"Used and abused Static V going on its 9th year!"
"I've had a Klymit V for about 4 years and use it regularly. ... Only one puncture in the years I've used it but easy to patch and still going strong."
"Ours has lasted 7 years and is still going strong."

"I am a side sleeper and skinny/boney. It’s not super thick, but I never touch the ground."
"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."
"shockingly surprised that how comfortable it was in my mid 40s on the hard ground ... I even had room for an inflatable pillow because of it"

"I have a single that I use for backpacking and it’s pretty nice. ... I used to have a really lightweight thermarest but it wasn’t comfortable, especially for side sleeping with bad shoulders."

"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."

"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"
"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
"You can add my downvote for the Klymit V. They are pretty generous with their own R rating. Always check an independent review is what I learned using that glorified pool mat. ... I had an old one then. Luckily it wasn't too cold but even in the low 50s I felt the ground chill."

"With a thickness of 2.5", the Klymit Static V Insulated is uncomfortable for side-sleepers"
AdventureMissy 1.0Klymit Static V Luxe. I have the insulated version, and it's amazing - wide, very comfortable and warm!
EducationalOutcome26 1.0ive used a klymit insulated static v luxe for a few years now. its been good. i actually prefer it in my ridgerunner double layer hammock, its the perfect width for the pocket in the double layer hammock and laying down on it i can feel the heat kick back from the insulation. been down in the 30's with it no issue. cant speak of the ampex never even seen one, but my klymit has been good.

seehowshegoes 1.0Klymit Static V Luxe insulated 2lbs This brand is my favourite for price and they don’t make the crunchy chip bag noises.
segascott 1.0I 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.
Spaceman_Spoff 1.0Klymit Static V Luxe. 6’ 1” 285lbs. Packs down to a soda can size if folded/packed correctly
tlchai 1.0I 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.
1bourbon1scotch1bier 0.3I love my Klymit Static V insulated
crevasse2 0.3I have a Klymit Static V Insulated (4.4 r value) I used on the GDMBR in 2023. 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 patched it back up with the included patches and it's been fine. I consider these things to be consumable and assume I'll have to replace for whatever reason. They're just glorified pool floats. 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. I bought mine discounted at Sierra. Not showing online at the moment but might be in stores or this one looks like it's the same thing under a different sister brand (same copy on tag). I need to get one for wifey and I'll probably get this one.
