Great Sleeping Pad
I bought this sleeping pad for my wife to use because she has always wanted me to pack a blow-up mattress for her while backpacking, despite my explaining how much those things weigh.
We currently have the Thermarest Trail Lite sleeping pads and she would complain that she could feel the ground when she slept on her side. I was looking at the Thermarest NeoAir when it came out, but I kept reading reviews of them leaking down in the middle of the night; then I saw the NeoAir Trekker (large). It is 21 ounces lighter than our Trail Lite, and compresses so much I can easily store it inside our packs. No more strapping those bulky pads to the side of our packs! I was also pleased with the fact that it came with it's own stuff sack. I had one last test in store for the Trekker -- the wife test. When the package came in, I inflated the pad, which isn't that bad to inflate if you do it in sections. I'd give 5 or 6 good long breaths, then close the valve and do something else for a few. There's really no need to get light-headed trying to blow it up all at once, but you could if you had to with minimal jaw cramping.
Now it was time for the test. I couldn't wait for my wife to get home, so I stretched out and could tell instantly that Thermarest had knocked this one out of the park. I'm 6' 270 lbs, and while lying on my side, I couldn't feel the ground. I knew there was no way my 5'9" 140 lb wife would feel any discomfort.
The expression on her face told the story when she finally got home and tried it for herself. "Oh, this is good", she exclaimed! She finally got her blow-up mattress.

Best ever
Always looking to lighten my load w/o sacrificing comfort or functionality Went to REI recently expecting to buy new Exped air mattress but thinking I would try this one too. Found myself drawn to this one and purchased two, for my wife and me. Comparison: Exped, with traditional lengthwise tubes felt more like a traditional air mattress. This one felt much more like an open cell self-inflating mattress. That is, much firmer and more comfortable. The inflating valve was also like a traditional simple Therma-Rest valve, much easier to use. (The Exped even suggested an extra air pump which would add a few ounces to the weight.) We had it out overnight last weekend in low 30's (it snowed briefly) with 40 degree bags and it was adequate for those conditions. The R2 insulation value seems accurate and this pad is probably not adequate (without adding say a blue pad under it) at temperatures much below that. As for comfort, you would have to use at least a 2 inch open cell self-inflater to match this comfort and those weigh a couple of pounds. I never touched the ground at all no matter how I turned. The 72 inch model is several ounces lighter than the 47 inch open cell Therma-Rest my wife was using and more comfortable. I most recently was using a full length blue pad together with a 47 inch Z-Rest Therma-Rest. (Getting older.) So I didn't save any weight, but gained a world of comfort. Finally, this is easy to inflate and a breeze to deflate, and packs to next to nothing in a small included bag that very easily contains the pad with absolutely no stuffing involved.
More durable than neo air
I bought the trekker after my ultra light neo air continually popped on me leaving me cold and uncomfortable all night. So far my experience with the trekker has been significantly better. You can feel the difference in the fabric. The traditional neo air is so light because the fabric is so thin and also a bit sticky (this is to prevent you from slipping) but this results in constant punctures. Just to note, I always used the neo air in a clean tent.
The trekker has a rugged cloth fabric like other therma rest self inflating mattresses. You can expect much better results from the more durable mattress.
The trekker is 6 ounces heavier than the original neo air. This six ounces is well worth the extra weight. Dealing with a leaking air mattress in the middle of the night can not only be aggravating, but potentially dangerous (the recommended way to spot a puncture is to bring the pad to the river and look for air bubbles).
Also wanted to mention, my girl has the Big Agnes sleeping pad and it is also excellent quality and has survived 6 different backcountry trips without a single leak. It is slightly narrower than the neo air. I prefer the thermarest because of the horizontal baffles, but the price is about 66% more for essentially the same thing.

