My new sleeping pad deflated on a cold night in the White Mountains
I bought a Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite last month for a backpacking trip. The first night out, the temperature dropped to 28 degrees. I woke up at 3 AM on the hard ground because the pad had lost almost all its air. I learned that some pads need a few breaths of air added after they cool down at night. Has anyone else had this happen with an inflatable pad in the cold?

That "need a few breaths" thing sounds like a design flaw, not a user tip.

Yeah exactly, calling it a "user tip" is just a nice way to say the product is annoying. I mean if a coffee maker sprayed hot water everywhere, they wouldn't tell you to just stand back. They'd fix the machine. It's the same thing here, putting the blame on the person using it instead of the thing that's poorly made.
