Ratings & Reviews: Outdoor Research DownMat™ 7 Sleeping Pad
, 9/2/2007 Reviewer: Laura (St. Paul, MN)
I got my first downmat in May 2005. I love how it compresses down to slightly larger than a football for packing, and it was great to sleep on. By fall, however, it had developed a leak. I returned it and got a replacement, which worked great for a year, and this spring it again developed a leak - I spent a week camping essentially on flat ground, trying to blow the thing up repeatedly all night. Very frustrating. It's a great product, if they can fix the leaks. A couple of friends had the same mat and experienced the same problems.