Comfortable and Compact
As someone with a chronic joint condition, I picked this up in hopes of finding something to increase my sleeping comfort while camping. I'm pleased to say that this was an excellent buy!
Sleeping on this pad was very comfortable. Couldn't feel the ground at all and it was easy to sleep on from any position, both sleeping on my side and on my back. I woke up without any unusual joint pain, so mission successful!
It seems pretty durable too, surviving my over-enthusiastic dog tramping all over it while fully inflated. It packs down very compact and is easy to deflate and roll up. Takes a bit of effort to inflate, but not too bad even for someone of small stature like myself. It's pretty lightweight, too.
The only minor downside is that it's terribly noisy. Moving around on it seems quite loud in the quiet dark of night. But that's to be expected with an inflatable and is no big deal. Although, my dog did give me a dirty look whenever I rolled over and made a racket.
All in, I'd say this is an excellent sleeping pad. Tested and approved by someone with nasty joint issues, so ought to be super comfy for just about anyone.

Both my wife and I have these pads. She is a 5'8"ish side sleeper and has the regular size, I'm a 6'1"ish back sleeper and have the large size. I'm actually ok with the length of the regular size, but prefer the width of the large to let my arms down. Both pack down remarkably small, with the large size only about an inch and a half longer when rolled. When fully inflated they are a bit firm, we usually fully inflate them, lay down, and slowly let air out until it feels just right. The thickness is nice for my wife, since even as a side sleeper she doesn't bottom out anywhere. Probably not enough insulation for winter, but we don't camp/backpack then anyways. We haven't had any problems with leaks or the material looking worn, so it seems to be durable. Certainly feels more durable than the regular neoair. We've always used ours in a tent. From an in-store comparison, this seems less "crinkly" sounding than the neoair.
Minor gripes: included stuff sack (big + over the neoair) is way too big, the inflation valve is hard to clean (really a gripe with almost all inflatable pads)
Worth the investment
We decided to upgrade from the Therm-a-rest Ridgerest this year, and am thankful we did. The difference is night and day from the bulky rolled pads. We opted for the short and extra wide size, which weighs the least. Who needs padding under their feet, anyway? Plus, the larger size allowed us to but them up together, without the dreaded "falling in the hole" if you happen to roll over. I did not feel the ground at all, and slept better than I ever had while backpacking.
We've only had them on one 2-night trip thus far, but am pleased. I cannot speak to their durability, and did notice that a couple of additional breaths to increase firmness again after a night of sleeping are needed for the second night.
Happy to not have the bulky pads sticking out the side of my pack now, and it deflated surprisingly easy, despite some other reviews. Just flip it over (black side up), deflate some, then fold in thirds along the original lines lengthwise, and roll from the bottom toward the valve. Much easier than stuffing a sleeping bag in a stuff sack!

Bring a Foam Pad Too . . .
First the pluses: The NeoAir Trekker is a very cushy pad that inflates quickly and at 19 oz is wonderfully light-weight. The material doesn't seem to stretch like cheap air mattresses so it holds its firmness once inflated and the valve doesn't seam to leak at all. It also deflates quickly and packs up tightly. During a recent three-night backpacking excursion in the Olympic Mountains it proved quite durable. However . . .
Like all uninsulated air mattresses, the NeoAir Trekker does tend to wick away body heat through convection such that by itself, on cold ground, it simply doesn't provide much insulation. So we stuck a closed-cell foam pad underneath then inflated the NeoAir Trekker only minimally (to reduce convection). This improved things quite a bit.
In the end, what I'd hoped would be a 19 oz sleeping pad solution has turned into a 36 oz hybrid system, albeit a warm and comfortable one. And there is something to be said for having a layer of protection from sharp objects under this rather expensive air pad.

