Exped Doublemat Evazote

The Exped Doublemat Evazote is a closed-cell foam sleeping pad built for durability rather than outright lightness, using Evazote EVA foam that resists punctures from thorns and crampon points far better than typical inflatable pad fabrics. At 200 x 100 cm, it's sized as a double-width mat - either for two people sharing, or for one person who wants extra shoulder room and doesn't mind the added bulk. Its R-value of 1.2 (ASTM) puts it at the lower end for insulation, so on its own it suits summer conditions or a supplementary layer rather than cold-weather use. The 260 g weight is reasonable for a foam pad this size, though closed-cell mats are inherently bulkier to pack than air pads - this one folds in half for use as a single-width mat, or unfolds flat as an insulated groundsheet inside a tent. Because it has no valve or air chamber to puncture, it's essentially maintenance-free and silent to use, which appeals to hikers who prioritize reliability over the extra comfort an air pad provides.
