Denali Inflatable Camp Mat $15 Delivered [Was $39.98] - Anaconda

40

I bought an exped inflatable mattress a couple of months ago and come across it's poorer cousin today.

Considering a similar size exped is around $160, this is a good price for a cheapie if you are up for some warm weather camping.

Material: PVC polyester
Dimensions: 190 x 70 x 5 cm (review says only 50cm wide)
Packed size: 31 x 12 cm
Weight: 810 grams
Primary activity(s): Camping, Trekking, Festivals, Adventuring!
Warranty: 1 year

Pros: looks well made enough to last a while (time will tell), light enough to compete with even 3/4 foam-filled mats. Comfy to lie on. Very compact.

Cons: advertising is misleading - the mat is actually 50cm wide - even the box says 70cm but as its Chinese made that's supposed to be all OK
Foot pump is pathetic (another Chinese feature, ie doesn't really matter if it doesn't actually work), but you can blow it up manually with about a dozen breaths anyway.

As bought I'm happy enough though I feel slighted by the fact its way narrower than I expected. Haven't used it hiking as yet.

Shipping was free for me, hopefully that extends to our friends in the West.

    Do yourself a favour.
    If you want a camp mattress, either spend more for a Thermarest or equivalent, or get a closed-cell foam mat for similar price to this. (Or a heavy air-mattress if car-camping.)

    These cheap pool-toys give little warmth, are prone to leaks, and often uncomfortable for sleeping.
    You won't see an experienced hiker using one.

    Maybe 1 or 2 of these:

    • How does an Oztrail compare with the Thermarest? The cheapest Oztrail I could find was on ebay and it is still cheaper than the sale price on BCF

      • That's a completely different product. It is a heavy air-mattress for car-camping. 5kg!

        • Sorry! Camping noob. Trying to gather some stuff for our family camping trip…

    • Denali make camping gear and have been doing so for quite awhile, so I don't think it fits in the 'pool toys' category.

      In saying that, I've used cheaper gear before and have now gone with exped. If you are on a one-off camping trip or music festival, you'd be crazy to spend around $200 on a high end mat.

      • Denali is not a company, just a home-brand for Anaconda, used to label goods from random Chinese factories.

        (Its also a mountain, and one of the greatest National parks on earth. )

    I have done some hiking in my time and used an inflatable together with a camp mat underneath. The mat acts as an insulator and also protects the inflatable from sharp objects. I found this gave the best comfort to weight ratio for long hikes (3-4 days) and was also quite cheap. If the inflatable gets a puncture, they are easy to fix with a repair kit, or you could just use the mat.

    • That's a good idea! I'd forgotten that option.

      If you're bushwalking in COLD country then an air matress is a total no-no. A foam mat might stop some cold from the ground but it won't stop the cold air in the mat from freezng you @rse off, even with a good quality sleeping bag. Anyone who thinks they might do some cold camping should, as others have said, invest in a good closed-cell mat (and a good bag). This product is absolutely nothing like an Exped mat.

      • Agree. This is no Exped cousin

  • I bought a Klymit Static V from Amazon, for $65 shipped. Happy camper so far, thick enough to sleep on ur side, light weight and portable enought to fold/roll up small and stuff in a day pack.
