Head's Up, these are on sale around the net given MSR changed the nozzle on the 2020 model.
Just picked up a 2019 size Regular for my wife, MSRP $169.95.
At Campsaver with Code "MARCH" - $97.07 shipped (thru 4/6/20).

That's an amazing deal. I still consider the XLite the gold standard for sleeping pads.

Awful lot of nights on ours- female model and a large . At this point I'd buy them again and be satisfied with the full price we paid . Great deal.

Meh. When the company replaced a different model with one of those, I sold it. Not comfortable.

My wife and I have used various Neoair's since they first came out ten years ago. We still love them, and both still have our original pads, both of which are still going strong. When my wife's XLite arrives, we will have 5 in the house.
IMO, an XLite and XTherm is the ideal two pad arrangement. The XTherm is wonderful below 20*F

I used the original NeoAir for eight years. When it leaked, they sent me a thin, crinkly, uncomfortable replacement. And I know I'm not the only one....

Same thickness, same feel, so I'm really unsure what you received as a replacement. Also, the original NeoAir was no less "crinkly"... over time it lessened. The XLite is no different. |

I love my Xlite, but my wife purchased one a few years ago, and couldn't stand it. As always, YMMV.

Agreed, but the reason for my back and forth with almostthere is she didn't specify that Thermarest replaced her old Neoair with an XLite.
This post was a public service for my friends here on the forum, not a place to vent vague complaints...

I remember a night when several campers near me were disturbed by my crinkly Neoair XLite. I slept really well.

Sounds like a great deal. Maybe I’ll use part of my $2000.00 from Congress to get one.
