Years ago I'd only use a CCF and big sleeping bag because in my early 20s I didn't care. Now I'm approaching 40 I slept out this weekend in -2 on a thin CCF and cheap inflatable. I was a bit cold but also uncomfortable. Spent more time than I'd care to admit wrestling with this debate to order something before I go out again at the end of the month. In the end I went for a mt900 xl because it packs small and light is very warm and supposedly very comfortable. I was a nats hair away from getting the mt500 and a better CCF but decided on overall weight and bulk vs cost

I have the MT900 and it's great. 5.4R value, cheaper and great customer service as well.

Haha no idea I'm loving the Forclaz MT900 from Decathlon at the moment so for the time being I'll just enjoy cinching that nice and tight and carrying half a kilo less mat around I know Osprey are well rated but around here they're very 'struggling to park your massive SUV in the National Trust car park' so I'm avoiding them!

I have the MT900 Air XL (195x63, R5,4, 675g). I'm quite happy with it.

I’ve had this pad for a couple of years (from when it was forclaz branded). I’d recommend it, it feels warmer than my higher rated sea to summit, packs up reasonably small and isn’t too heavy. I’ve never had any issues with it going down or getting any punctures. Only downside is that none of the default flextail nozzles fit it, so you have to awkwardly hold the closest fitting nozzle against the pad when inflating (or just use the pump sack). They may have changed the nozzles though in this iteration

I have this. Have inflated & used it about 10 times with no punctures. Comfortable. I’m 6ft 2 & about 100kg. It was my first sleeping mat mind you. I’ve used one other that was nowhere near comfortable.
