Really, what is there to say about a stuff sack? Yes, for the price of the NeoAir it sure would have been nice for them to include the stuff sack, but I knew that they didn't when I bought it.

The bag is lightweight, and seems to provide adequate protection. The pad fits in the stuff sack with room to spare. I have an old ProLite and it takes two rolls of it on firm ground for me to be able to stuff it into its sack (I'm not sure if the new ProLites are much better). But for the NeoAir, I fold it twice, roll it once, and it easy slips in the bag. This may sound like a small thing, but it is one less thing to deal with when breaking camp.

I just completed a 52 mile, 5 day solo trek across the spectacular Uinta Highline trail. It was critical to cut my pack weight down to 35 lbs or less in order for me to make the time that I needed. I stewed and fretted about the negative reports of the NeoAir pad. I finally spent the money and am glad I did. It was amazing! I have never slept better. Besides the greatly reduced weight and size, I really liked the fact that I didn't have to spend a lot of time preparing a sleeping spot. The stuff about only being 20 inches wide was not a factor for me as the pad fits perfectly inside my REI Cruiser SM tent. With my mummy bag and tent constraints, never did I feel like the pad was too small. I highly recommend the pad! It was a critical part of reducing 20 lbs off my usual Uinta 55 lb pack. I totally agree, however, that it's a bummer to have to buy the stuff sack and repair kit separately. Come on, Thermorest! For the price, you should throw these in.

It is almost pointless to have the NeoAir and not have the stuff sack. The potential for ruining a NeoAir without the stuff sack is too high, either through exposing it to sharp objects, pinchflat potentials or tweaking the nozzle. It weighs less than an ounce. However, one could theoretically save on money by using a ziplock baggie or something similar, but the manufacturer stuff sack is a guaranteed good way to protect your investment.

Three starts because I think the pad should have came with a stuff sack but this fits perfectly and even more important, the color matches.

I mean, I guess it kinda sucks that the pad is sold without the stuff sack. While that is a bummer, my hands are tied because this stuff sack is obviously built for the pad.

I'll keep this review straight-forward... it is only a stuff sack and it holds the sleeping pad perfectly. Buying the Neo-Air without the stuff sack isn't a fair option as I tried to find house hold bags that would hold the pad. Take it from me... save yourself the time, fork out the $15 for this sack if you have the pad.
