Therm-a-Rest Neo Air - Regular

Hiking & Camping > Sleeping Bags & PadsRated: **** by 6 reviews.

Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS)

The world's lightest, most advanced 3-season air mattress. The Therm-A-Rest NeoAir is ideal for those who have strict weight and space limitations on everything from high-mileage journeys to fast and light weekends.

Features:

  • Achieving thermal efficiency without down or fiber insulation means the NeoAir can be inflated directly without the added weight of a pump, or worrying about exhaled moisture wetting insulation and decreasing performance
  • Reflective barrier returns warmth to your body and reduces heat loss to the ground, keeping you three times warmer than any other uninsulated air mattress
  • This sleeping pad has an insulation (R) value of 2.5
  • Ultralight & compact: Weighs just 14oz. and packs down to the size of a 1-liter water bottle
  • When inflated, patent-pending Triangular Core Matrix technology creates an internal truss system, resulting in the most stable non-self-inflating air mattresses

Paragon Sports

The NeoAir mattress represents the world’s most advanced engineering in ultralight comfort

Features:

  • Beyond being the lightest air mattress available, we’ve utilized two patent-pending internal technologies, making it up to three times warmer and far more stable than any other uninsulated air mattress available. And when it comes to space in your pack, you’ll appreciate that it’s no bigger than a one-liter water bottle.
  • Revolutionary by design, the gossamer NeoAir mattress makes comfort one less thing you’ll need to compromise when traveling Fast & Light.

Ligthweight but great!

Rating:****
I got the Thermarest NeoAir because of the good reviews in backpacker and such. I also got it because their really is not a sleeping pad I feel comfortable carrying dayhiking for emergency use and lastly I want to lighten my load and pack size as I can go faster but still be comfortable. This fits all these uses. With a 2.5 thermal rating this is as good as my ridge rest with alot less bulk. Its a good product a real high tech combo of a good air mattress and a space blanket for your backside. My only concern and I have not any reason or validation is the durability of it from the looks its made well but for the price it better hold up. And my only gripe is no stuff sack included to protect it or patch kit should the worst happen. It held up well in backpackers testing in conditions far worse then I am using it so that and thermarests reputation sot of alleviate my fears durability wise. If this pad included a stuff sack and patch kit and was priced $ 20.00 less I would have to give it five stars. Still for the warmth versus the bulk and weight and the comfort factor its good gear and worth having to cut weight, bulk, and or to carry for emergencies on dayhikes or fast overnights. Long distance hikers finally have a comfortable pad with mininal bulk. Since sleep enhances performance and the comfort factor of this is way high I have to say its a game changer. It is also one of the three best new pieces of gear to have come out in 2009.

Best sleep ever!

This is a must have for ultra lite gear heads. I'm not sure how it will hold up to much abuse. But if you are into ultra lite you probably take good care of your gear and it will be fine. It is super comfy and rolls up small. I'm hooked on this after just a short 3 night trip!

Lived up to the hype

I loved the thickness of the pad at such a light weight. If you are a side sleeper I highly recommend the Neo Air. I question the durability because the skin seems very thin but it has held up thus far.

A light sleeping pad.

Had a bit of a tricky time getting it folded into thirds to roll up, but that's mostly because I'm clumsy. No self inflation, so be prepared for 3-5 minutes to inflate.

Neo First Experience

Rating:***
I just recently bought 2 of these (got them both 20% off) and used them for the first time on one overnight. They are very comfortable but mine deflated to where I could feel my hipbone touching the ground in the middle of the night. My wife's did the same but not quite as bad as mine. I know for sure it wasn't because I didn't close the valve all the way. I'm not sure if it's just a permeable type of material and this is normal. There aren't enough reviews yet to tell. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with them. I've heard that someone returned it and got a new one and everything was fine. I may do the same. If the same thing happens again I may just go back to my Prolite 3. They are very comfortable when they aren't deflated. Worst case, you may have to blow it up once more in the middle of the night.
