Kilos Gear - AeroCloud Sleeping Pad Elite

I love my Thermarest neo topo air xl, but have recently picked up a KilosGear Aerocloud elite and it might be my new backpacking mat. More comfortable for side sleeping than even my thermarest.

A little cheaper, but very comfortable for a side sleeper on the larger side. https://kilosgear.com/products/aerocloud-sleeping-pad-elite

i know its a bit late, but I love it. Its not the lightest, but its comfortable and warmer than my 0 degree bag. It is a little wide tho, 26 inches, so you need to make sure it fits in your tent, but that extra inch is well worth the comfort. R-value wise, it feels a little colder than a 5.0 pad, but i think thats because its a 4 inch thick pad thats 26 inches wide. It also doesnt help that I am small for someone 5'11. TL:DR -- Its a good pad, comfortable, doesnt bottom out, warm enough for 3 season and maybe a bit into winter depending on where you are.

also the 4-5 pumps to fill with the sac is about right, I use the long version, and it takes 6-7 pumps to fill. not bad at all

This is why I've switched to Kilos elite pads after wasting decades and £££s on Nemo, Thermarest, etc. Kilos pads are at least 1/2 the price of the 'premium', but still unreliable, pads and easily the comfiest I've ever used. They look similar to the S2S Ether lites (which started leaking after 3 nights) but are way comfier for some reason.

Nemo Tensor, Kilos Gear AeroCloud Elite, Big Agnes Rapide SL, Thermarest NeoLoft. The Sea To Summit Etherlight XT is also comfortable but heavy and bulky for a backpacking pad.

I got my wife the Kilos Gear Aerocloud Elite, and another female friend of ours also borrowed it. It's equivalent to a regular/wide pad from Nemo, Thermarest, Big Agnes, etc. They both said it was significantly more comfortable than our Nemo Tensor which I think is considerably better than my older Thermarest NeoAir XLite. My wife has a double spinal fusion and says that the Kilos Gear still isn't perfect but then again she struggles even at home . Unfortunately Kilos Gear isn't sold at REI

Car camping or backpacking? I'm a backpacker, and I really like the Nemo Tensor All Season. Get it in wide. My wife now has the Kilos Gear Aerocloud Elite and it's also a fantastic pad. She said it's the most comfortable pad we've tried so far (haven't tried the Thermarest NeoLoft). The Big Agnes Rapide SL also gets high marks. The Thermarest NeoLoft is supposed to be the bomb, but it's a bit on the heavy side for backpacking. Most of these except for the Kilos Gear can probably be found at REI, and they usually have a "test model" on the floor that you can put down and lie on to see how they feel. Yes, some of these are very expensive. Wait for them to go on sale, either during the Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales in November, or during the big sale that happens in the Spring.

I'm late to this but I have their Elite pad in the long version. It may be a drop shipped and a copy of someone else's design, but it's worked perfectly for me. I've had probably 21 nights on it over a few years, so I can't speak to heavy usage, but it's as good as new for me. Slept on it down to about 30 degrees and it's been comfortable and cozy. At 6'5" and a hardcore side sleeper, I need a big pad. This is huge in all directions and weighs 2 pounds. I've never slept better in the back country. I would happily buy it again.

FWIW, I use a Kilos Gear Elite pad. I recall that they use ASTM standards.

I have been impressed with a company called Kilo's Gear so bought the AeroCloud Sleeping Pad Elite in Large. It comes in at under 700g and is a slight bit wider than most.

I recently purchased the kilos gear AeroCloud elite large. I’m 6’2”, weigh 220 and this pad checked off all my requirements. I’ve only used it once and found it warm and comfortable. I’m planning several backpacking trips to the Allegheny National Forest in PA soon. I’ll update this post as I go.

I went for the Kilos Gear AeroCloud. It comes in under 800g and I got it as I'm a side sleeper too. It's also wider than most. I've not had it long but it did have good longevity reviews. It's also has an R rating of 5.

Yes, I bought the large. I'll be testing it in the mountains of Saudi Arabia next weekend.

I bought the aerocloud! I blew it up and put it my tent and it was already hissing, on my first use…. I put up 2 reviews on IG, both were removed within an hour! I would look elsewhere

Kilo gear it was great inflated no issues and stayed up
