Static V

I've been using the Klymit Static V for about 5 years (summer only) and while I find it comfortable and the weight/pack-ability it great, I think I'm going to replace it with a Nemo Tensor All Season.

I'm 53. I only backpack 2-3 times a gear and car-camp maybe that much, too. A good bed is worth the extra weight. I've never owned one as expensive as the two you mentioned,but ypu gotta find those holes. I love my thin foam roll, my oversized, square - bottom, hooded top, lightweight sleeping bag, my 2' x 24" x 76 wide Klymit air pad inside that, and me in my fleece bag liner on top. All that only weighs 6 lbs, and can do a wide temp range.

For £50 you’re not going to get the same warmth as your old Ether, but you can get something comfy and reliable like the Klymit Static V If you want something easy to grab in-store go to a Decathlon and look at their Trek series pads which are pretty affordable too.

The klymit might not be great for side sleeping, you probably want something thicker. The megamat needs some air adjustment to be comfortable for me but once I get it right it’s very comfy.

I’m in my 40s and don’t have any trouble with my klimit V, if that’s any help. I have also had luck with my hammock, but finding two suitable trees isn’t always an option, and I had to learn to set it right (haha finally figured it out the last night of a through-hike). Also, in my areas, mosquito netting is a must. I am 5’10” and weigh 155#, so take the above with a grain of salt.

I just Sept on the rei campwell for 7 nights. Best sleep I've ever gotten camping. I've had the klymit static v, and a foam thermarest. This thing is pretty big and not heavy but not light. Had it strapped to my Ibex 450 for the the entire week riding the lower half of the MABDR. I use 2 rok straps and it never moved. Absolutely love this thing. Both of my riding buddies were on blow up mats one Nemo and one thermarest. Both were cold and not sleeping well the whole trip. I'm a stomach and side sleeper.

Try the Klymit Static V. My family has used it for years and years. Packs up small, and the bag it comes in very uniquely becomes the pump to fill it. No complaints.
