Good question! It's an ultra-lightweight sleeping mat that has been developed to be even quieter than ever before. This mat offer premium comfort and packs down as small as a conventional one-litre bottle, making it perfect for lightweight adventures, multi-day missions and expeditions in milder conditions where you're counting every gram of weight.
If you're wondering, this mat is insulated, but it's not filled with typical down or synthetic insulation like most mats, but we'll touch more on that further down the page.
What is it made of?
The surface fabric is 30D ripstop nylon which is lightweight yet highly durable to protect against punctures and tears.
What keeps you warm is the Thermacapture™ technology inside. Thermacapture™ is an innovative material that reflects heat and maximises heat retention to keep you warm all night long. It adds no extra weight or bulk to the design to boost packability and versatility for various adventures.
What are its features?
The NeoAir XLite NXT has been updated to be five times quieter than the previous model, thanks to its refined ThermaCapture™ layer, which is integrated into the Triangular Core Matrix™.
The Triangular Core Matrix™ is a patented technology that uses triangular baffles stacked in two layers, creating a stable surface and minimising heat loss. This technology offers a 4.5 R-value, making it suitable for three-season adventures and more gentle winter pursuits.
Weighing just 354g, this sleeping mat has a fantastic warmth-to-weight ratio, and at three inches thick, it offers a high level of comfort and support to get a good night's kip. As mentioned, it packs down to the size of a standard one-litre bottle, making it easy to stuff into a kit bag or backpack without taking up excessive space.
What's more, this mat is really easy to inflate and deflate, thanks to the WingLock™ valve. The WingLock™ valve feature one-way inflation, meaning it won't hiss back at you as soon as you pause for breath while still maximising airflow.
Finally, you get a pump sack, stuffsack and repair kit included in case of emergencies when resources may be limited.
