    I have 4 Thermrest that are 32 years old. Can't count the number of nights spent on them but we did use them for 2 months in Alaska. Never had any leaks.

    Another plug for Thermarest. I have a couple of the older Dreamtime's. So comfortable and bulletproof.

    It’s amazing it took this many years, it’s a no brainer. How long have people have a gas grill on their deck :annoyed:

    Well the bottles do get a bad seal eventually. Just gotta stop and inspect and not use if you smell a leak.

    The 2 main competitors have advantages and disadvantages each.
    The stand, the tool, and the release valve if I recall.
    One brand has small canisters too.
