Shooting Mats Prone Padded Extra Large Shooting Mat - Comfortable

Our review of the DEYACE Shooting Mats Prone Padded finds it best suited for long-range shooters and hunters who need a reliable, portable surface to lie on. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of an extra large footprint and substantial padding: at 78 in long and 28.5 in wide with a thick padded section for elbows and knees, it keeps the shooter stable and comfortable on uneven or damp ground. The mat balances durability and carry convenience, rolling up with straps and MOLLE webbing for practical field use.

Key Features

• Extra large size: The 78 in by 28.5 in footprint gives ample room for taller shooters and provides a stable base for prone shooting or sighting-in at the range.
• Thick padding: A padded section under elbows and knees improves comfort during extended sessions on hard or uneven terrain.
• 1000d nylon construction: Heavy 1000 denier nylon and polyester outer materials resist tears and shed moisture for use in a variety of field conditions.
• Portable roll-up design: Adjustable straps and buckles let the mat roll into a compact bundle that weighs about 900 g, making it easy to attach to a backpack or carry to a blind.
• MOLLE webbing and stake points: Two rows of 1 in webbing let you secure small gear, and four corner grommets allow staking the mat in place when wind or slope is a factor.

Who It's For

The DEYACE mat is ideal for long-range shooters, hunters, and military-style training where a durable, waterproof surface and extra length matter. Taller users and those who favor prone shooting will appreciate the longer 78 in size and wide 28.5 in design that prevents elbows and knees from contacting wet ground.

It is less appropriate for users who want ultra-lightweight backpacking gear or a folded seat pad only; at 900 g it is light for a padded mat but not the lightest option for multi-day minimalist treks. People needing rigid insulation from deep cold should consider thicker insulated sleeping pads instead.

Cons
