I've had this pad for about 8 years. For the last 2-3 years the valve has been slowly leaking and getting worse. It's to the point now where it only holds air for a few hours then goes completely flat. The old timer at REI wasn't too helpful when I asked about a repair.

Guessing these can't be rebuilt so do any of you hardcore backpackers know where to find a replacement valve?

Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Klymit pads have the same valve.Get on their website, they have a video on how to repair or they have new ones too I think.

Awesome, thank you. I sent Klymit an email and will purchase a new valve when they open Monday.

The good folks at Klymit are sending a new valve FREE of charge. Can't beat that customer service.
