I love the Trail Lite Sleeping Pad. But as a first time Therma-rest user, I must say that this claim to be "self-inflating" is sheer nonsense.
It does pack up small and it is lightweight. And compared to my old foam pad (which packed up to the same size and approximate weight) it is a million times more comfortable. But even after following the instructions to the letter it still required a significant number of "puffs of air" to get up to a usable inflation.
All in all a great thing, but it should really be termed Partially Self Inflating .
