They hid them behind some boxes and "found" them once the sale was over. Very convenient for them!

I ordered one for my Grand Canyon trip next week.

I wandered over to the REI in North Phoenix and they had Five NeoAirs (size Regular) in stock. They now have four and I have one. I love having a big old dividend to spend.

Well, my order has shipped! I will sleep well in the Grand Canyon! Six day trip (4/12 – 4/17) Cottonwood Creek and out New Hance Trail with lots of day hikes.

I can see it now…

I saw backcountry.com — that's how I knew to create the link. We want this to be a simple "one click" experience for shoppers, ur, I mean hikers.

Do give a gear report when you get yours!

Report to follow the GC hike. I do have to go to Fargo right after we get out, I fly the next morning from Flagstaf to Fargo, so I may be a few days late on the trip report and gear review.

BTW…one left

Do you plan to use yours alone or with some torso-length thin CCF in case it fails?

Can't wait to order one. Are there any left anywhere, especially on sale?

Why would it fail? It is more robust than many are suggesting here….as I lay on it in amazing comfort.

Every time I hear someone tell me about how much weight they are saving sleeping on a ridiculously thin CCF pad that would have me aching all over in the AM, all I can think about is the NeoAir. I find inflatable pads more comfortable when I can deflate them a little to match to body contours, so I'm really looking forward to a few inch thick pad that is still super light. My issue with 1 in. Therm-a-rests is that fully inflated I find them less comfortable, and deflating a 1 in. pad sacrifices insulation. NeoAir's light weight and thickness are perfect combo for me.
