Does this pad come with a repair kit and/or stuff sack? I see the stuff sack for sale separately so i imagine it is not included, but as for the repair kit, if it is not included which one is recommended? Do the standard thermarest repair kits work well on this pad or does it have a special repair kit because of the new materials?

Tommy, did you heat the adhesive? You're supposed to boil it.

If you're planning on taking a repair kit with you with this pad, my recommendation would be to avoid buying the Therm-a-Rest repair kit. It dries hard and brittle and doesn't actually seal the hole. I found this out, to much frustration, in the middle of a 1.5 month trek. My recommendation is to instead get a sealant like Seam Grip. It takes more time to seal, but it's a flexible bond (so you can roll your pad up) and you know for a fact it'll work.

There is a repair kit that would work on this pad that we carry as well as a stuff sack: http://www.backcountry.com/store/CAS0517/Therm-a-Rest-Fast-And-Lite-Repair-Kit.html http://www.backcountry.com/store/CAS0513/Therm-a-Rest-NeoAir-Stuff-Sack.html And you are correct, the stuff sack is sold separately. I haven't heard any cases of this pad breaking and needing to be repaired with the kit, but I talked to a friend who asked a rep whether or not this repair kit would work on the new pad and he said that it would work just fine.
