What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for Soto WindMaster
Best Praise
+80 pts“I love my Soto windmaster. It’s a lot heavier at 67g but its construction and build quality is far more confidence inspiring than the brs. Also its more efficient so you could theoretically get away with bringing less fuel”
r/Ultralight
ViewTop Criticism
+4 pts“Soto Windmaster is $70 to save 20g. That doesn't seem like a good $/g tradeoff. I need to weigh the actual lighter I use, which I haven't done. The weight posted was an estimate. No bidet. Perhaps I will go that route in the future, but right now I am just not comfortable with the idea.”

Best praise vs top criticism for Exped MegaMat 10
Best Praise
+82 pts“Exped Megamat is the most comfortable sleeping pad available. Genuinely better than most real beds. However it's extremely bulky, so really only useful if you're camping out of a car.”
r/CampingGear
ViewTop Criticism
+5 pts“for what it's worth we bought a megamat and a losthorizions off amazon, and ended up returning the megamat. the losthorizons mattress is half an inch thicker, just as comfortable, and half the price. only drawback is that the bag it comes in (which doubles as a pump) is floppier and less intuitive to use.”
