Testing a CHEAP 4 Season Sleep Mat!

Рет қаралды 35,744

Күн бұрын

Join me as I test out a new budget sleep mat on an overnight solo wild camp! It’s been AGES since I took my 3F UL GEAR Lanshan 2 tent out, so I decided to take it along on this one. It’s a 3 season tent and is colder than my Helm 2, so it proved ideal for testing out the new Light Tour 5.8R insulated step mat!
The Light Tour is ASTM rated with an R value of 5.8, so while not exactly the same rating as the popular Therm-A-Rest xTherm mats, it should bd warm enough for pretty much any conditions in the UK. Plus, they’re half the price of the xTherm mats.
Thanks for watching! Ben 🤓

If you want a bag for worst case winter take the in-laws scenario I would recommend an aether85 as I’ve used one for 4 years now. In practice the weight of the bag is offset by the luxury of the ag system. Not one for the gram weenies but in real life then load carrying system outweigh thegrams. I enjoy my lanshan 2 very much too but impressed you take it out this time of year. The breeze thru all that mesh annoys me in the colder months.

No harm at all in a quick gear run-down in the vids, always a chance to inspire someone to replace or upgrade something they have but which isn't optimal. Thanks for the vid.

Great video Ben, I also love seeing the new gear that you try out. In fact i tend to search for new gear reviews. A question though on the Permissive sites that you use, I notice a lot of the You Tubers have these sites available to them. How do you go about identifying the Landowner? and then do you just simply knock on their door and ask permission? I always imagine Farmers and Landowners asking "what's in it for me". I'm wondering if people pay some kind of "rent" to camp on private land?. I know of a local wood to me that would be ideal to camp, but the fact that it's fenced off, suggests its private land. I don't have the first clue how to find who would owns the woods and then how to go about obtaining permission. Thanks, Alan.

@PhillipWong Жыл бұрын

I have this pad but branded as Naturehike. The problem with it is an interesting one in that it has little support / structure to it. I have a Nemo Tensor as well and if I pump them both up to the most that my Flextail pump will (so that they’re at the same pressure) and then press down on them with my hand, I only have to press down a little on the Nemo before I feel resistance. With this pad, there’s no resistance and my hand will go all the way down to the floor. If you’re a back sleeper, the distribution of weight is enough to prevent that, but anytime I roll I’ll bottom out. I don’t recommend this pad for this reason.

@PhillipWong Жыл бұрын

There’s also no way I’d buy it for the price you did. I only gave this a try because of a Christmas special on Aliexpress where it was ~70 pounds.

@DaleyOutdoors Жыл бұрын

You won’t get the same pressure that way. You’re only testing the resistance on the valve vs the strength of the pump. I found the valve quite strong and the Flextail gave up while there was still plenty of room left for more air.

This kind of camp seemed to be perfect for a gear tour and review, so keep doing them. I was hoping the sleep mat was going to be a bit more on the budget side TBH. As you said, if they could get it under £100 then it would be more attractive. At £128 it is perhaps too close to big brand sleep mats with long warranties and good reputations for replacing / repairing gear without hassle. Seems like my search for a budget winter sleep mat will continue!

Yesss💪, finally,a test of the pad. Do you find the dimensions of it inflated to be accurate? I have read some reviews on AliExpress where people stated that the pad was shorter than listed(it's the same pad,just under Naturehikes name). Also how does it compare in terms of comfort to your Exped? Does it come even close? Personally I'm considering either the Lighttour or the Nemo Tensor (am saving up for the Tensor,there is so much hype about it), but am concerned about the comfort of the pad.

Chose this pad over a Nemo Tensor, which is the only inflatable pad officially distributed in my part of the world.

It is unreasonable that Thermarest is so expensive, I choose Light tour

How did you find the kestrel 68 compared to the 48 for carrying weight on long hikes .

I’ve only done around 10 miles with the 68 so far but the fit and comfort feels the same.

Just checking to be sure.. I'm about to buy the Exped 5r ultra. From your comments here and previous review, you're still happy to recommend it? Seems like the best sleeping pad deal around at 145 quid

Yes definitely recommend.
