KLYMIT Insulated Static V Lite Inflatable Sleeping Pad | Comfortable, Lightweight, Easy to Inflate, Portable Air Bed for Hiking, Backpacking & Camping — Orange

Awesome product. The new valve is an improvement from the prior design. Both made for easy inflation/deflation but the new design has even better inflation via the one-way valveThese are super light and comfy.Two of these went with me on a trip to Panama and were used on a sailboat for two weeks. Since they don't have a porous surface water rolls off and they were always dry. We put these down on the benches in the sailboat over the cushions in the boat, making the seats much more comfortable. Our friend really loved them, so we left them behind to remain on the boat. These were also great to take on afternoon trips to the beach from sailboat.

The pad is super comfortable. The shape prevents you from touching the ground, even if you're a side sleeper. It was easy to blow up with only 7 breaths. It held air all night and is pretty light for the price. Used on several backpack hunts already.

PROs- The synthetic insulation does provide a nice reflective heat when laying directly on the pad. Did not test using sleeping bag.- Of the 3 pads I tested (Gear Doctors Self Inflating/Insulated Pad & MEETPEAK Foot Press Inflatable Pad) it was by far the most comfortable in any body position- back, side or stomach.- Met description that 10 breaths completely inflate pad, 2 extra breaths provided extra firmness.- Of all the value inflatable pads I’ve used in my life this is the most effortless and quickest to deflate and put back in original bag.- Stayed firmly inflated for an entire week.CONs- Pad does not come with a pillow, thus the you’ll lose some length if you choose to use one, thereby can become to short for people over 5’6”, assuming the pillow is approximately 6” wide.- The pad inflation value is flat against the pad which does make it slightly burdensome to inflate. However, finding a sports drink cup straw that married up to value worked easier for me. Note I cut the straw down to about 6” (the size of a dollar bill).- Being an inflatable pad if it does get a leak (pin hole) finding the hole by dipping in a creek in 38 degree weather. With this said, the material is fairly tough and don’t believe you would sustain a leak if using a ground pad a/o footprint.Why did I not choose this pad- it came down to the pillow.

I travel a lot and find most beds uncomfortable as a side sleeper (too hard, too gooey, too indented, etc). So I got this to travel with. Recently took it on a trip in my carry on. Found it very comfortable, was surprised at how supportive feels for my body. I also need it as quiet as possible because I move around a lot and sometimes am in a room with other people. It's not silent, but def quieter than others I tried or looked at, and it didn’t bother me when I moved. I can blow it up with 12 very full breaths. Very easy to deflate and pack up.

I was so excited to get this ‘insulated’ pad that boasted an R value of 4.4, I believe? Last night in my zero degree Enlightened Equipment bag, with the cold weather Klymit sheet on top of the Klymit sleeping pad, Thermarest closed cell pad beneath everything, my base layers, down balaclava, down booties, and my down pants nearby, I settled in for a 40 degree sleep. My whole body was freezing from the cold coming from beneath me. Thank goodness for using my gear at home before heading out to the Mid State Trail across PA and the Colorado Trail this spring and summer. I’m glad I saw a YouTube video review that stated Klymit’s insulated pad did not have the 4+ R value it claimed, and is rated at more like a 1.3. I’ll still keep it for warmer weather, as it is light and packable, and very comfortable.

I am 5'8" 155 Lbs, and change sleeping positions all night. I like a firm mattress. Even when I slept on my side I could find a comfortable position. Maybe a fit 20 year old could fill it with ten breaths, it took me twenty but I did not make myself dizzy. The valve cap is a bit fiddley. I strongly suggest you get a tiny electric air pump so you do not fill it will your moist lung air.Overall very good price performance ratio. Insulated, lightweight and compact.

A little spendy but then all lightweight and easily packable items always are. This was the perfect choice for me for size and weight in my backpack. Easy to inflate and deflate, durable, very comfortable and helps to keep me warm at night. Lots of choices out there but this one I highly recommend.

These may have been just our experience so use your own judgement.I bought two of these for me and girlfriend along with the inflator bag to use on a 7 day/70 mile hike in southern Missouri (hilly/rocky terrain).The inflate/deflate valve is easy to operate and great but the cap over the valve is horrible and nearly impossible to get to snap close without accidently hitting the adjustment tab and loosing some air.The material seems durable, but only one trip with them in a tent isn't enough to say. Klymit must feel they are because all you get for a patch kit is a 1"x2" piece of Tenacity tape (love that stuff)We used them for the first 5 nights with night time temps ranging from 32 to 60 degrees and never were cold (very weird weather patterns in S Mo).But given all these they were not a match made in heaven for us. In fact we cursed every night about using them as for both of us they hurt our backs. Mind you I'm 5'11 195lbs and an experienced backpacker and she's 5'4 115 lbs and this was her first multi-night trip, so wasn't just a matter of weight distribution or experience. The last 2 nights we gave up and slept on $10 blue Walmart camping pads and woke up only once in the night.
