Help With Thermarest Neoair Xlite Regular

[coastwatcher42]

Hello all. I am considering the purchase of a Thermarest Neoair Xlite Regular and like what I have read about them. I have not, though, been able to find a good size comparison photo of one that is packed. The nearest retailer to me that stocks them is a 2 hour drive and I recently had eye surgery and have not yet been cleared to drive. Would someone who has one please be kind enough to photograph it packed next to a water bottle and post it for me? I would be most appreciative.

My neoair is just a pinch larger than a 1 lit bottle, and no problem rolling it back down to that size.

Thanks for the reply!

Open valve why lying on it, it quickly goes flat. Fold in half lengthwise, start rolling up from bottom. Ends up loosely about 2.5" dia and 10" long and soft. Put rubber band on and stick in pack.

I fold mine flat and place it on top of my sleeping bag in my backpack. No dead space when packed this way.

I bought my NeoAir at least 5yrs ago and it's short because I am. I love it but it's noisy when I switch positions
anyway here's a photo of it packed up next to my 24oz steel bottle. Good luck with deciding

I am trying to get my photo of the Neo air packed onto this message but don't know how to attach it!

Thanks for the photo fibafingers. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on one and am expecting it next week.
