We bought our Air Core pads last season, and have noticed moisture accumulation inside after several uses; is there any way to get rid of that moisture? Can it do any harm/cause problems if left alone? Thanks in advance.

Hi Harry, I have two tricks for getting the moisture (from your breath, unavoidable really) out from the pad. 1) inflate the pad, stand it upside down, let the moisture collect at the bottom near the valve, open the valve, keeping it the low point, and roll from teh top down to force the majority of the moisture out. 2) put your pad out in the sun for a short period of time with the valve open. tends to evaporate most of the moisture. i haven't had any long term problems from the moisture, but most certainly store the pad flat with the valve open helps.

Try storing it inflated with the valve open will get rid of the moisture. It is never a good idea to leave it in there. So if you store it flat with the valve open it will work its way out.
