After decades of family-style camping with 8-person tents and huge queen-sized air mattresses, I recently decided to downsize for solo bikepacking trips. After doing the normal thing and "researching" by watching 78 different YT videos of other people testing sleeping pads, I took the info and picked the Klymit Insulated Static-V Luxe extra-wide sleeping pad based on what my needs were: - 6' tall male @ 240lbs - primarily a side sleeper - packable size but weight was not a primary driver - some semblance of insulation due to camping in 3 seasons in midwest US - compatible with sleeping quilts The 30" width makes it more comfortable for how I sleep, rolling side-to-side frequently all night. I found that the V shapes tended to help suspend the points of contact on my body better than others I tried at sporting goods stores recently. The insulation capabilities make it comfortable when used with my new UGQ quilt and straps. The weight of this pad is a bit more than others in its class, but since I'm packing on a bicycle, weight is not a huge concern to me. Packable size is, though, and this is a little large but not too bad. It fits nicely in one side of my pannier bags. Blowing the pad up by mouth may be too much for some, as it's certainly large. I used a small pump to blow it up; the flip-style valve was kind of difficult to get the pump nozzle to fit to, but it wasn't too bad, and filled up quickly. For the record I have a Flextailgear MP2 Pro pump/lamp. I used the rubber nozzle included with the pump. I have a UGQ quilt; if you don't know what a sleeping quilt is, it's not a blanket made of scraps by artisans. It's basically a down-filled sleeping bag, but it primarily has the back cut out. It's made to be paired with a good insulated sleeping pad to give the sleeper the warmth they need without the extra weight of a full bag. As well, many sleeping quilts are made to be opened fully (like a blanket), and they lay around the sleeper loosely compared to a mummy bag. This pad being wider than most, you will want to make certain your quilt will fit it well. My bag was custom made wide (approx 50" W flat), so it fits well when I'm in it (though a bit tightly if I spread it from edge to edge of the pad instead of to my body). I just used the pad for the first time in temps colder than 50F this weekend; two nights ago the low was 39F, and last night it was 46F and humid. Both nights the insulation in the pad was adequate for comfortable warmth. Coupled with a Klymit Luxe pillow (but also wearing a wool Buff) I slept very well; temps were not an issue for me. Klymit says that normal down sleeping bags will pack into the deep troughs and help to insulate more, but I think that's not likely, as the material of a bag will stretch tight when a body lays on it, and the tight material will tend to span the grooves/troughs. That said, if you're a quilt sleeper, this isn't even an option for you, unless you sleep on additional covers like a wool blanket. I have not needed to try this yet; my Meriwool base layers were more than enough to keep warm on the pad. Is this the perfect pad for everyone? No. Should you try it? Maybe, depending on if the limitations will affect how YOU sleep or pack. For me, it was a great match so far, and I look forward to sleeping many more hours on this pad over the coming years.
