The bottom of this camping mat has a soft-flocked finish so it won't slip when used in tandem with a sleeping bag. It features a longer length at the rear and arms, a hood with good volume, and a Velcro tab for easy adjustment. In a first that we’ve seen, inflation and deflation are dealt with by two separate ‘twinlock’ valves – one inny and one outy!

The jacket has large pockets that can hold a large amount of gear, with double zip pullers for easy access. For real additional comfort to the Ultim you need to be looking at a 15cm SIM such as the Outdoor Revolution Skyfall or similar. Finally, colour choice may seem less important but a brighter shade will allow you to be more easily seen should you get into difficulty. By replacing your mattress when needed, you can help ensure that you're getting the best possible sleep and maintaining good health and well-being.The Berghaus Air 10 double SIM is a very comfortable double size bed which could suit people who are taller than average. Inflation and deflation is nicely handled by the patented ‘Cyclone valve’ which sounds a bit gimmicky but works very well. One of the main aspects that impressed us was the AscentShell fabric and the integration of Pertex Diamond Fuse fibres. Then there's our camping kitchen stand that will keep all your cooking equipment organised and maximise your meal preparation space.

Despite these issues, the jacket is built from 100% recycled 75 denier polyamide and has a Gore-Tex membrane, making it tough and waterproof. The precision-cut foam aids packability, helping reduce the size of the mat when you're transporting it between home and your tent. The best three-season jacket will be able to cope with downpours and strong winds and will come with numerous useful features. Perhaps not a rain jacket for the depths of winter but it is a light, simple, cheap and more environmentally-friendly option for backpacking and hillwalking. For example, latex mattresses tend to be more breathable, are hypoallergenic and deliver temperature-regulating functions which create an ideal respiratory sleeping environment.The top surface of the SIM uses an embossed no-slip outer layer meaning that you don’t slide around during the night – a bugbear of mine on plastic air mattresses! Floor protection – A carpet helps protect the groundsheet of the tent from damage by sharp objects such as chair legs etc.
