Exped Ultra 6.5R Sleeping Mat

Yes, the Ultra 6.5R is designed specifically for four-season use and provides significant thermal insulation for cold-weather adventures.

While the mat can be inflated orally, using the Schnozzel pumpbag is highly recommended to keep moisture out of the insulation.

Use the provided repair kit or a standard sleeping pad field repair patch to seal any small tears in the fabric.

Yes, the cradle design works well with quilts, as the side rails provide a sense of enclosure that helps keep the quilt in place.

The Ultra 6.5R is designed to be quieter than many reflective-foil mats, minimizing the 'crinkle' sound often associated with insulated pads.

Check that the FlatValves are pressed firmly into their closed position. If the issue persists, inspect for tiny punctures using a soapy water spray.

Ensure the valves are fully open. Roll the mat toward the valve to expel all air, then fold and roll again tightly to fit into the provided stuff sack.
