I've got about 10 nights on my neoair since sept, and have been very happy with it. Most comfortable I have found. Combined with my tigoat bivy, and exped PL wallcreeper, it makes doing an quick overnighter just add 4lbs and some change to my pack. Not bad for a mostly rectangle bag, a large sleeping pad, and not to mention the bag doubles as a shin length parka with a hood.

My brand new out of the box Neoair had a small hole from a fold and would hold air for about an hour.
Nice and comfy for an hour but it really sucked having to blow it up every hour on the hour.
Consider me the dumb azz for not checking it before heading the the hills.

I dunno if I would say 'dumb azz', John. I don't think it is unreasonable to expect an out of the box product to function as designed? Edit: who ever does their QC needs to be slapped upside the head!

I promise you I felt like a dumb azz every hour on the hour.
Was not real happy with Thermarest but it is pretty basic to do a minimal check of gear before heading out.
It was just one more issue in what became a long list of screwups on that elk hunt.

That is what they call a 'memorable' hunt!

I had a friend that packed in a cast iron dutch oven this year and made several meals with it.

JohnBurns, you're not in a Beevis moment until you attempt to use the same pad AGAIN and it fails you.
Sounds like solid gear experience on your part. Thanks for sharing.

I fixed the hole and will probably try it again because was so nice when it actually held the air.
You can laugh at me when it leaks again.
