I would suggest that they make the stuff sack a little biggerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079470994459135415.post-68266211154193023402011-03-02T15:10:40.435-05:002011-03-02T15:10:40.435-05:00Got to try one at REI.

It doesn't feel like it's a toy or going to pop on you when you handle it. It also doesn't look and feel like a pool inflatable. I would definitely get this over the Neo and plan too later this month.Mileusnich Host Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002489092862275445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079470994459135415.post-58805442680003206172010-12-21T18:08:06.788-05:002010-12-21T18:08:06.788-05:00I have been looking at this product for a while an...I have been looking at this product for a while and I think this will be spot on the 3 season use.

I wonder how "thin" the material feels... :)<br />Anyway, I am a fan of the NeoAir. I have a SynMat 7 also, but find the comfort of the Neo superior to that of the SynMat. Just my opinion. Glad to hear that there may now be something for everyone...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079470994459135415.post-39587630610464321202010-11-10T04:41:44.222-05:002010-11-10T04:41:44.222-05:00It looks like they have made a product having list...It looks like they have made a product having listened to all the gripes myself and others have had about the neo-air.
