For those of you who are waiting patiently for the 2009 commercial release of the Therm-a Rest NeoAir range of 3-season mats, here's a little more info, and some more pics from the Outdoor Trade Show 2008 (courtesy of Darren Christie, who holds the copyright to them).
A few things are worth noting:
- There's not been much mention of it, but there's a seat pad in the range too
- There's also a range of 20D silicone-treated Cordura nylon NeoAir Stuff Sacs
- Everything in the range is the same colour - "Limon"
- I know that I've mentioned it before, but I'll restate it - the packaged rep sample was labelled up as a Regular, size 20" x 48", which is at odds with the info in the 2009 Dealer Workbook from which the following data was gleaned:

I've emailed Therm-a-Rest to find out about the odd labelling on that packaged sample, I'll report back here if there's any news.
