[at-l] NeoAir, was: Re: Must be getting old...

[KGJ]

I've been using a Thermarest of late, but I remember back in the day when I used just a plain pad of closed-cell foam.  Are those still available?  I don't think it was even a brand name, just a sheet of foam I got somewhere.

  FWIW, my experience with the NeoAir is that when it's chilly out you  
  really do want some additional padding at your points of greatest  
  weight concentration.   My hips especially get a little too close to  
  the floor, and the air just isn't warm enough.  I carry a thin foam  
  sitpad in my pack's back pocket and that worked just fine slipped  
  between the NeoAir and the floor.

  Btw I wrote to Thermarest and asked them to start making short but  
  wide pads, and they said they used to offer one but nobody bought it  
  so they took it off the market.  As a side sleeper of no great height,  
  I'd really love a 25"x48" pad but no luck (unless you want to carry a  
  roll of foam).
