By Ranked #469 - Lightweight Sleep Pads August 18, 2011

Hey there,
New to the "air" sleeping pad technology. In comparing the NeoAir series - do they all have the same exterior material? I guess what I'm asking is do they all have abotu the same "slip" factor - frictions between the sleeping pad and bag? I hear hte Neoair is better than others when it comes to this detail (Exped/BigAgnes), but I don't know if within the Camprest inflatables if one is better than another..

They do not. The standard Neoair (the yellow one) has a very thin material, whereas the Neoair All-Season uses the same material as the Trekker --- a thicker and more durable material. Having owned the Neoair (returned it), the Neoair All-Season, and a Prolite (my first air mattress), I'd say that both the Neoair and Neoair All-Season are less "slippy." I also own a cushy Exped and that might be the least slippy, but it's heavy and bulky and I never use it on climbs. BTW, the reason I got rid of my Neoair and got the Neoair All-Season is because the thin material on my Neoair somehow managed to puncture on who knows what -- it's just not that durable.
