I first bought a Thermarest xtherm regular size. The stuff sack was a blow up sack. I found it very awkward to use. Then I decided I wanted the wider pad. I went up to the large, (wish they would make a regular length wide). It came with a normal stuff sack. So I use lung power to blow up the pad. Some folks have warned about condensation from that. Is there anything I can do about it? like maybe hang it with the vent at the bottom in the sun so the moisture drains and cooks out of it.
About the crinkle. I've heard it gets less after a while. So should I use it on top of my bed and break it in before I hit the trail and impose the crinkle on other folks.
Thanks!!
