Technology
FlatValve Technology: Exped is the first manufacturer worldwide to incorporate these durable, easy to use valves in selfinflating mats. Two flat valves, one for inflation and one for deflation are found in the mat. One-way flaps on the valves hinder air from escaping during inflation, as 'self inflating mats' usually need a couple of breaths of air for top-up, and prevent air from re-entering during deflation and roll-up. Being flat in design, non protruding, of soft PU and without sharp edges makes these valves more durable than traditional ones./p>

- What's intuitive inflation and how does the built in pump work? Currently own an old Therm a rest but don't like it because it's incredibly slippery.
- Here is a short video that shows the simple inflation method by Exped: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvhD_WktMv8 it has polyester fabric is UV and abrasion resistant and slip proof.

- Hello ,should SynMats be stored long term in their bag,rolled or out flat .
- Hi Peter, It is best to store your mat out of its bag in a well ventilated area (so moisture doesn't get into the mat) with the valves open. It can be laid out flat or hung. This will help prolong the life of your mat. Thanks
