Confort, isolation et usage outdoor
Designed for adventurous trips and explorers, the Venture sleeping pad delivers legendary NeoAir comfort to any camp. Built with our WaveCore construction, the 2.2 R-value pad creates cells of air that retain warmth and shield from the cold.
The two-inch (5cm) pad uses tough 50D polyester face is backcountry ready, giving you confidence during camping and backpacking adventures.
Son enveloppe en polyester 50 deniers offre une bonne résistance aux utilisations répétées et aux contraintes du terrain.
Le matelas Therm-a-Rest Neoair Venture s’est avéré être très confortable. Il est suffisamment épais (5 cm) et la structure en boudins est efficace.
Le tissu et la structure WaveCore garantissent une isolation efficace du sol, du moins pendant l’été.
For comfort-conscious campers, we use stretch knit fabric for unrivaled support and superior next-to-skin feel.
Le NeoAir Venture est fourni avec un sac-pompe qui facilite le gonflage sans avoir à souffler directement dans la valve. Ce système limite l’introduction d’humidité à l’intérieur du matelas et permet une mise en place rapide au bivouac.
The easy-to-pack Venture features the high-performance WingLock valve, allowing the pad to inflate three times faster thanks to a larger opening and one-way inflation.
Le gonflage est aisé et grandement facilité par le système anti-retour de la technologie WingLock : des ailettes se vissent ou se dévissent selon que l’on souhaite gonfler le matelas ou le dégonfler.
Je l’avais trop gonflé au départ et je le trouvais trop dur. Les ailettes de la valve m’ont permis de le dégonfler facilement et finement pour régler la fermeté du matelas selon mon goût.
J’ai gonflé le matelas Therm-a-Rest Neoair Venture en deux temps à la bouche avec environ 20 insufflations.
Je n’ai pas utilisé le sac pompe mais il est préconisé de l’utiliser pour éviter d’insuffler de l’humidité dans le matelas.
Dimensions, format et place dans la tente
J’ai testé le modèle regular, le plus petit, qui mesure 51 X 184 cm, ce qui est très luxueux pour moi qui mesure 1.52 mètre.
Malgré la forme rectangulaire qui peut être gênante dans les tentes étroites et quand on est deux, le matelas Therm-a-Rest Neoair Venture est un bon matelas de randonnée, agréable et efficace pour l'été et les mi-saisons avec un bon rapport qualité/prix.
Check the floor dimensions of your tent to see if they will accommodate the extra width of a NeoLoft pad. Lengthwise, every NeoLoft size will fit in the typical backpacking tent.
The floor dimensions of most 2-person backpacking tents are typically 50-52 in (127-132 cm) wide by 88-90 in (223-229 cm) long.
If your 2-person backpacking tent is 52 in (132 cm) wide, then it will fit two Regular Wides or two Longs, or one of each.
Cette vérification des dimensions est particulièrement utile lorsque l’espace intérieur est limité et que l’on veut optimiser le couchage en randonnée.
Poids, compacité et sensations sur le terrain
Lorsque j’ai reçu le matelas, j’ai été agréablement surprise par sa taille et son poids réduits car il prenait le relais d’un matelas auto-gonflant des années 90.
Great weight/ pack size. not "Great weight/ pack size. not flimsy. Not noisy like some of the competition. Inflation sack is actually faster than the oldskool thermarests, once you get the hang of it -even more so if you have a sideways breeze running. For my back, the neo air design is not too far off, but slightly less comfy than the old school self inflating thermarests. But totally worth it for the weight/size advantage."
Exceptionnellement confortable et très compact une fois dégonflé, il convient bien aux sorties où le volume transporté doit rester limité.
Il est même possible de le trouver autour de 60 € en R, j'en avais commandé 2 exactement pour ces raisons: problèmes de dos, et petit budget pour équiper la famille entière... mais on les a renvoyés: il contient une "structure" intérieure (sensée doubler la R-Value) qui semble faite de papier alu, style couverture de survie fine, et qui fait un bruit d'enfer dès qu'on s'appuie et qu'on bouge dessus.
