Product Description
The Exped SynMat Pump is a inflatable sleeping pad, filled with syntetic fiber for insulation and it comes with an integrated pump.
Since the microfiber filling compresses well and is lightweight, this sleeping pad has low weight and volume at the same time as giving much better insulation than closed cell, foam or airmats.
(Exped also delievers the same type of pads with down, which gives even better insulation.)
Features
Filling:
The SynMat has syntetic filling, which gives very good insulation. Specific details can be found on various webpages, as they vary with the different models, but Exped claims about twice as high heat-resitance value compared to a standard self-inflating pad of app. the same weight.
Integrated pump:
It doesn't self-inflated, you have to pump it. This should take a couple of minutes, you can regulate how soft/hard you want it - and you don't have to deal with the temptation of blowing moist air into you're sleeping pad.

The SynMat Pump comes in three different models, 7, 7DLX and 9DLX. Where the number indicates the height in centimeters. Superb Comfort.
Volume (packed):
21*15cm for the smallest, 27*16 for the largest. That doesn't take up uneccessary space in your backpack
Weight:
From 860grams to 1160grams

They're expensive.
