping on slick rock , in the spring with a pad that wont hold air isn't a lot of fun. That trip alone, means most of the time I am taking a CCF back up on most trips.

Kevin, are you talking about the UL7?

I've used the bigger version for several years. It's either the exped 7 or maybe 9. It is wonderfully warm but takes up a lot of space. I can just barely jam the exped and a 0 degree Kifaru slick bag into the lower section of a long hunter.

I had one go bad after using it on a rough concrete floor for a week. It developed a slow leak that I couldn't find and Exped replaced it. Now I always use one of those really thin pads from gossamer gear underneath.

Turns out I have the exped 9. Looking at REI's specs for the medium size, it's about the same packed size as the exped 5, maybe 8 oz heavier and twice the R value.

If you're thinking cold weather, I'd go with the 9.

I have a UL 7 , Angie has a standard 7, and I have the light synmat
