I have tried many sleeping pads and have never had a problem sleeping on any of them. I have a Klymit Inertia X Frame pad that works great because it’s designed to go inside the sleeping bag. Love the fact that I never roll off in the middle of the night and is less likely to get punctured. It weighs 19oz. Will also add that I did a bikepacking trip in Canyonlands and had no trouble with my $69 Klymit. Meanwhile my brother’s brand new $250 Thermarest leaked air every night of the trip so he basically slept on the ground.
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?
If it's not cold, you can save space and weight with an uninsulated inflatable. I have a klymit inflatable that took me across Scotland. I used a z-lite on top of it for cold nights since that is negligible weight and can be stored externally. But my real answer is a hammock.
I use a cheaper blow-up Klymit with some reflectix r21 over the top. Super light and cost effective. My blow-up pillow has an elastic strap, which i use to keep them together at the head, and at the toe, I just use a piece of paracord. I've done this for years and never felt the need for a $200 + sleep mat.
Love our klymit
Klymit is durable *for an inflatable sleeping pad*. You'll still be lucky to get more than 50 nights out of one. I know because I've gone through 3 of them. The only truly durable sleeping pads are closed cell. On my year long trip I gave up on inflatables after too many cold, uncomfortable nights of reinflating my pad every hour.
I have their foam foldy guy which is amazing. I also have had 3 inflatable Klymits. Don't buy Klymit lol they have all failed me after a couple uses As others have said, for backpacking this is the only brand I'd buy. The foam one, as I said, is great. Think it's just preference if you want inflatable or foam but maybe there is a weight difference For car camping there are comfier choices
