I agree with Lori. I had been keeping mine in a ziplock bag, which I feel is overkill now because the pad seems durable enough to not need a "protective" bag. I found a nifty velcro cinch strap for 79 cents at the hardware store that works great to keep it rolled up in my bag.

I actually sometimes roll mine up in my sleeping bag if I am not using a compression sack. No stuff-sack needed.

I use a ziploc bag to prevent wear while it rides around in the pack. It's too small to strap outside the pack anyways - you'll fit it in the side pocket of a pack easy, it rolls to about the size of a nalgene.

campsaver.com includes stuff sack at no charge with purchase of neoair mattress....get on chat with backcountry.com and they'll probably match offer.

You don't need the stuff sack. I was worried it might get punctured being so thin, but it's actually durable. Find something else to stash it in like an extra layer, shell or a sock. I think the stuff sack has gone a little too far. Everything seems to come with a stuff sack! End mini rant.

I like a stuff sack especially if your pad is on the outside. If you consistently pack it inside, you can get away without using one.

I don't feel the need for a stuff sack, that way I can fold/roll the pad to fit nicely in my backpack. This pad also seems to stay rolled or folded up without unravelling.

No, you really don't have to have the stuff sack (and I agree that it really should be included with the pad). For a while, I just put a rubber band around my NeoAir, then put it in a plastic bag (that my newspaper was delivered in). But then I decided that since I spent so much on the pad, I should probably try to protect the pad with the stuff sack (and it does work well for a stuff sack, and the pad fits in it very easily). I realized that if $15 was really that big of a deal, I probably shouldn't have forked out all the cash for the NeoAir in the first place.
