What is the Ether Light Insulated Sleeping Mat?
This innovative mat is perfect for backpacking, travelling and mountaineering in cold conditions thanks to the super warm Exkin Platinum and Thermolite insulation, exceptionally comfortable Air Sprung Cell construction and the ability to deflate and inflate the the mat quickly. The Ether provides a luxurious 10cm of thick cushioning whilst still maintaining a tiny pack size.
What is the Ether made of?
Insulation: Inside the mat, you'll find super warm Thermolite and Exkin Platinum insulation to provide enough warmth for winter seasons. Exkin Platinum reflects your natural body heat back to you, while Thermolite insulation prevents convective heat loss over time. If that wasn't enough, the Ether Light includes an anti-microbial treatment to avoid future issues when warm, moist air inevitably becomes trapped inside.
Outer Fabric: The mat is made using a combination of lightweight, quiet and grippy 40D and 30D Nylon fabric. The combination of these two weight os fabric give you a mat that will pack down to almost nothing, almost weighing less than a 500ml bottle of coke, but also gives you extra protection and reassurance when the ground underneath you is a bit harsher then you'd like.
What is the construction?
Providing further comfort is Sea to Summit's Cell technology. Rather than a flat surface, Sea to Summit opt for a 'cell' shape; this provides excellent support by distributing your body weight evenly over the surface.
What are the features?
This matt has an R-Value of 3.8 which in real terms means that this matt makes a great 4-season adventure buddy and will keep you toasty in sub-zero conditions. R-Values are an international standard of insulation and (in simple terms) indicate the materials ability to reduce heat flow through conduction, radiation or convection. Therefore the higher the R-Value, the lower the heat transfer and the greater the insulation properties of the material. Other features include a repair kit, an anti-microbial treatment to prevent mould growth and a pillow lock to attach an Aeros pillow in place.
