Klymit Static V Lightweight Sleeping Pad

Product Information

The topper fabric is very soft and quiet. And overall, the pad is pretty quiet when you shuffle around on it. But it’s definitely not silent and does create a few crinkles when you shift around. Inflation and Deflation Whether you are going hiking, camping or on long epic expedition, a good nights sleep can make all the difference between a great trip and a terrible one. We all know that getting in some quality Zzzzs refreshes the mind and the body and sets us up for an awesome day out on the trail. Our team rated this as one of their best budget sleeping pads because it still provided excellent warmth and protection from the hard ground at a fraction of the price. Ok, so it’s not the most comfortable on the list but for a foam pad, it’s up there with the best. On the plus side, this thing is never going to get puncture or deflate! They also found that they could fold the pad over double in some sections to add a bit of extra padding. The newest version of the legendary Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite NXT again takes home high honors in the ultralight category. The most current version of this pad gained some extra warmth and shaved off a few ounces. Plus, it's now considerably quieter than previous versions — light sleepers who couldn't handle the crinkling sound from this pad can now sleep soundly. The NeoAir Xtherm ditches the mainstream rectangular shape for a contoured build. This makes it overall more weight-effective, without compromising comfort and it’s a seriously comfortable, seriously lightweight sleeping pad – as an all rounder, the Xtherm is hard to beat, but it ain’t cheap and there are some better value options out there.

I left the mat inflated for a week with some weights on it and I'm glad to say that the replacement held up great. There were no leaks from the valve. I did make sure the cap over the valve was closed tightly also though.When all is said and done, you’re not buying this pad for winter camping, you are buying it because it’s a comfortable, lightweight summer sleeping pad. Score: 2.5/5 Comfort/Stability Sleeping pads typically come in various sizes, and users can choose the option that best suits their body and preferences. Common sizes include regular, which is usually around 6 feet long, and large, which tends to be closer to 80 inches. Pad width also varies, but anywhere between 18 and 26 inches is fairly standard. Now for me, that's not a major issue as I don't plan on using this in the winter months. It may get used in early spring and late fall, and I think the insulating factor it does have will do fine for me. If you're a winter camper that relies on true R-value, you may want to consider other brands. We got to take a look at the updated Flyer for 2023, and can confirm that it is still worthy of the pad’s stellar reputation. This popular hybrid design is now made with bluesign approved fabrics, and is produced in a resource-conserving way that greatly reduces its impact on the environment. We’re big fans of that. Klymit combines some of the best features of foam and air sleeping pads for a unique hybrid mattress called Klymaloft.

The most awesome thing about this air mattress is the ‘internal stabiliser’ that makes sure your weight is distributed evenly while you snooze. I hiked with the smaller version of this pad on the Appalachian Trail, and though not an ultralight choice, I got excellent sleep night after night – which makes it worth its weight in gold. This sleeping pad is the lightest 4-season pad we've ever seen while also being the warmest in our lineup On my first night on the Static V2, I felt that I slept much more comfortable thanks to the body mapping. The V-shape cradles your body, so you don’t slip off your pad or twist your sleeping bag around in the middle of the night.I sleep on my side and often find that I wake up with sore shoulders when camping out, the Static V2 is a perfect sleeping pad for side sleepers and I found it very comfortable to sleep on, unlike the X Frame. As a side sleeper, I found adjusting the pad to a middle firmness allowed me to find comfort on my side while still supporting me off the ground entirely.
