"I ’m a side sleeper and I find it to be comfortable."
"as a side sleeper I've found it to be quite decent. ... The construction (the "V"s) results in less contact between my body and the pad, so I get less often sore spots."
"I'm an older camper and need more padding than the thinner closed cell mats."

"What kills me about Klymit is that they know their R value is low. But instead of updating or adjusting their design (which it doesn’t appear that they’ve done in years) they still advertise their mere up R value, I guess hoping most customers won’t understand ASTM testing. ... I’m just surprised they haven’t done anything in these past few years to produce a warm pad. ... In just surprised there are people, even in this thread so many years after Klymit got their pads officially tested, that are still quoting Klymit’s made up R value of 4.4 for the their insulated pads. How many years has it been now? 1.9 ASTM tested R value. Nowhere close to 4.4."
"Klymit is known to completely bullshit their R-value ratings. ... They had an insulated pad rated at 4.4 that they later (had to?) revise to 1.9. ... I personally wouldn't trust them. ... just stay clear of the insulated claims."
"Just make sure whatever you buy is actually ASTM tested for the R-value. So avoid Klymit for example. ... If it’s not ASTM tested, they can make up any number they want to. ... It’s night and day between my Nemo Tensor all-season and my Klymit Static-V Insulated"

"My klymix static v used for occasional camping just got tossed cause of leaks."
"I somehow managed to poke a hole through both sides including the tyvek ground cover and tent. ... Shit happens when you sleep on the ground. ... I consider these things to be consumable and assume I'll have to replace for whatever reason. ... They're just glorified pool floats."
"inspite of the fabrics being tough over found these pads all develop slow leaks after ~3 years and I'll be buggered if I can find them. ... They lose about 50% of the their air over 4-5 hours so you find yourself touching ground in the middle of the night and having to pump a few breaths of air into it."

"While it was better, I still didn’t sleep much. ... I am not sure this was my problem as I distinctly remember feeling a lot of the hard ground underneath my when I turned on my side."
"I’m a side sleeper and wake up with hip and shoulder pain with the Klymit unless I use a cut down CCF pad under it."
"I think I’ve determined that I need an open cell/self inflating style pad to prevent hip pain on the ground."

"The first generation pads we have are translucent and they get mold inside from the humidity in your breath."
"Also you use your breath to inflate them and I suspect they get pretty icky eventually. ... I try to air mine out whenever possible in the sun hoping that keeps the air chamber somewhat disinfected."

"Only downside is that it takes time to inflate."
