I hike thousands of miles a year and have long used the Neoair Xlite short. It worked ok on well-made trails such as the PCT, but since I have started hiking more rugged routes such as the Hayduke and ODT and NNML the Neoair has often gotten holes that are sometimes hard to locate and repair in the middle of nowhere. I was skeptical that a foam pad would work for me but did my research and tried the shorter-length Switchback. It isn’t anything like sleeping on my mattress at home, but after 20- and 25-mile days I can sleep on it better than I expected. And no popping in the middle of the night! Thanks, Nemo.
