I never ditched my traditional T-rests after first acquiring a NeoAir but honestly, they sit on the shelf, taking up space and gathering dust, trip after trip. So I suppose I'm still voting inflator.

And speaking of space, one of the seldom-sung advantages is the relatively tiny amount of pack space they consume compared to any foam pad. A shorty NeoAir is like a sandwich roll and a full-length warmer model is only about twice the bulk. Not to mention they're inside, safe from sharp branches and the like.

Cheers,
