Reviews & Ratings for Klymit Insulated Static V Sleeping Pad — 23 reviews — Page 1

The pad works well and insulation kept me warm on a 4 night backpacking trip. I felt no cold at all on my backside (38F-42F nights). I let a little air out of it to be more comfortable for me as I'm used to a soft airbed. Packs down nicely and doesn't take up too much room.

Another great product from Klymit...I love how compact and lightweight this sleeping pad is. As advertised, the insulation is fantastic. I immediately purchased another one for my wife and she loves it.

Same as above

Perfect service

The best part of Klymit is that you feel like your are not going to roll off the sleeping pad. Very comfortable!

Light, Durable, Comfortable

BLUF: given size, weight, R-value and price; this pad is a top contender.

I made this purchase a couple months ago at about 50% confidence in what I was doing. I was wary of the 30D construction, so I spoke

with Klymit. Their assurance of durable construction convinced me to proceed.

Soon thereafter, the kids and I yard-camped for my first trial. Klymit advertises 10-12 breaths for inflation... I was pleased to

realize this truth! 12 breaths! You can force a little more, but not much. After a little scary story shenanigans, we laid down. I

wallered around a bit just to see if I could pressure my hips or shoulders into the ground and couldn't (you shouldn't be able to do

that in any 2.5" pad). I slept great. I'm a side sleeper so I usually use garments in a medium-sized stuff sack as a pillow. I slept

just fine on my side and also slept on my back with no discomfort. Because of the air chamber configuration, you can sometimes cause a

squeak sound when sitting on or getting on/off the pad -this happens when air is forced from one chamber to another.

Later that month, I traveled to Colorado for work. I managed to plan with a couple friends and squeezed in a weekend elk scouting

trip. This was my first real field test. We backpacked a few miles into an area and stayed one night in order to recon this new area

and the wildlife activity. Being fatigued, I -again- had no issue falling asleep and staying asleep.

I've used the pad for backpacking a few times now, Seems to be durable, you don't slide off or feel the ground under you. Kept me warm and was good for all sleeping positions. Quick & Easy to inflate. I have had problems closing the air valve tho. That's why the 4 stars. Other then that I like it.

I have used this pad twice, so I can't vouch for durability, but it is (relatively) very comfortable for side sleeping. I'm pleased.

This sleeping pad does its job well. I camped for several nights back to back with this pad and it provided a comfortable night's sleep. My sleeping bag did not "slide" off of the pad, and it provided adequate support when fully inflated. If car camping, I recommend adding an old sleeping bag or similar under the pad. Definitely not necessary, but helpful in adding more cushion between your sleeping setup and the ground. Packs small, inflates quickly, intuitive valve system.

I have wanted one of these pads for some time. Haven't tried it out on a backpacking trip yet but look forward to thoroughly testing it this summer.
