Very specific question time: can anyone make a suggestion of a (side) sleeping mat that isn't some variation on "I'm stuck on a mountain please rescue me" orange/yellow?
Context: various sensory issues that I've yet to properly codify mean that I find bright colours stressful in a lot situations - a good example is the panic attack I had in a particularly aggressively yellow Canadian discount supermarket. Anyway, all the excellent Exped etc options I've seen recommended on here tend to be the exact sort of bright that causes me problems.
So, any suggestions for muted/army green sleeping mats that have a decent R-value (looking to camp in the winter) and would be thick enough for side sleeping? Pack size and weight aren't a huge issue as it'll be carried in either a pannier or a big dry bag.. The Thermarest Trail Pro is the best I've come up with so far. I'm currently using a crappy Karrimor Z Lite knockoff that cost me £8, so anything would be an upgrade. Cheers!
