Klymit Insulated Static V Sleeping Pad

Product Information

These baffles are unique to Klymit. Klymit created and uses Body Mapping Technology, which puts pressure in key places for sleep comfort. More on sleeping pad baffle types in our Guide. Klymit's Static V insulated sleeping mat is mid weight rather then ultralight, but for the extra weight you get a mat with a robust face fabric, a really decent R-Value and quite a comfortable nights sleep. At 6cm deep it offers a good level of comfort, especially compared to self inflating models.

Klymit's Static V Insulated sleeping mat uses synthetic insulation to deliver a warm sleeping mat with optimised baffle pattern for comfort. The Static V features a 75-denier face fabric, which feels quite tough and durable. We used this pad a lot throughout our test period, and we weren’t particularly delicate with it. Through a 2-week glacier trip in Alaska, numerous desert nights, and multiple car camping trips, we never experienced any punctures, holes, or tears. We anticipate that this pad would withstand several seasons of hard use. Ease of Use I can see how some sleepers wouldn’t like the V-shape or need time to get used to it, but both my boyfriend and I felt comfortable and stable on this pad. What is more, I found the Static V2 is much quieter than my other pad! The Klymit Static V2 is one of the best-valued sleeping pads on the market. For one, it’s the most comfortable sleeping pad I’ve used, providing plenty of cushion and stability.

Performance Comparison

Both myself (a cold sleeper and 5’6” woman), and my boyfriend (a hot sleeper and 6′ male) tested the Klymit sleeping pad.

For R-rating, the Xlite rating is fine for me thus far. I only want to match it. Price factors in too. Klymit is making its mark in the world of sleeping pads because of their ultralight set up and innovation. Their patented body mapping technology really sets them apart when it comes to comfortable, light sleeping pads. The Klymit Insulated Static V is three inches wider than your standard sleeping pad. This gives you more room for a better sleep. Your elbows might not fall off! I just spent 60+ days in a row sleeping on the insulated static v. I am thoroughly convinced that there isn't a better pad for the money. I was comfortable and warm every night, though temps never got lower than 30ish.

Klymit’s sleeping pads are warrantied for life against manufacturing defects and workmanship issues. However, sleeping pad are notorious for being difficult to return and replace because of user error, popping, etc. Klymit has a great reputation, so if you think your pad is faulty, let them know. When all is said and done, you’re not buying this pad for winter camping, you are buying it because it’s a comfortable, lightweight summer sleeping pad. Score: 2.5/5 Comfort/Stability I liked that the pad had a tendency to move "with" me; it's got some vertical and horizontal stretch to it once it's inflated so even when I tossed and turned, it stayed underneath me. comparing a wide Xlite w/ uninsulated V — design of the V appealed more but just too low an R value Side Rails: Integrated into the patterning and construction, side rails help provides a secure, comfortable sleep by centering you on the pad and inhibiting air movement while tossing and turning.

Secondly, this is a lightweight pad, as I’ve already stressed, and it is non-insulated and designed for summer. Its low R-value at 1.3 means this is not for high altitudes or mountaineers. That said, I used this pad at 8,500 feet on a 40-degree night without any insulation and just my sleeping bag for warmth. It was completely fine at this temperature. I already have a Thermarest Trail Lite, which has an R value of 3.4. I find it comfortable, but it's a bit big at about 5L of space used. Your breath inflates this pad. That makes it lighter, but it takes effort to set up at the end of the day. More on the different sleeping pad types in our Guide. Important Note:To avoid popping or deflating your pad, it’s important to adjust the air volume depending on the outside temps. If it’s cold, the air in your mattress will compress, and when it’s warm, it’ll inflate. Don’t blow it up all the way if it’s warm out or it will pop! Overall, I absolutely love this pad. It’s extremely lightweight without sacrificing luxury and comfort.R-Value is the measurement used to gage a sleeping pad’s ability to insulate. The higher the R-value, the warmer the sleeping pad will be, as this what measures its capacity to “resist” (hence the “R”) heat flow. As a self-inflating pad user, I’m fond of the whole self-inflation thing. You open the valve, wait 30 minutes, and your mat is almost completely blown up for you. (Yes, you still have to put in the final few breaths for firmness.) Anti Microbial Laminate: Permeates the inside laminate to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, including fungus and bacteria, that can cause odors and material damage. Beyond comfort, the Klymit Insulated Static V Sleeping Pad thoroughly surprised me with its ease of use. This is an insulated pad with a relatively high R-Value. Above 4 is enough for all 4 seasons. More on R-Value and Temperature rating in our Guide.

Příprava karimatky Klymit Insulated Static V před ulehnutím nezabere mnoho času. K dosažení optimální výšky a tvrdosti stačí pouze 10 až 15 nádechů. Bajonetový uzávěr ventilu zabraňuje úniku vzduchu během noci, plně otevřený ventil zase umožní velmi rychlé vyfouknutí matrace při balení. Součástí dodávky je nylonové přepravní pouzdro a sada pro nouzové opravy. Nejsem převalovač, ale ti kdo jsou, před převalením z karimatky(a může to být třeba i z lavice) zapadnou do takové mezery na okraji karimatky a tak si můžou uvedomit, že by se měli vrátit.

On my first night on the Static V2, I felt that I slept much more comfortable thanks to the body mapping. The V-shape cradles your body, so you don’t slip off your pad or twist your sleeping bag around in the middle of the night. From 2020, there is a new industry standard for measuring the R-value (level of insulation) of sleeping mats – ASTM F3340-18. This new standard is the sleeping mat equivalent to the EN rating for sleeping bags. You have to inflate this air pad with your breath, but it doesn’t take as many breaths as other pads. This is due to the V-shaped baffles. You can now directly compare the R-value of mats rated using the ASTM F3340-18 with confidence that is a fair and accurate comparison between mats. In simple terms, the higher the R-value, the warmer the mat. Doporučuji pod karimatku brát nějaký kus plachty, kvůli zašpinění i kvůli propíchutí. Na druhou stranu vyzkoušeno, víc než jedna vrstva středně silné plachty nemá smysl!
