I spoke with Jane at stephensons warmlight. I'm not the first person to rip out the neoprene valve in the cold. She said that holding it against your body until it warms will save the valve. I thought of some warm water in a ziplock bag. I also thought of Janes picture in the catelog ... grin

Anyway Jim will be getting a new Stepensons DAM down air mattress for Christmas. smile I will be getting the 24 ounce size. I currenlty have the big one at 27 ounces.
Jim smile
