Todd- Ordered 2 Mediums at 10am on Thursday and haven't received a shipping confirmation either.
Feb 3, 2012 at 5:49 pm #1834122I order two Neoairs from Backwoods on Thursday morning. I called an actual store today as I hadn't received a shipping confirmation and they informed me my order had been cancelled (the online crew did not tell me when they cancelled my order) and that there were 14 other cancelled orders for the same product. I asked the guy on the phone to check company inventory and even though he was really helpful, there weren't any left anywhere in the country,
Feb 3, 2012 at 7:33 pm #1834187Todd & J Boro,
I received my shipping confirmation email today, and Todd you're correct, Backwoods is shipping from the stores where they still have the Neoair in stock. In my case, I ordered two in large and received two shipping confirmation notices: one from Oklahoma City and one from Council Bluffs, Iowa. After reading your comment I was getting a little nervous about my order (I ordered mine on February 1st), but it appears that both are on the way. The only item I still have not received a confirmation for is my second stuff sack…
Hopefully this fire sale ends with happy customers rather than refunds. Good luck!
Feb 3, 2012 at 10:02 pm #1834239Since I tried to get one and missed out, I would be interested in buying a large Neoair from someone here, if they find it's not what they wanted after trying it out.
Thanks ,Jack
Feb 3, 2012 at 10:46 pm #1834245not that surprising, they have always taken off older models from their website.
GoLite does this too, it's pretty annoying.
Feb 6, 2012 at 10:06 am #1835253Feb 7, 2012 at 12:24 am #1835619"1st gen. NeoAirs are discontinued. Big mistake in my book. No rectangular pads other than the Trekker and All Season. -1 on tapered pads."
I'd agree when it is the Xlite small, its so tappered its not even there around the hips.
I've just used this old Geardeal and ordered a Neoair Small – the Xlite's weight saving is VAPOR when it comes to the SMALL, much less so the Regular. The additional R value, from my All Seasons experience is probably true.
Hope Backwoods honor and deliver my Neoair Small for its $65.
Feb 7, 2012 at 6:45 am #1835667Let us know if you get the Xtherm from Cabelas, I will probably order one also.
Feb 7, 2012 at 8:53 am #1835729Just to update those interested on my Cabela's order:
The order confirmation email says I ordered an Xlite, when clearly that was not what I selected, nor what was shown in my cart at the time of checkout
I called customer service who were actually very helpful. The confirmed that the description on the order said XLite, but that the product code brought up the XTherm.
There was no way for them to go open my packed shipment to confirm one way or another what was actually being shipped. She said there's literally about a 3 minute window in which they can act after an order is placed because the system is very automated.
I had her make a note on my order about my concern and there is a free return label that ships with the package so I can get a refund if it's not what I wanted. Fortunately I only paid $0.01 for shipping so I guess I'd only be out 1 cent and some time if this turns out to be an Xlite.
I have my doubts (always did) that I'll end up with an XTherm for that price, but who knows. I will be sure to update you all once the package actually arrives
Wish me luck!

Pretty sure that those are sold out as well even though their web-site says they are still available. i think someone in the other "Backwoods" thread said that his order for a small neoair was refunded.
Anyone receive their NeoAir yet ?
I ordered a regular and a large and it looks like only the large shipped . . .
Feb 7, 2012 at 10:00 pm #1836100very dissapointing, not only the ancient inventory system they employ, but that refunds have not been quicker either. somebody mentioned earlier in this thread about companies making a quick cash grab. we shall see.
ive had refunds from real serious companies that take only take one or two days.I will post when my refund is in my account, they notified me 2/2/12 that it was out of stock, so its been 3 business days(5 days)and no refund.
Feb 9, 2012 at 6:29 am #1836769no refund yet
Feb 9, 2012 at 8:32 am #1836821If you used Visa or MC, you can dispute the charges and they have to withdraw the charge until they've investigated your dispute. It's an option you have.
Feb 9, 2012 at 8:33 am #1836822I received my first (of two) Neoair in the mail yesterday along with the stuff sack. Hopefully the second will get here today… Hope others have luck with their orders.
Feb 10, 2012 at 8:18 pm #1837779I ordered from Backwoods.com a Neoair Small , got an ordering confirmation. No shipping contact since, no shipping statement. My creditcard shows a temporary/pending item. I sent an email off to their customer service and will phone them Monday (only open 9-5 M-F).
Sounds like it was out of stock.
Feb 10, 2012 at 9:17 pm #1837792unbelievable, no refund yet. these guys are clueless.
Feb 11, 2012 at 7:31 am #1837882Campmor has Neo Air's on sale. The small is $79.95.
Feb 11, 2012 at 1:17 pm #1838061Pity no discount coupon. I see it was just asked already in another thread.
I went right through an ordering process, NOWHERE on screen I could see where a discount coupon could be applied.
Feb 11, 2012 at 3:53 pm #1838138Nigel,
Remember to check cashreporter.com to see whether the place you are purchasing from does cashback. If you type in Campmor at cashreporter you'll find a number of cashback sites offering cashback for Campmor. Mr Rebates is reputable and is offering 6% of your purchase back. Not a tonne on a $75 purchase but if you are gearing up and making a fair amount of purchases the cashback can add up pretty quickly . . .
Feb 15, 2012 at 9:09 am #1839791Feb 15, 2012 at 5:20 pm #1839992They credited my card on 2/8. I'm much happier with the %20 I got off on my WM Megalite + the %6 cashback and $5 Mr. Rebates bonus. Thanks to Bobby for the tip.
