[pct-l] neoair

I think any repairs would probably have to occur on a zero day..

  I am not a PCT hiker. But, I think you will feel cold if you use the
  neoair in a freezing night. Its R-value is only 2.5.

  The repair on the trail will be difficult, since you are very tired
  and dusty, you cannot find a tiny hole. If I had a neoair, I will use
  the neoair with the z-rest(half size). In this case, total R-value
  will be 4.7,  and I can sleep well on the snow. The z-rest works as a
  backup system, when neoair breaks.
