Great review, and nailed all the highlights and issues. I tested this pad out , as part of a work outing, in below freezing temps in Coloroado back in 2022 and was very surprised at how well it performed.

I just picked up this pad. The price is now 160 dollars without being on sale, which makes it a great deal in my opinion!

Love the videos! Its crazy this channel only has 7k subscribers.

Another awesome video as usual. Could you do one on the best and worst sleeping bag liners for winter camping.? Thanks.

Great gear review, as always. Can't wait to see that Decathlon tent review, as well as that Decathlon down sleeping bag! They must be featured in future videos, right?

I have the 3R and really like it. I sleep on the warmer side and have taken it down to almost freezing with no issues.

Regarding comfort. I compared the Exped with the STS Etherlight and find the Exped to be more comfortable. I think I just like vertical baffles with a raised edge - helps keeping my arms on the pad. For 3 Seasons use, I choose the Exped Ultra 3R MW in Combination with an Alpkit EZ Sleeper (to my knowledge the lightest and thinnest folding closed cell foam sleeping mat). The foam mat boost the R-Value a little bit and protects the delicate Exped Mat. During the day I use it as a sit pad or as a ground cover for a little siesta and stretching at camp. Together 765g - not ultra light, but this is made up for by the multi-purpose use.

Thanks!

Hey Justin! Have you looked at the ultra 7R? If so, what are your thoughts on it?

Love my Ultra 5 mummy.

Hi Justin, would you prefer..? * Exped ultra 5 R * Rab ionosphere 5.5 * Thermarest neoair xlite nxt Max Thanks...!!

Exped make outstanding gear fantastic bang for buck for weight for quality. I also have the 3R mummy, small and lightweight, minimal though

How about flipping the pad over, of you do not like the valves being on the bottom? 😅

Need a sleeping pad and was holding out for all weather tensor next year but keeping hearing issues with leaks

Justin - will you be taking another look at the new Nemo Tensor Extreme Conditions pad? I know you already featured it in another video and results were underwhelming, but I'd love to see a more detailed review (a second chance). I want to love it but right now there isn't much online that help.

No discomfort atall with it. Reason I got it was because it wont slide along the tent floor.

They say now this is 4 season pad , can be used on -20 celsius, i have this pad but not test it, i saw one guy on YT tested it in -20 c and said that its ok

What’s that white tent in the beginning of the video?

I'm leery of Exped pads after I had two Synmat Hyperlites fail on me. They were super comfortable, but not reliable. I've had my Thermarest pads for twice as long and no issues.

Everybody pile on. @ 0:54. It's CONDUCTIVE heat loss, not CONVECTIVE that the pads are minimizing. The pad prevents the ground from heat sinking your body heat by keeping you separated from it by an insulated space. CONVECTIVE is heat loss by the surrounding fluid (air). That's what your sleeping bag or quilt insulates you from.

Don´t know were you got 444 grams from...🤔 Mine weigh in at 580 grams and expeds own claim is 585 grams.

Exped doesn't always check the lightest box, but they tend to be prefered for people that have tested a wide range of pads.

hi Justin Honestly, it's hard for me not to love your channel! interested in reviewing an outdoor refrigerator? Looking forward to getting your email so we can work together further ~ thanks~!😄
