Superlite Air ‘so small and light you
wouldn’t know it was there’
A new ultra-light mattress which rolls up
smaller than a packet of biscuits is being launched by Multimat.
Weighing in at
just 300g the Superlite Air is one of the lightest full-sized inflatable
camping mats in the world but rolls up to just 240mm x 60mm which
also makes it one the most compact mats available.
Remarkably, given
its weight and rolled-up size, the Superlite Air provides a full-length (1830mm
x 490mm) mattress that’s 70mm thick to enable a welcome cushion between campers
and the cold hard ground.
It’s aimed at
lightweight backpackers, bike-packers and people taking part in competitive
outdoor challenges who want to save as much weight and space as possible
without compromising on comfort.
Multimat managing
director Adrian Stammers said: “We’ve used different materials to make it much
lighter – so small and light you wouldn’t know it was there. Unlike several
other manufacturers, we haven’t reduced the surface area of the mat to make it
lighter – this is a full-sized product. Neither have we compromised on its
strength and durability. In fact we’ve done just the opposite.
Instead of using
polyester, as we have in the past, the Superlite Air uses rip-stop nylon, which
is considerably stronger, and we’ve increased the air-tight TPU (thermoplastic
polyurethane) membrane by 50% to give it more durability too.It’s aimed at
anyone who wants to cut down weight and space needed for their kit. We don’t
know of a lighter full-sized mat and we’re delighted with it.
The Multimat
Superlite Air, which comes complete with stuff sack and repair kit, retails at
just £60 and will be available from Blacks, Millets, Cotswold and other leading
stores from spring 2012.
