Good sleeping pad, but I prefer the rectangle shape from previous years

I’m a big fan of most Therm-a-rest products, and have been a loyal customer for years, but this product just isn’t as great as some of the ones in the past — but I haven’t found much else I prefer, either. My biggest complaint is with the shape. The tapered design saves weight, but I think it does so at the expense of comfort and usability. The rectangle design when this originally came out as the Neo Air in 2010 or whenever (I had a model from 2012 that I loved, it started to leak, they replaced it with a new model that has the tapered design, I begrudgingly accepted it) is much more preferable in my opinion.

The Women’s version is lighter and has higher R value

I love this pad for all around 3 season use. I used to have the longer version and wanted a little more R value and a little less weight. What at 1st I thought was going to be a compromise ended up being an improvement. People say that these are noisy…well, I guess compared to a foam mattress, they are. I don’t notice it at all because I’m sleeping so well. The warranty is really good too. I had one go flat and they replaced it quickly with no questions asked.
