Klymit Insulated Static V2

With an R-value of 4.2, this pad is designed for four-season use, meaning it provides enough insulation for cold-weather backpacking. It is a solid choice for late autumn or early spring trips, though extreme sub-zero expeditions might require a higher R-value pad.

The V-shaped chambers are engineered to limit air movement, which helps keep the insulation evenly distributed beneath you. This design provides consistent support and prevents the 'bouncing' sensation often found in traditional horizontal-baffle sleeping pads.

No, the Insulated Static V2 requires manual inflation. You will need to blow it up by mouth, which typically takes 10 to 15 breaths.

The pad features integrated side rails that act as a subtle cradle to keep you centered. This design helps prevent you from sliding off the edges during the night, even if you are an active sleeper.

The deep welds allow your sleeping bag's insulation to loft fully into the spaces between the air chambers. By preventing your sleeping bag from being compressed flat against the ground, the pad helps maintain the thermal efficiency of your sleep system.

At 23 inches wide, it offers a standard footprint for backpacking pads. While it provides enough room for most, side sleepers who prefer extra width for their arms might find it slightly snug compared to wider, rectangular options.
