Exped Downmat 7 for sale. 3 years old, perfect condition and used for about 8 nights I think. Superbly comfortable and inflates using the storage bag

Jay

very interested in this and will take it if I can confirm a few things with you.

Which one is it, I may have missed it in the description, is it the 7m 183x50x7 ? And is it Ok for summer use or a bit warm?

Thanks

Really sorry for the delay. Will measure and get back, but 99% certain those measurements are right. It appears not to be in any way too hot but works well in cooler weather.

Reply tomorrow

Just measured it and it is 183x65 and 7 deep. Weighs 960g on my kitchen scales. As it is the model with the bag I can not find an original link as it is now replaced. And they do not do a wide medium length any more.

Jay, does it only inflate with the bag or does it have the in-built valve and if it's the 65 wide, roughly what's the pack length?

Sorry for so many questions, just trying to make sure it's what I want, well, what Mrs Crackle wants, it's for her.

It folds in half lengthways and I measured as 30cm. This doubles and spreads a little as it inflates making the 65cm width. Once in the storage bag the whole package is 34cm long and 17cm wide (diameter of circular package). This video show the inflation method

my bag has a fold out pipe about 30cm long (flat material same as the bag) that attaches to one of the two valves. I don't stick my hand down the bag, just open the bag wide and then roll the top, which seals it, then press on the bag and it pumps up. It really is easy

Finally, bag can be used as pillow if filled with clothes!

OK, thanks for providing that info, Jay.

I need to mull it a bit. The larger size is good but the bigger pack size is not and i'd have preferred the in-built valve model, weight is not so much of an issue.

I'd like to buy this please!!

 

[Crackle]

Count me out please Jay. I'm glad Thistler wants it. Thanks for providing all the info, my pre-purchase dissonance kicked in though.
