Nick's quick fire guide to the new range

I've been recommend a Fat Airic but you've changed the range!
Easy buy a Dozer, it's a bit more expensive but quite a bit better despite similar appearances. It has a new soft touch peachy feel fabric, it inflates quicker, it is warmer and still retains the legendary Fat Airic comfort.

The Slim Airic was your lightest full length mat, should I go for an Airo 180?
If money is no object the Airo 180 is your best choice, if money is a little tight then don't discount the Base 180 as it's only a tiny bit heavier but more durable and a little bit warmer.

I have lost my Wee Airic, what's the direct replacement?
As with Slim you have two choices; spend more money on the lighter / less warm and less durable Airo 120 or save a bit of cash on the warmer, more durable but heavier Base 120.

The Regular Airic seemed to be the best all round mat, which is the one to go for now?
This is perhaps the trickiest choice, if you want comfort with packability go for the Dirtbag, if you like to stretch out and still need comfort with a bit of portability then go for the Wedge.

There was nothing wrong with the old Airics.. why change?
Our Airic range has served us well, real well and we know that lots of customers love their Airics... especially their Fat Airics! In their time we have seen them referred to as Eric, Artic and even Thermarest! While we are obviously flattered by this we knew we would not be able to rest on our laurels for long, so when the opportunity to work with a better factory came along we jumped at it.

At first glance the new range looks just like the old range with a couple of extra sizes thrown in, however the spec sheet reveals the substantial changes we think have justified the change in names. If you are looking for further detail on the specific changes please check out Jims detailed notes.
