has anyone ever used the Neo AirTap by thermarest?

Still waiting on delivery. I’m out of town next few days but I’ll update as soon as I can.

So they have arrived and so far it’s possibly a good solution, though not great. I needed to clean some plastic residue out of the o-ring channel. The fit on the schnozzle end is great. On the Thermarest end it is just ok.  I got the pad inflated well enough, though it’s not a seal that inspires a lot of confidence.

it could be as easy as finding a chunkier o-ring. Which I will try to do next.

I would post a pic or two but it looks exactly the same as it does on the link.

Ok, so that was it. Just trimmed a chunkier one to get a good fit and it works perfectly.

Weight is 6 grams. 4 schnozzle-fulls to inflate a Thermarest Xlite large.

My schnozzle works fine with my neoair.  I just push the grey part on the schnozzle hard against the black plastic valve on my neoair and it slips right on.  It takes a bit of force, but the opening on the grey piece on the schnozzle is just big enough to accept the black plastic neoair valve.

Though my schnozzle is a few years old and I have had to re-seal and patch a couple places down by the neck as it has blown out over time.  I cannot use my schnozzle as a pillow because it leaks too much air from lots of tiny holes throughout.  I don’t think I will trust it as a packliner anymore since it leaks so much.
