Product Information

However, this is much heavier than quite a lot of other sleeping mats out there, some of which are almost half as heavy. That being said, the OEX Traverse 2.5 is much cheaper than most of these, so if you’re on a budget you might be okay with 1 kg. OEX claims that this sleeping mat has an r value of 2.6. This should be okay going down to fairly cold temperatures but the r-value isn’t high enough for a sudden overnight cold snap during Spring or Autumn.

Tunnel tents: These tents are great for weekend and summer camping as they offer lots of space, are easy to pitch and use traditional poles. However, they are often heavier than other shapes. You do tend to get what you pay for when it comes to sleeping mats. If you are just starting out, you might not want to invest heavily upfront and should probably opt for something a little cheaper. That said, it really depends on how much you value your comfort, as cheaper options won’t be quite as comfortable to sleep on. Weight Read on in our OEX Traverse 2.5 sleeping mat review! Overall verdict on the OEX Traverse 2.5 Sleeping Mat In general, I was very disappointed with the comfort of the OEX Traverse 2.5. I think I would even prefer a traditional foam roll mat over the Traverse. We’re really pleased to have scored OEX Traverse IMX Sleeping Mat so highly, givimg it 9.6 out of 10, making it well above the average for all Sleeping Mats.The material the product is made from is often a sign of the quality for Sleeping Mats. Take a look at the product details over at Go Outdoors to get a feel for this. Geodesic tents: This type of tent has crisscrossing support poles, making it much more capable of dealing with high winds and harsh weather. Geodesic tents sacrifice space and are a little more complex to pitch than other styles but are great for camping in extreme environments but less suitable for casual campers and families. The OEX traverse 2.5 is fairly typically sized for a sleeping mat. That is to say, look elsewhere for a sleeping mat in large size if you’re approaching six feet.

I wouldn’t carry a stove for myself on a one-night trip like this, mostly because I don’t drink hot drinks and I’d find food in a local pub/carry some granola with broken chocolate in for breakfast. Terra Nova Solar Photon 2 tent – very cosy for 2 (you need to be very good friends/married/tiny), roomy for one, super lightweight and the poles fit in a 53 cm frame bag but it is a little bit fragile if you are not careful. The downsides to these mats are that they are not as comfy as other sleeping mats. They also don’t fold up as small as inflatable mats and don’t really provide much insulation.If you are on the hunt for a quality two-man tent, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you are looking for a tent for a casual camping weekend or a week-long trek, it is important to get the right tent to suit your needs. Even though 2-person tents tend to be quite snug, they make up for it in lightness and easy-pitching. Additionally, they are often far more adept at dealing with harsh and windy weather than larger tents, so there is no need to worry about leaks or other disasters. I compared this side by side to the self-inflation of the Kamui Camping Mattress and the difference was night and day. The OEX Traverse is significantly more difficult to set up and doesn’t deliver on its promise of being self-inflating. Spare long sleeve merino base layer (I normally sleep in these two items, but also there in case I get sodden)
