Bestway - AlpineLite Ultra-Light Extreme Cold Weather Sleeping Pad - Wide

The Bestway Alpinelite is a great budget option if you can get one - R7.6, 664g, £40

Can confirm - it's great for the price. Very warm pad and not at all noisy to sleep on.

I'm pretty convinced this is the exact same pad as the OEX Flux 7R just in a different colour. I don't know if Bestway manufacture in-house but I know OEX/Go Outdoors outsource a lot of their stuff. The same 'quilted' design, same valve and valve placement, same wide rounded mummy shape and same stated specs, they even both have the little printed model code on them you can see on the Go Outdoors website (albeit not the same code). From their respective websites - OEX Flux 7R specs: R-Value: 7.2 Size: 183 x 63.5 x 7.5cm Weight: 768g Bestway Alpinelite Specs: R-Value: 7.3 Size: 183 x 63.5 x 7.5cm Weight: 764g Picked up the Alpinelite in September for £28, around 20-25 nights on it since then with no issues, temps down to -5 (measured) and it's never felt cold. Re longevity I also have the Bestway Wanderlite which I bought from Tesco on a whim last year because it was on clearance, ended up using it for most of the summer as I found it really comfy, probably 40+ nights on that now and it's held up fine, same materials just non-insulated.

Can vouch for this also. Nearly bought it from Argos till I googled it and found it for 22 quid cheaper, durable and warm. Well impressed for the price...

I ended up getting this and I am a big fan, it's just right for me, plenty comfy and easy to inflate and nice and light, drawbacks are it's a very slippery material so have fallen off before LOL, and I'm not sure about the R value but held up at -5 with appropriate bag for a couple nights so 🤷. I've been able to sleep on my sides with it aswell, cheers for the link

If it’s as warm as my xlite and it’s £36 then I’d be happy.

Thank you. I’ve found it to be a great pad so far

I bought this just because of your post a few days ago for my first ever winter camp. As it was my first I didn't have any comparisons but I was warm! -6c with -10/12 with wind. The price allowed me to buy well in other areas of my first kit.

Can confirm 👍 top mat 

Bestway Alpinelite. It's pretty new to the market, but from personal experience and others reviews, it's massively holding it's own against the more expensive mats. I'm actually a bit in love with mine for the price. It's about £40 on Amazon at the moment. 

I've just commented the same before seeing this. LOVE mine and it's genuinely excellent for the price. 

Yep

There is absolutely no way they have that tested to ASTM. But at that price it's probably worth a try.

Mine has arrived today, looks good so now just need to go try it out.

I have one, it's brilliant. No noisier than my thermarest xlite and a third of the price. OP, get yourself on bestway!
