Also, it seems like it'd be more a problem for hikers sleeping in the tent with you, than yourself.. but I could just be making that up.
Were you using the neo-air when we backpacked? I don't remember the noise being an issue then.Heff936 wrote:We have been happy with the Neo-Air All Season pads. They seem less crinkly than the other Neo-Air models. But we also cover ours with the down coupler when Laura and I are camping together. I haven't seen the Nemo pads but I have been very happy with every piece of Nemo gear we have. So that's a consideration.
The other thing you might give some consideration to is a sleep system. The Nemo Tango Single and other down comforter designs are lighter since the insulation is in top. So combined that with a warmer pad that slips into the bottom of the Tango and you'll get less crinkling or go with one of the Nemo pads. I'd suggest the 25" wide pad in any case. The Tango single weighs 1 lb 13 oz. If you want a warmer comforter , look at Enlightened Equipment.
The Tango Duo is the most comfortable backcountry sleeping system I've found and it's no heaver than two good down bags.

I went to REI yesterday and checked out various sleeping pads that they had available to test. One of them was the Neo-Air xlite. It didn't seem as noisy as I expected, although it was hard to tell since REI was pretty noisy at the time. One thing about the xlite that I don't like is the shape. They cut off the corners of the pad and trim the leg portion to save weight. To me that's a big negative.
