Static V Series

I love my Klymit Static V insulated

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 upgraded and it was worth it. But the klymit served me well for a long time. Im just a restless side sleeper so nothing is perfect

Ahh ok then yea low or no R-value would be fine in those cases. Klymit also makes a good lightweight low R-value pad, it's what I used in Texas and worked quite well in warmer weather. Not as heavy or thick as the one you linked, but much lighter and packs down smaller. Great if you're backpacking but there are better options if car camping imo. Exped Ultra 1R is also a good pad, the more insulated 3 and 5 are also popular for colder temps. I've used the Dura versions which are a heavier/more insulated version and it was comfortable. I've also heard good things about Nemo Tensor but have no experience with it.

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.

Yes it's a matter of seeing what works for you. Personally - I am a side and stomach sleeper. Mummy type bags and narrow tiny pads suck. I used to use a Nemo bag with a sleeve to receive a Klymit V. This worked ok, but not great at all. I finally got fed up and too the extra weight. I now use a Big Agnes Rapide double wide and a Kelty Galactic down rectangular bag. Went on a trip last week and it was the best camping sleep I ever had.

Yup. I went from a yoga mat in my 20s to a 1” pad to a 2.5” pad and now that hit 40 I splurged for the exped mat.  For backpacking I still use the klymit
