Hi all,

I just bought a Thermarest Trail Scout Self-Inflating Mat and I am not sure if I am doing something right.

I followed the instructions and unrolled the mat, let is self-inflate, I left it for over an hour, then I blew a deep breath into it. However, when blowing into the valve the air, when I run out of breath I can feel the air pushing back out the valve, and when I remove my mouth the air I just put in escapes entirely. I am able to put in a deep breath and close the valve which keeps the majority in, and the mat is comfortable enough when testing on the tiled floor.

So, I am wanting to know, is this correct or is it meant to be a one-way valve and I should return the product to be replaced?

Thanks anyone that can advise on this.
