Reviews & Ratings for Therm-a-Rest U24 NeoAir Xlite NXT Pad — 1 review — Page 1

I've owned a 1st generation NeoAir for about 10 years and generally loved it. But I figure it can't last forever and time to "up grade". I've always used a "pump sack" and was excided to see this comes with a pump sack. But on 1st test, I was VERY disappointed. The pump sack is NOT air-tight. I could feel air escaping out the seams. worst, the sack was only good enough to get some initial air in the pad. Once it builds up any pressure, the pump sack can't push enough air to open the "one-way valve" and all the air goes somewhere else. But this is a sleeping pad, not a pump sack. So I pressurize the pad and let it sit. After a few hours, it's "soft". So I pumped it back up knowing the warm breath air can cool and loose some pressure. But this process continued two more times... pressurize it up and two hours later it's lost the pressure. Returned for a replacement.
