Klymit Insulated Static V Sleeping Pad

Product Information

The V has an R value of 1.3, the Insulated at 4.4 — difference in volume is about 1L vs 2.5L of space (still half the size of the Trail lite). As a self-inflating pad user, I’m fond of the whole self-inflation thing. You open the valve, wait 30 minutes, and your mat is almost completely blown up for you. (Yes, you still have to put in the final few breaths for firmness.)

For R-rating, the Xlite rating is fine for me thus far. I only want to match it. Price factors in too. I sleep with a quilt, and will admit that on the colder nights, I could feel some small cold spots where both sides of the pad are welded together, and I imagine that could be a bigger deal if you were pushing the pad to its limits, temperature wise. If you sleep in a bag, it won't make any difference to you. I can be a cold sleeper, and expect that this pad would keep me happy into the teens before I'd want more insulation. Klymit’s sleeping pads are warrantied for life against manufacturing defects and workmanship issues. However, sleeping pad are notorious for being difficult to return and replace because of user error, popping, etc. Klymit has a great reputation, so if you think your pad is faulty, let them know. Secondly, this is a lightweight pad, as I’ve already stressed, and it is non-insulated and designed for summer. Its low R-value at 1.3 means this is not for high altitudes or mountaineers. That said, I used this pad at 8,500 feet on a 40-degree night without any insulation and just my sleeping bag for warmth. It was completely fine at this temperature.Klymit's Static V insulated sleeping mat is mid weight rather then ultralight, but for the extra weight you get a mat with a robust face fabric, a really decent R-Value and quite a comfortable nights sleep. At 6cm deep it offers a good level of comfort, especially compared to self inflating models. This was what I was most excited to test out, as my older pad has a normal, simple design. While I like my other pad, I do tend to wake-up multiple times in the night to adjust, as I am a side sleeper.

R-Value is the measurement used to gage a sleeping pad’s ability to insulate. The higher the R-value, the warmer the sleeping pad will be, as this what measures its capacity to “resist” (hence the “R”) heat flow. Side Rails: Integrated into the patterning and construction, side rails help provides a secure, comfortable sleep by centering you on the pad and inhibiting air movement while tossing and turning. The side rails help cradle your body in the center, even if you toss and turn. The V-Shape also helps keep you in place, and lofts your sleeping bag to keep you warmer. The Static V features a 75-denier face fabric, which feels quite tough and durable. We used this pad a lot throughout our test period, and we weren’t particularly delicate with it. Through a 2-week glacier trip in Alaska, numerous desert nights, and multiple car camping trips, we never experienced any punctures, holes, or tears. We anticipate that this pad would withstand several seasons of hard use. Ease of UseInsulation is important even in summer because you lose body heat to the ground.With an R-Value of only 1.3, the Static V2 is not recommended for cold temperatures. If you’re looking for something warmer, have a look at the ThermaRest NeoAir XLite NXT. The Klymit Insulated Static V is three inches wider than your standard sleeping pad. This gives you more room for a better sleep. Your elbows might not fall off!

Doporučuji pod karimatku brát nějaký kus plachty, kvůli zašpinění i kvůli propíchutí. Na druhou stranu vyzkoušeno, víc než jedna vrstva středně silné plachty nemá smysl! New, light, insulated V — still heavier, but more acceptably so (3.5 oz) — small enough difference that I'm willing to bet w/be worth a superior baffle/channel design. and I prefer the rectangular shape vs. the taper. (which i could get w/an Xtherm, but I don't need an Xtherm, and would weigh more) As the name suggests, the sleeping pad has a “V” shape from the center, while the outer edges are rectangles that form somewhat of a side rail. See the photo above. Nejsem převalovač, ale ti kdo jsou, před převalením z karimatky(a může to být třeba i z lavice) zapadnou do takové mezery na okraji karimatky a tak si můžou uvedomit, že by se měli vrátit.

Our Verdict

Klymalite™ Synthetic insulation: Lightweight, compressible and durable, advanced synthetic insulation in the chambers slows the transfer of air between the top and bottom halves of the pad for improved thermal performance.
