I haven't seen the new Trekker myself, but the extra width version does look attractive. I think the extra weight and volume, although not all that much, isn't worth the benefit to me personally. With regard to durablity, we've had no problems with the standard NeoAir, and we've pitched on some pretty rough terrain. This is going back a while!.

I agree with you, the small pack size would be for me the better reason to get one than the (very) low weight. I wasn't able to see though, which size you have - are they Small, Medium, Regular or Large? Nice review, Geoff.

My first one deflated overnight, and Bob changed it without any problem. The second has been fine for the four nights I have used it so far. That mirrors my experience.

This is a brand new product design for this weight class: the percentage of returns may well be within the statistical norm until the quality control issues are sorted. I will persist until I get another good one.
