I was doubting between this sleeping pad and the Therm-a-rest NeoAir Xtherm NXT. I tested them out today and they are top quality sleeping pads. Comfortable and lightweight. But pricey. They have different sizes, mummy, regular, wide, and large. I took a large size because it gives a lot of space to move around and the packing volume and weight is only about 50 gram difference
Yes, it’s really that good. It is by far the best pad available for the money, weight, r-value, compactness, durability. If you have the experience, one would know.
It is a really good pad indeed! And super durable. The only thing I would do differently is buy the wider version so my arms won’t fall off. Do you have the regular one as well?
Great review! I also have this mattress, I have 2 of them, the longer and the shorter version. I can understand your dislikes, but for me it's not that much of an issue. I usually sleep alone in my tent and on my side, so less of a problem, but when I can, I do take a bigger mattress! 😉 Have a great weekend! Kaat
@@Hikaholics Because your breath contains a ton of moisture (far more than in the air we breathe), and that moisture can quickly lead to mildew inside the pad, which is impossible to treat. That's why you should always use either the stuff-sack inflator most of these pads come with these days or an electric pump.
What sleeping pad do you recommend for backpacking adventures? Let us know in the comments and maybe we will review that one as well

Thanks for the info! We haven’t tried the NXT yet. The nxt is supposed to be way less noisy haha
I have used the old neo air for many years, it is comfy but dont last very long. Have a wonderful weekend.
Good to know! We are testing new ones this summer but from another brand. Curious to find out what they are like 😍 have a wonderful week!

Thank you! And great to hear that you like the mattresses. We will be trying other ones for our next adventures. Have a great week!
Nice Jacket 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks! Loving it as well
Blowing into a sleeping pad is a great way of shortening its life.
Oh. Could you explain why? Good to know 🙏

Been proven to cause no mold , shown on many TH-cam videos.