Great upgrade from the Prolite series
The first use of the Neoair Trekker was on a two-week camping and backpacking trip to Colorado in July. The pad saw nearly continuous use for the full two week period. Found the Trekker to be a great improvement, comfort-wise, over the Prolite 4 I had been using. With night-time temperatures ranging into the low 40s, the pad kept me plenty warm with a bag rated at 15 degrees. Except for extreme winter conditions, this pad can probably be considered a four-season piece of equipment. Also, I never had a problem with the pad leaking down. Another great advantage is that the Trekker packs down much smaller than the Prolite 4 and still offers plenty of comfort. That's a big plus for someone trying to reduce the bulk of their backpack. Although the pad is not self-inflating, light headedness can be avoided by taking your time to blow it up. Only time will tell if the Trekker rates 5 stars instead of 4. All and all, a great buy.
As many have written before, Thermarest really nailed it with this new model of the NeoAir.
I had a Big Agnes air pad prior to springing for the Trekker, and this pad is all about the horizontal air ballasts. My BA pad had vertical air chambers, and the horizontal ones conform to your back more easily. I used my trekker for the first time last weekend on top of a car camping cot, so I was extra spoiled, but I'm looking forward to see how much more comfy it is on the ground.
A friend of my BF owned the previous model of the NeoAir, and said it sounded like a "bag of potato chips" and didn't seem very durable. The Trekker is quiet and seems tough. Only downside is that it is not insulated, but I've heard Thermarest is coming out with the silver coating insulation. My BF got the 3/4 length 25" Trekker, and he loves the extra width.
So far, no regrets here. Way to go, Thermarest.
nice pad
I recieved this as a gift and have used it about 10 nights in the backcountry so far. The weight and packed size of this pad is what cought my attention and made me want this pad. It is comfortable to sleep on, but the only downside is the width of it (20" for the regular size). A few times I found myself starting to fall off the side of the pad while I was sleeping. I am only about 5'10" so I had no need for the large size, but now I am thinking it may be useful to have the extra 5" in the width. I have used this on a few winter trips, and two nights setting up camp in the snow. (temps ranging from 15F-25F) I paired this with my Marmot Never Summer bag and I was warm all night! Overall a great pad, but you may want to consider getting the large if you like a wider pad.
Negative Reviews:
I wanted to like this pad!
I purchased my Neo Air (Reg) about 4 months ago and have used it about 8 times. I really wanted to like this sleeping pad.. and I was so sure when I purchaded it that i would..
The problem I am having with this pad is its narrowness (20 inches wide) to thickness ratio .. The 2.5 inches thick pad feels so good when i first lay down, but within a few hours I find my arms are hanging off the edge of the pad with no were to go. When I try to rest my arms on the ground I find my self rolling off the pad. I keep having to pull my ams in and readjusting.. I am tall and thin
( 6 feet tall, 155 pounds.) For me this would be a great pad for if it were 3 inches wider...

very comfortable, when it holds air!
Before mine started to deflate, the only complaint i would have is that the fabric absorbs sweat very easily. If you use this for an extended amount of time (like I am on my AT thru hike) dont buy it! Mine stinks to all hell and isn't easy to clean like the yellow neoair. Maybe this is better suited for the occasional use of a car camper. I bought this over the regular neoair because this was supposed to be more durable, but that turned out to not be the case. Just fork over the extra money for the yellow neo air, and enjoy its lighter weight. After I submit this, I am hopping in the car and returning my pad.
Unstable
Got this for backpacking and car camping with advice from a friend. I don't see what's so great about it. The air chambers go all the way across side to side, making it feel unstable. If you move around, the air pushes to the other side, and it feels like it will dump you right off! It's like it needs more seperate air chambers or reinforcements horizontally. It's difficult to sleep when you're worried about falling off your pad. If you're set on the ThermaRest, at least get the 30" wide one.
Neutral Reviews:
stick to the original neo air
I have used my husbands Neoair (the original) and decided I wanted to get one; so for mother's day I recieved the Trekker. It is no where near as comfortable as the yellow one. It isn't as wide and is hard to stay on all night. The Trekker also does not keep you as warm at night as the original (it does not have the thermal barrier the original has which is why it is cheaper). It also is not as soft as the original. The original gives enough comfort that it is worth blowing up. Although this one blows up much faster because of the smaller size (which also makes it lighter), there was no comfort difference between it and a self-inflating; given that choice I would buy a self-inflating over the Trekker. I returned it after trying it out on a weekend trip and got the luxury of the original neoair.
dont do it!
I'm 6 foot tall and 217 lbs.. When I lay on the short 47" pad, because my legs are lower than rest of body....it kills my back. The longer pads are fine, but too narrow - 20". A person my size needs 25" wide and 77" long.
Perfect except for durability
Comfortable, warm and light - an excellent night's sleep except for the leak!
Skin is not durable enough ; the tiniest chip of granite poked a hole on the first day out. Patch kit worked perfectly, so the next nights were fine.

I thought it was very comfortable, but on my fourth night on it, it stopped holding air. It's going back to BC. I like the Neo concept, but in my opinion these things just aren't made for use outside your tent.