It makes Noise! When Ever it is moved, shifts, layed upon, slept on, Touched! It Crinkles and Crackles like a bag of potato chips being Crunched up. I HATE IT!! When I sleep outside I crave Silence (except for the Night Sounds).
Le matelas reste donc pertinent pour ceux qui privilégient le compromis entre encombrement, confort et budget, tout en acceptant des sensations sonores variables selon les usages.

"All in all, this is a comfortable mattress, lightweight, small pack size, with a great price." - "I have one of the earliest Neo airs and now the Venture and these sleeping pads are amazing." - Lukeb371
"So if you use it inside tent, as I do, I think it makes really good mattress, for a reasonable price." - Urban
"This pad provides a good balance between comfort, price, and size. It's too bulky for hardcore backpacking, but it's just right for low-key trips." - Jack M
"I bought a NeoAir pad in 2011 for use on a cot during field exercises in the military. It is extremely comfortable, has a small size when deflated, and light weight. I still use it to this day. One of my all time best purchasing decisions. This is a quality product that is worth every penny." - William (5/5)
"Great pad!" - Kye M. (5/5)
"My first sleeping pad for camping and I found it to be incredibly comfortable. Valve is great for adjusting firmness for comfort. Great for side sleepers." - Dane L. (5/5)
"Very comfortable and easy to use. The surface is quite slippery and I find blankets easy go missing in the night. Overall a very sound night's sleep, with exceptional temperature regulation" - Ian M. (4/5)
"Hips dd not hit the ground!" - Judy M. (5/5)
"20 veterans took off to hike the AT in March with this sleeping pad, 14 are still hiking, and not a single one has popped or leaked!" - Angela M. (5/5)
"I am a professional river guide and outdoor education teacher and therefore needed a durable but light pad that I could use many days of the year. This pad has been the perfect choice for me over the past 3 years. I have used in in Alpine environments, Spring, Summer, and Fall in both Canada and New Zealand and have never had an issue. It is a bit slow to inflate but once it is inflated it's good to go and never needs a top-up. If you are doing super cold weather camping or are a very sensitive sleeper, I could see this being too thin, but I have loved how compact, yet comfortable this pad is. Big YES from me!" - Simon (5/5)
"It Crinkles! ..."
Matériaux, fabrication et entretien
Like all Therm-a-Rest pads, the NeoAir Venture is made in market to ensure quality and minimize environmental impact.
Solution-dyed fabric uses pre-dyed fibers to minimize the water and energy required to color the fabric. This means that color, or pigment, is added to the material producing the completed fabric.
Every piece of Therm-a-Rest gear is designed to endure the rigors of your time in the backcountry.
We offer a Limited Lifetime Warranty on all products, except electronic devices, which have a 2-year Limited Warranty.
We accept returns within 30 days of purchase.
Self-Inflating: We recommend storing the mattress unrolled and fully inflated in a dry place with the valve open. This will ensure the foam self-inflates faster when camping.
Regular cleaning will extend the life of your mattress, especially if you sleep in direct contact with its surface.
Do not put your mattress in the washing machine. Cleaning with a hose or in a bathtub is best. Do not forget to close the valve while washing.
In freezing conditions, avoid breath inflating your self-inflating pad. The moisture from your breath can freeze inside the mattress.
The mattress may self-inflate slower in cold weather.
Self-inflating sleeping pads rely on the compressible and rebound-able open cell foam cores to self-inflate.
The atmospheric pressure around the pad pushes air into the rebounding open cells when the valve is opened.
Generally, it takes 5-15 minutes for any of our self-inflating pads to inflate on their own.
That 10-minute variance range is probably due to one of the following factors: core construction, trained compression, elevation and temperature.
We find the most significant factor is trained compression (i.e. if your pad is new and has been factory rolled on the shelf for some time or stored rolled up for a few months).
Self-inflation begins when the valve is opened and ends when equilibrium is reached between the atmospheric pressure outside the cells and the air pressure within the cells pushing the other way.
If you think that your NeoAir or self-inflating sleeping pad are losing air, it’s possible that you have a puncture in your pad.
