Klymit

Static V2 Sleeping Pad

It works

Use this during summer canoe camping trips for a few nights at a time. I like that it compresses down and rolls up nicely. Obviously it’s not the thickest so site selection is still key. Like most air pads it’s prone to failure but has held up so fair.

Easy to inflate and comfortable. Lightweight and small. Great for temperate climates and summer camping.

Great for medium use

I love the size and weight. It rolls up to a nice little burrito-sized pouch and is easily tossed in a backpack. Inflates easy, but the valve tends to lose air when trying to close it up. I'm on my second one now, they typically last a couple years with frequent use.

Great

Solid pad that’s durable and works well on any surface, even concrete

These pads are quick to blow up and easy to roll up and transport. I also use it as extra padding for a cot.

Small but mighty

Bought this for a Colorado elk hunting trip and used it on top of a cot. The pad added an extra layer of insulation on top of the cot surface to protect against the cold airflow beneath. The only drawback was that it tended to move around a bit between the sleeping bag and cot but wasn’t terrible. Looking forward to making use of its small packed size on an upcoming backpacking trip.

6 years and going strong

I am in my sixth summer with this sleeping pad so I figured why not write a review. When I decided to get into backpacking, I did a lot of research on sleeping pads that were comfortable, lightweight, durable, and affordable. I picked out this one. Is it the most comfortable pad in the world? I don't know, I can only compare it to a CCF pad that I have, but I can say it is more comfortable than the CCF. I use it about 7-12 times per year, both for car camping and backpacking. I'm a woman and about 115 lbs. When you sit up on it, you feel it bottoming out, but when you lay down, your weight is distributed and it's comfortable. I can often sleep a full 8 hours and wake up without any significant pain. At home, I'm a side sleeper, but while camping I try to sleep more on my back. If I wake up on my side, I would say there's no pain in my hips, but if anything I can feel some temporary soreness in my shoulder. Tip: you should inflate it and then a few hours later top it off with more air. Not because it loses air, but because the warm air will lose volume as it cools. I will also say it takes way more breaths to inflate than the advertised 10-15. If I know it will be cold (say below 50F), I will pair this with my CCF pad for insulation from the cold ground. I continue to recommend Klymit to people who want something affordable but still high quality!

Great for side sleeper

Used this for a 2 week bikepacking trip. Saved a bunch of weight compared to my old pad and was comfy! Recently was a bit chilly on a colder night camping but perfect for summer.
