The number of times you record reviews fromthis location I am suprised I have not bumped into at leastonce..lol Mind, I was in the shop in Hereford an hour ago and didn't see you Ben..you must be over there now 😃 Good review and one day I will have that Thermarest mat - will go with the bag I just picked up at the shop. In the meantime I will have to do with my noisey version. atb Al
Haha, one day you'll catch us. Ben's been on holiday the last week, so you probably missed him by a few days. Enjoy your new bag and thanks for the support.
That depends on your preference and tent space. The Max is going to be the most comfortable because you get more space on the mat, but if you are after a slightly smaller package or are tighter on space in your tent then the Mummy might suit you better.
Never tried it ourselves, but see no reason why it wouldn't work. The included pumpsack is a very efficient way of inflating and doesn't require any power, but as a luxury a Flextail pump should work.
We'd never recommend inflating a sleeping mat with your breath. If you do, moisture and microorganisms can make their way into the mat's interior, damage the insulation and lead to a build-up of odours and mould. Pump sacks are lightweight, and make inflating the mat effortless.
is it possible to blow up the neo air xlite nxt with the mouth without mold creating in the pad and without reduced isolation because of moisture going in the pad?

@@trekitt Thanks for contacting us. Yes of course you can inflate your pad by breath! I've been inflating pads this way for 30+ years. If you're worries at all about mold - you can place a t-shirt or lightweight cloth over the valve and then breath air into the pad. It is very, very rare for mold to grow in the inside of a pad. We've been making a variety of pads for just over 50 years, and most have to be "topped off" with some breaths to fully inflate them. We've rarely seen issues with mold unless somehow water was allowed into the pad through the valve. Unless the pad is used in temperatures below freezing for many days in a row so the moisture in a person's breath freezes to the materials inside the pad and starts to build up over many days of use, there isn't enough moisture in a persons breath to build up over time. Otherwise the little bit of moisture in the pad leaves when the pad is deflated. Thank you, Steve Customer Service Rep 2
Just recently found out that Trekitt is a sister company of Naturkompaniet in Sweden 🎉
I now got a new favourite shop in the UK🥳

Hej, I like your video. Definitely gonna buy it now. While watching I was wondering what tent you got there in the background?

should i buy it in MAX large or in Mummy large???

Hi, wich tent is in your back? nearly exactly for something like this i'm looking for
Hi, it's the MSR Tindheim 2-Person tent, check it out here www.trekitt.co.uk/sleep-shelter/tents/msr-tindheim-2-tent-green__49808
Hi, can you use an air pump, such as the Flexitail, with the Xlite?
Never tried it ourselves, but see no reason why it wouldn't work. The included pumpsack is a very efficient way of inflating and doesn't require any power, but as a luxury a Flextail pump should work.
Is it worth carrying the fairly large inflation sack or save weight by inflating by mouth?
We'd never recommend inflating a sleeping mat with your breath. If you do, moisture and microorganisms can make their way into the mat's interior, damage the insulation and lead to a build-up of odours and mould. Pump sacks are lightweight, and make inflating the mat effortless.
You can simply use the inflation sack, as the packing sack.

@@trekitt thanks a lot! But i got an answer from Thermarest. They told me that the opposite is true. No mold and no insulation problems
