I recently obtained a damaged Thermarest NeoAir Trekker, size Regular, which had been deemed trash-worthy by someone else. Apparently it had a leaky valve, and the previous owner didn't want to undertake a repair.
So I did a quick valve replacement using the Thermarest Valve Repair kit. This was a simple process and took no more than 10 minutes.
I inflated the mat, and left it overnight to test if was airtight. Morning proved that there was still a leak, so I dunked it in some soapy water and found a small pinhole in the top surface of the mat.
A judicious application of Seamgrip should remedy the pinhole. This repair is still curing, so I'll report on the results after another overnight test tonight. Fingers crossed.
