Klymit Static V Long Sleeping Pad

The thing was cozy and I slept like a baby. The only 2 things were that it was a pain to pack in a hurry (at first), and that it was too big to fit into my issued bivy cover. The former issue was simply remedied by forgoing the stuff sack included and simply either throwing it in a bag, or wrapping it in 550 or elastic cord. The fitting issue wasn't the product's fault, as it is the "long" variant. I definitely plan to order a standard length one before the next field exercise; the thing made falling and staying asleep in weird sleeping spots easy. Word of warning, double check that the valve to let the air out is closed, before you try to start filling; it's common sense, you say, but it happens.

So far so good. I haven't used it in the cold yet but it's held up so far. Found my kid jumping on it and no leaks, so far it's sturdy. I like the width and thickness- I am a stomach and side sleeper. I do wish I bought a bag inflator or the usb pump. It's not fun to blow up but it's also not terrible. Packs up small as well.

This pad was very lightweight, yet durable for my backcountry hunting trip and made a huge difference in the sleep I got. It was very easy to setup and takedown.

I've yet to sleep on it outside. Laying on concrete and hardwood flooring, it seems pretty comfortable overall. Length is amazing. Inflation and deflation are both simple and fast (so easy and so fast, which is great because usually you are inflating this because you are tired). The packed size is unbelievably small when compared to my old 90's era sleeping pad, and this feels just as burly, although I have yet to test it to that degree. Ask me again in 30 years?

I'm 5'7 and my inflatable pillow usually won't fit on pads and results in my head being lower than desired unless I stack something underneath it. This pad is long enough to have the pillow and bag on it to keep me level.

I'm really happy with my purchase! I'm 5'4 and so I was hesitating in between the normal and long size simply because I prefered the color of the long one (green) than the normal one (gold/gray-ish), but I was scared that the long mat would be way too long. I've decided to choose the green even if I'm quite small and the mat really isn't as long as I thought it would be so i'm glad! Also, I barely touch the floor once it's filled up with air so I can't wait to see how comfy it will be when I'll go hinking this summer. Finaly, once rolled-up, the mat is approximately as big as a nalgene so it's a plus if you decide to buy this mat for trekking.
