I have been using an Exped Downmat 7 (primarily for the comfort, not the warmth) so this new thick airmat (Neo Air) from Cascade Designs sounds just the ticket. <BR/><BR/>The Prolite 3 has an R-value of 2.3 so this will have the same sort of insulation but will be far more comfy, which is important for a good night's kip when you have bony hips!<BR/><BR/>Looking Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-71388643602417793132008-07-25T17:56:00.000+01:002008-07-25T17:56:00.000+01:00I'm afraid I don't have a picture of the Neo Air. ...I'm afraid I don't have a picture of the Neo Air.
