This is the Static V inflatable sleeping pad; an excellent backpacking option that effectively
balances weight, packed size and comfort and we’ll take a look at some of the specifics
here, again the Klymit Static V.
At a first glance there might not be any stand out features to the Static V other than its
compact size but when I inflate this pad you’ll see the “V” shaped baffling that makes
it stand out from many of the other inflatable pads that are available.
Inflation of the Static V pad takes about 10 breaths and compared to a lot of inflatable
pads on the market place, that’s not much.
The “V” shaped baffling is now evident and the shaping limits airflow and traps the
heat of your body so it makes this pad warmer than comparative, un-insulated, inflatable
sleeping pads.
The shaping on the inside area and also these smaller horizontal baffles at the sides, kind
of help to keep you in place on the pad.
Again, makes it a really comfortable pad throughout your night of sleep.
The full dimensions of the Static V are 23 inches wide, 72 inches in length and 2.5 inches
of thickness and that is at a weight of just 20 ounces for the pad.
A really sturdy face fabric here of 75D poly and all of those factors, again, go into making
this a really nice value of a pad for 3-season backpacking.
