Inertia Ozone Sleeping Pad

klymit inertia is pretty dang light. light enough that i went and got one to play with.

Im going to visit this summer 2 times in Lapland. To explore west side of Geaidno and Rastigaissa area to the Halkovarri. Im living next to Nuuksio National park, so if u want hiking friend for weekend, just write private message. Its is safe to hike around year, even in -20°C. But in mid winter naturally have to use skies. Last weekend I was overnight in Vääräjärvi, in East Nuuksio. I had Carinthia Survival dual layer sleeping bag, Klymit inertia, Under Klymit Inertia i had Kaira's Thermofolio Extreme foam pad. On top of Klymit i had Kaira's normal thin foam pad with 10 mm structural holes. If there comes dewpoints, it goes to thermofolio foam bad surface to keep my sleeping bag more dry. In Summer I have naturally different sleeping bag and only Klymit Inertia.

Anyone feel intertia series are backwards? Why are my hips and shouldes exposed but my feet and head so supported? Feet don’t matter and head has a pillow?

Ahh ok then yea low or no R-value would be fine in those cases. Klymit also makes a good lightweight low R-value pad, it's what I used in Texas and worked quite well in warmer weather. Not as heavy or thick as the one you linked, but much lighter and packs down smaller. Great if you're backpacking but there are better options if car camping imo. Exped Ultra 1R is also a good pad, the more insulated 3 and 5 are also popular for colder temps. I've used the Dura versions which are a heavier/more insulated version and it was comfortable. I've also heard good things about Nemo Tensor but have no experience with it.

Until I was almost 30 I really only needed something for the insulation as opposed to cushioning so I agree with everyone that said your kids will be fine on cheaper/simpler solutions. I often slept in a sleeping bag on top of an extra comforter blanket. I also agree with the full on air mattress sentiment if you’re car camping and not concerned with packing and space. I’ve never done this but know people that that do. I keep my gear small (as I like to motorcycle camp) so if you want something that doesn’t take up a lot of room have a look at the brand klymit; their cheapest inflatable sleeping pads are $50 but are as comfortable as some high end brands that can cost @ $200.
