Therm-a-Rest long term haul reliability?
Do they withstand the extreme usage and conditions - i.e. wear of the surface, punctures, etc?
I hear some self-iflating sleeping mats like Ferrino the surface material wears out relatively quickly.
Looking currently for a reliable sleeping mattress, Thermarest Trail Comfort looks like a deal with very good isolation properties (R=5), very compact when packed and relatively lightweight. But the question is will it serve us well for years or it just "tires out" after few years, doesn't inflate itself well anymore or other problems occur?
Any idea if the freshly announced puncture resistant models deserve their higher price compared to the "regular" models? (repair kit is separately available)
