[pct-l] Neo Air on sale

[Charles Williams]

I used a Thermarest on a thru hike in 93.  Never had a problem on the trail, so I recommended it to my girlfriend.  She blew it up and it delaminated.  Made a big blister-like bubble on one side.  No longer useable.  
 
I chose a 3/4 length and carried a blue-foam (closed cell type) sit pad for my feet at night.  The sit pad was nice to break out in the day.

And I have an additional question to all who have used Therma-Rest
successfully on the PCT. I had neck surgery that makes it pretty difficult
for me to make hard-foam alternatives workable for me.

1. How did you manage or prevent the easy puncturability -- which apparently
really comes into play in Southern Cal?
2. Was there an easy way to find the leak & patch on the trail (hopefully
not involving immersing in water)?

I know that Eric the Black apparently uses inflatable pads -- so it must
somehow be do-able.

Cheers,

Charles & the Gang.

then Charles the unemployed professor and his gay clan doing the PCT in
2012)
