Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Dura 6.5R, unroll the mat on a flat surface, ensuring there are no sharp debris like sticks or stones underneath. Open the inflate valve and use a compatible Exped pump bag or inflate manually. Once at the desired firmness, seal the valve tightly. Compatibility is excellent with most mummy or rectangular sleeping bags. For care, always store the mat loosely in a cool, dry place when not on an expedition to preserve the loft of the internal insulation. If cleaning is necessary, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft sponge, ensuring the mat is completely dry before storage to prevent mold growth. Always keep a repair kit handy for emergency field fixes.
