In my quest for a new sleeping pad, I have not been impressed with recent ultralite pads that use a "crinkly" material, that is neither comfortable to the skin, nor quiet. Read our About page for more information, and check out our gear reviews, trip reports, and outdoor guides.

But the Klymit Insulated Static V’s design makes it so that with roughly 15 breaths it’s fully inflated.When you live in Hawaii and want to hit the north shore of Oahu and the west side of the island, you only have two options: drive two hours out of your way, or hike past Kaena Point.

I find that with this pad (> 20 nights), the minimum comfort range is somewhere in the upper 40's to low 50's. I often suck air out to fully deflate it, but in the end I haven't found this to be a major problem and am very happy with the pad. It weighs 25 ounces, which is not ultralight, but plenty light for most backpackers and lighter than most comparable self-inflating pads. Spec’d in a military-ready color, the Insulated Static V Recon delivers all-season comfort, and with an outstanding 4. The Klymit Insulated Static V is a lightweight camping pad using body mapping technology with all season warmth and comfort now in a military friendly color.We recommend this pad for people looking for a warm sleeping pad that doesn't weigh or cost too much. Now, through the addition of our Mountain Warehouse Marketplace, we’re partnering with more sellers and brands to bring you our widest ever CHOICE of products across even more categories. My plan was to use my already tested and loved Cumulus Lite Line 400 sleeping bag, pair it with a Sea to Summit Reactor Extreme liner and have a decent winter sleeping pad to make for a great insulation combo. It also compresses down to a relatively small package and should fit in your backpack without an issue.
