Good pads,
leaks are easily fixed using aquaseal.
I used thermarests for years thinking they were the standard and as comfortable as you can get for the weight.
I think I’ve slept my last night on a thermarest. Thicker pads with more air volume are the ticket for me.
I’ve had mine for about 2 years and it just got it’s first leak a tiny pin hole at the feet near the fold point going to get aquaseal hope it works.
It’s only slightly better than sleeping on the ground – warmer and more even but not luxurious by any means. It’s so light though.
It does the trick for summer and the warmer parts of spring/fall here in colorado. Nothing glamorous, but completely functional. It’s actually twice as heavy as my similarly sized blue closed cell pad. But since you can let the air out and fold it up it fits inside my pack, and that’s why it stays in my arsenal.
THe gander mtn Guide series air pad are cheaper and are just as good ive had mine for about 3 years and it is easily repaired for leaks which i have had none
I am switching back to the Thermarest Prolite from a Nemo Astro Air Pad. If I were staying in one place in my camping outings I would give the Nemo or the Thermarest Neo a go. Since I am deflating each morning to hit the bike I love the open, let self inflate, and top off with one or two breaths that the prolite offers.
The comfort of this 1 inch pad is enough, it’s lightweight, warm, and packs down well.
I’ve slept on my Prolite Plus almost every night for the past 8 months. It’s a lot cheaper than a “real” bed and more convenient too.
