"I am a side sleeper and skinny/boney. It’s not super thick, but I never touch the ground."
"Static V Luxe >> Static V in terms of comfort ... it inflates a good amount and is designed to kind of hug you as you lay on it which adds to the comfort."
"Comfort is subjective. I find my Klymit pad to be very comfortable, more so than most of the other sleeping pads from bigger name manufacturers that I tried when I was shopping around."

"Tiny volume for each."
"I use it for bikepacking or solo backpacking. ... And they’re smaller than a Nalgene!"
"I’m a big fan of the Klymit sleeping pads because they shrink down to a very small bag."

"of the two I bought both of them wouldn’t hold air in them. It’s the valve system they use, it leaks air."
"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."

"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."
"Klymit lies about their r value and it’s really closer to 1.6 or 2. ... I am pissed at them for selling uninsulated pads marketed as insulated."
"i also bought a klymit pad and froze ... their R value is completely fabricated"

"My ass is always hitting the ground with the Klymit V."
"Their R-values are definitely BS though: I feel my heat getting sucked away from the ground on cold nights."
"With a thickness of 2.5", the Klymit Static V Insulated is uncomfortable for side-sleepers"

"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."
Klymit Static V Luxe. I have the insulated version, and it's amazing - wide, very comfortable and warm!
r/wildcampingintheuk • Recommendations for a wide sleeping pad around £100 ->6'3" 328lbs I use the Static V Luxe.
r/CampingGear • Big Guy needs help picking a backpacking sleeping pad. ->> Klymit Static V Luxe 6'4" 240. I use this one.
r/CampingGear • Big Guy needs help picking a backpacking sleeping pad. ->I had a Klymit Static V Luxe (the extra wide one) and while it's decent enough, I upgraded to a Sea-To-Summit Camp Plus self inflating mat, and that one is way more comfy for me (I'm a side sleeper). It has a much better R value to boot, I think 4.3 vs 1.3 for the non-insulated static V. It does take up more room in the top box but it's worth it to me for the better sleep. I think it's about the same price as well.
r/motocamping • What‘s the comfiest (ultralight) camping mat for dual sporting? ->Static V Luxe >> Static V in terms of comfort if the dimensions work for your setup. I can't speak to durability yet as I've only had both for 1 season. What I can say is that it inflates a good amount and is designed to kind of hug you as you lay on it which adds to the comfort.
r/CampingGear • Need a better sleeping pad. Any suggestions? ->Klymit Static V Luxe. 6’ 1” 285lbs. Packs down to a soda can size if folded/packed correctly
r/CampingGear • Big Guy needs help picking a backpacking sleeping pad. ->I have a Klymit Static V Luxe air pad and a Thermarest Luxury Map XL self inflating. I don’t backpack so space/weight are not an issue. The Thermarest is way more comfortable, not to mention warmer because of the high R value.
r/camping • Self inflating vs air pad comfort ->Used a high end Klymit and a £15 temu/Alibaba job in the past year. Both pretty good
r/wildcampingintheuk • Sleeping Pad Suggestions ->I love my Klymit Static V insulated
r/camping • Backpacking Sleeping Pad Recs ->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
r/camping • Can't find a good sleeping pad ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
