REI Men's Trekker 1.75
Sorry REI, you lost me on this one.
Pros
- Lighter than most in its class
- Comes with a patch kit....and you'll need it
Cons
- Poor seams, particularly around the valve and corners
- Loses air quickly
The pad held up for a few nights of shelter camping along the AT, but then I used it in a tent and was disappointed that it deflated within a few hours. Patched the two seam leaks when I got home, only to have it happen again in a different spot the next time I used it.
While the valve opens and seals nicely, my leaks all happened around the valve and at the lower edge and corners. I took it back to a local REI store, and was told that I couldn't exchange it under its "warranty" because I purchased it online. SO I called and was told I had to send it back so they could "evaluate the pad and look for signs of abuse".
I'm not impressed with the product, policies or service...
