I work in an outdoor shop in Syd (wont say which one) but we see quite a lot of the Downmats come back for repairs under warranty. There seems to be some problem with the lamination process they use causing slow leaks when stored after they have been inflated in a humid environment. Exped tend to brush it off as people mistreating the mats or blowing them up with their mouths, but I know of many instances where this wasn't the case (certainly it wasn't the case with mine when it failed).

They are warm to sleep on though, used mine in a snowcave in NZ and was toasty.
