User Review: Therm-a-Rest NeoAir

Summary

Who needs self-inflatable? This pad is so light, packs down so small, and is so comfortable. So, so, so...It's just a bit noisy. Oh well.

I bought this pad to replace my traditional self-inflatable pad. I purchased the regular size, and the stuff sack. It floored me that a full sized sleeping pad could be this packable. Inflating is very easy, and the tradeoff of not having to designate the left exterior of my backpack as a "sleeping pad" side is great.  

I would say this pad is more comfortable, albeit more noisy than the traditional Therm-a-Rest self-inflating pad.  Also, I recommend getting size regular. Just let your legs hit the floor. It's ok, they'll survive. Also, be nice to this pad.  It may not last if you mistreat it or let teenagers use it.  

This is about the size of a can of soda, and much lighter. You may find yourself waking up at night and re-inflating it.
