As always, fast shipping from Militaria. As for the mat, I am considering spending more money for a better one with a higher R-value, although this one does its job – it insulates well and needs some extra inflation. For me, the width is sufficient, but for larger people it may be too narrow. I use it regularly and at the moment I don’t plan to buy a new one, although you can find even better options.
A lightweight and compact self-inflating hiking mat. On the outside, the mat is made of polyester with a non-slip texture, while the interior is filled with polyurethane foam. During unfolding, the foam expands and the mat fills with air. In addition, at the end of this process, the mat can be inflated through the built-in valve. As it is rolled up, the air escapes, allowing the mat to be significantly reduced in volume and making it easier to transport.
The mat comes with a carrying bag, which can be clipped or packed in a backpack. When folded, the mat takes up very little space.

I do not recommend it, despite positive reviews – it self-inflates very poorly, most of the air needs to be added manually. The thickness from the description does not matter, because under weight it gives in like a cheap mat. It's better to buy a thick air mattress or a simple mat.
-
Very comfortable and attractively priced. When folded it takes up quite a bit of space and is a bit heavy, but it was bought with wild camping in mind, in a car or on hard surfaces, so this does not bother me. The plus is the thick material, so I do not have to worry about my dog damaging it.

The mat is of good quality and very lightweight. It requires a bit of extra inflation. It fits perfectly with our hammock. I haven’t had a chance to test it yet, so I don’t know how well it insulates in colder weather. I recommend it.
-
It doesn’t take up much space. After unfolding, it’s best to inflate it a little.
-
The mat does its job well and does not take up much space.
-
The product meets expectations. I have no complaints, the price is attractive and it is definitely worth recommending.
-
It’s very lightweight, provides thermal and physical comfort. Tested at -8°C, it worked well as I didn’t feel the cold.
-
The mat is nice, although quite narrow. It only self-inflates halfway, the rest needs to be inflated by mouth (which is normal for such products). Overall, I give it the highest rating because it works very well. The only downside is the poorly sewn cover – after the first use it started to come apart, but this can be easily fixed, which is typical for Mil-tec. Shipping and communication were first class.
-
It needs a bit of extra inflation by mouth and could be a little wider, but that’s how it was described, so I’m not complaining; once you add some air, it’s comfortable.
-
Great product, works perfectly.
-
Great mat, it perfectly protects from the cold coming from the ground.
