Klymit Insulated Static V Sleeping Pad

Product Information

We tested and reviewed the Klymit Insulated Static V. Klymit makes a number of different versions of this sleeping pad — all them have the V-shaped baffles, a twist and pull valve, and are wider than normal pads. If you want an uninsulated pad, the Static V or Static V2 are good options. They weigh around a pound each, but know that they have no insulation. 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. Let’s take a look at what makes a sleeping pad comfortable. The optimal sleeping pad will feel as light as a feather; you want to feel like you are sleeping on air – no pressure points or deflation throughout the night!

Nafukovací karimatku jsem prvně vyzkoušel asi před tři čtvrtě rokem a to ve formě aliexpres ultralight kopie této. Byla kamarádova, on ji použil dvakrát, já jednou, pak totálně odešla. Byli jsem z toho pohodlí proti pěnovkám tak nadšení, že jsme oba nezávisle před půl rokem na sobě koupili nafukovací. On zvolil jinou značku, já tento, osvědčený tvar. This is an insulated pad with a relatively high R-Value. Above 4 is enough for all 4 seasons. More on R-Value and Temperature rating in our Guide. 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 UseI will say that I used this sleeping pad in the lower 40s (F) without any insulation between the floor and my pad or my pad and my sleeping bag. I still stayed warm, despite this pad’s low rating. This could be due to its deep weld patterning.

I just spent 60+ days in a row sleeping on the insulated static v. I am thoroughly convinced that there isn't a better pad for the money. I was comfortable and warm every night, though temps never got lower than 30ish.Klymit uses a standard twist and pull valve. It’s well made and works well. More on sleeping pad valve types in our Guide. Your breath inflates this pad. That makes it lighter, but it takes effort to set up at the end of the day.
