Love this sleeping pad and I have not experienced leaking! I've spent many nights on this pad, 4 years backpacking and hunting, and 2 seasons fighting wildfire. Sadly though, it only took one sharp rock to tear a 3inch hole in the bottom of it. Will be buying another one soon.

Leaked on first use, patched and leaked

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I was so excited about this sleeping pad but it leaked on my first use in the backcountry. Slept on the cold hard ground. I found the leak (near the seam, so manufacture issue) and patched it then used it again and it still deflated. Now I have to return it for store credit only, they won’t refund my purchase. Not happy about this one.

Warm, light, super light and packable…just need a bit wider.

Super comfy and packs down so small...Only suggestion would be to widen it by two inches from the shoulder to the elbow…the aesthetics would be off, but then my arms would not always be resting on the cold ground.

Super warm and one of

Super warm and one of the best sleep I have had while using this sleeping pad

Quieter than ever!

Still the best pad on the market and now that I have tried the new and impressive quite version I am more sold than ever. Comfort in inhospitable places without waking up the next farm over!

It leaked right away

I decided to pay a bit more for a better inflatable pad after my 10 year old REI ones started leaking. Unfortunately, this one started leaking when I tested it at home before my trip. Now I need to find a quick replacement.

Satisfied newbie

This is the first real sleeping pad I’ve ever purchased. I’ve used it a few times now, and so far I really like it. I have used an electric pump and the included pump sack to inflate it. Both ways work just fine. The valve confused me the first time I tried to deflate it, but I figured out that it has two parts: the main circular section used for inflation, and a safety lock to keep it from deflating when you don’t want it to. I opened the circular valve (same as for inflation), then used the two white levers to twist the safety mechanism open so that it could deflate. It packs up well for storage back in its little stuff sack. It seems pretty durable, even when I have a dog in the tent. :)

Comfortable, lightweight, and quieter than the original, but still noisy

I've had the original NeoAir XLite for about ten years and it's finally stopped holding air overnight, but there's no discernable hole so it was time to replace it. I liked the comfort of the pad, but it's always been very loud when moving around. When researching a replacement, it came down to the new NXT version and the Nemo Tensor All Season. At 6' 1", I need a long mat, and the only long version Nemo makes is rectangular, so I chose to stick with the long mummy shaped Thermarest. The new version is just as comfortable as the original and a little quieter, but it's still a noisy pad.

Repair XLite NXT Sleeping Pad

This pad met expectations. One thing I did add was a slim 2 ounce exercise mat underneath the pad. The Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL 2. The tent floor is very thin and sharp rocks could be an issue. The thin light weight pad protected the sleeping pad. We were on a six day backpacking trip in Glacier National Park. The Sleeping Pad performed well.
