I was looking for an alternative to the Gossamer Gear thinlight (rolled) online and couldn´t really find anything compareable in the EU. The Thinlight is quite expensive over her - The cheapest version I was able to find (with reasonable shipping) was 45,85€ total.

Then I stumbled upon the EXPED doublemat Evazote, which is widely available:

Stats:

200x100

R-Value (ASTM): 1.1

Weight: 260g

Thickness: 4mm

Costs: 49,90€

Gossamer Gear Thinlight rolled

Stats:

150x50

R-Value: estimated 0,5 by GG

Weight: 80g

Thickness: 3mm

Costs: 45,85€

So you basically could cut the Exped in half lengthwise and if you rally like shorten it to 150cm and you have 2 mats for the price of one, with 50x50 leftovers for your dog or whatever.

Always at your service
