Two Minds
Avis de Paul le 26/07/2016 -
There are a few plus sides, and a few downsides to this product.
The downsides are :
This ThermaRest is very narrow, and is very noisy every time you move[ like a bag of chips ] and it also takes quite a lot lung power to inflate.
The Plus sides are :
VERY compact and lightweight, and VERY strong. It is also comfortable [ albeit to narrow ]
Would I recommend it? - In all honesty, I would probably look for a "wider" version of the NeoAir, and if you are sharing a tent, I suggest you either both have a NeoAir, or not at all, 'cos the noise can / will irritate your "tent partner"Price Quality
