Hi all:
Big Agnes has offered to replace my leaking 50-inch Hinman mattress with a comparable model or unrestricted store credit because the 50-inch Hinman is discontinued. BA’s closest match is a 52-inch Captain Comfort, which looks amazing, but it’s been drilled into me since I was a kid that you shouldn’t have anything touching the sides of your tent. I’ve seen posts talking about GFCs with Exped MegaMat Duos, which are also 52-inch, but no mentions of capillary action issues. Is it somehow not a problem? Even in the rain? I’d rather get a replacement mattress than store credit, so I’d be very grateful if someone could confirm before I have to choose. Thanks in advance for sharing any info, and I have a Superlite if it makes any difference.
