What do i do with all the extra space left in my pack now that I hace chucked away my old sleeping pad?
The reason why I don't give it five out of five is because it still has some way to go before it insulates good enough when sleeping directly on snow. Anyway It still saves weight and space. Get one!
(I used the the extra space for chocolate in case you wondered)

The NeoAir is not meant to be used directly on snow, although many people (myself included) does so. The Neo has an R-Value of 2.5, which equals out to don't use this in anything less than about 40 F. Saying this, I do not understand why you rated it lower when you are trying to use if for something it was not designed to be used for, and then blame it's short comings on the design. I wouldn't rate a 40 F bag poorly because it will not keep me warm in 0 F temperatures.
