User Reviews

• Less durable than other options on the market.
• The movement of the pad against the floor of the tent can cause some noise.
• Small window of inflation between being overly-blown up, and too deflated.
• The NeoAir is lighter.
• Some reports of limited durability, like deflating or sanitation issues.

Expert Reviews

• Might not be durable enough and warm enough for camping mostly in cold climates or on snow.
• Dimples when fully inflated, and can trap some debris on the top.
• Slightly heavier than some other models on the market.
• The dots on the mat collect dirt easily.
• Not the most comfortable option due to being a bit thinner and ‘bumpy’ due to the dots.
• Doesn’t provide enough insulation, and the R-value is just 3.3, which is fairly low.
• Some durability issues due to being a newer pad and not having enough other reviews and tests on the market. The pad deflated on the first day in one test.
• The noise wouldn’t wake most people up at night, but the mat does make some noise while rolling around when sleeping.
