Camping mats are often characterized by their one-size-fits-all design, so the [EXPED](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolutionary-backpacking-mats) Backpacking Line is intended to help change this with a number of styles that are all available in a full range of shapes and sizes. The collection of camping mats includes the [Versa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biolite-ecozoom-versa), the [Ultra](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-gather-ultrafiltered-milk) and the Dura, which are characterized by their multifaceted, lightweight and sturdy design, respectively. The mats each come in several options to choose from when it comes to length and width to ensure campers of all sizes can find the right one for their needs.

The EXPED Backpacking Line is priced starting at $100 and come as part of the continued shift towards inclusive camping gear as more consumers take part in wilderness exploration.
