Exped says:
From camping to backpacking - the Versa 4.5R is the ideal all-round mat. With a combination of reliability, low weight, and easy handling, it is perfect for adventures in spring, summer, and autumn.
The proven SYNMAT TECHNOLOGY™ inside is made from recycled Texpedloft and is welded to the top and bottom of the air chambers. This prevents cold bridges caused by air circulation, resulting in the best possible insulation. All our backpacking mats feature Cradle Comfort™ for added comfort: the outer longitudinal air chambers are slightly raised for even better support on the mat.
The recycled, bluesign®-recognised ripstop polyester is robust and durable, perfect for frequent use on campsites or tent pitches. The integrated hand pump ensures easy, quick, and moisture-free inflation.

ASTM R-Value:
From 2020, there is a new industry standard for measuring the R-value (level of insulation) of sleeping mats – ASTM F3340-18. This new standard is the sleeping mat equivalent to the EN rating for sleeping bags.
You can now directly compare the R-value of mats rated using the ASTM F3340-18 with confidence that is a fair and accurate comparison between mats. In simple terms, the higher the R-value, the warmer the mat.
In general terms, an R-value below 2.0 is for summer use, 2.0 to 4.0 is for cooler 3 season use and 4.0+ is for winter temperatures. This will be also be dependent on your sleeping bag, how cold you sleep etc. Please contact our customer service team if you need advice on choosing the right mat for your activity.
