Greetings,
just got back from a camping trip and my Exped Synmat UL sleeping pad had baffles fused, looks like a balloon now; luckily it happened the last night of the trip, otherwise would've been interesting. It's 7~8 years old and was on average used 3 times a year for a couple of days. Liked it as it's light weight and packs to a rather small size (and am thinking about getting something similar) but didn't expect it to die so suddenly - my weight is 80 kg, treated it nicely, always inflated it using the supplied "pump" (sack really) , stored it stretched out flat under the bed etc. Wonder if anyone had similar experience and still stuck with the brand. Also would like to hear if anyone dealt with Exped for warranties (mine is way out of warranty but for possible future case).
Is this the ligthweight/lifetime trade-off i.e. could one expect more life out of a heavier model?
Thanks

Acid breath is real, perhaps?
