Exped Dura 8R LW
Exped Dura 8R LW is one of the most advanced and reliable sleeping pads on the market for winter use, expeditions and demanding environments. With an R-value of 7.8 , a temperature rating down to -40°C and 9 cm thickness, it offers maximum insulation, comfort and protection against ground cold – even in arctic conditions.
This is the sleeping pad for those who place high demands on warmth, reliability and durability during long tours in the mountains, polar regions and technical terrain.
The Exped Dura 8R LW uses DOWNMAT TECHNOLOGY™ , where the channels are filled with 700 cuin RDS‑certified down , which provides:
Exceptionally high insulation capacity
Unbeatable protection against ground frost
Even heat distribution over the entire surface
Minimal heat loss even during extremely cold nights
The air chambers run from head to foot, providing both stability and optimal support for the entire body.
Expeditions and tough environments require a durable outer fabric. That's why the Dura 8R LW is built with:
Recycled 75D/170D ripstop nylon
Substantial durability against sharp rocks, ice and hard terrain
Extra long lifespan
This makes the surface ideal for users who use their equipment intensively all year round.
The generous thickness of 9 cm means that the sleeping pad:
Levels uneven ground
Provides high sleeping comfort even on hard surfaces
Prevents you from pushing through the insulation when you turn over in your sleep
A game changer for sleep quality during winter trips.
With Exped's Schnozzel Pump Bag you inflate your sleeping pad quickly and without introducing moisture from your lungs. This extends the life of the down filling and keeps the insulation value intact.
