Klymit Static V Luxe sleeping pad!!

[Ramseybella]

Just received my new Klymit Static V Luxe sleeping pad.
All I have to say is this may be the best thing i bought for camping since I bought my Tenere.
Its huge its totally comfortable for my 6'3" 300+ lb frame on my back on my side and laying on my stomach under $100.00 and the best part packs down less than the size of a half gallon of Milk. ::015::
Have not used it in the field yet just my living room floor, it will fit in my Eureka one person USMC tent wall to wall and fit in my tank bag.

Very nice and packs down small.

Can't wait to try it this year also am anticipating the insulated model although they say this model retains it's heat.
I have my Thermarest luxury map still for when its cold but this one is wider.
I like that it packs small takes no time to deflate and roll up and just testing it on a solid tile floor no hot spot issues whatsoever until you apply pressure in a single spot like kneeling or sitting on it.
Once you distribute your full body across it that is not an issue, amazing design.
I like keeping my stuff contained in my duffel from the elements while riding without strapping to much stuff down all around on the bike makes loading fast, this is another step forward.
Once it proves itself the Thermarest mats I have will be sold!!
But I may keep the Luxury Map if this gets a blow out or local camping trips in the truck it seems to be made with some heavy material.

I'd be interested in picking up a insulated version for the old lady. I've an insulated Neo-Air, which I enjoy greatly, but I could buy two of these for one Neo mattress. Setting up two of these side by side in a two person tent (typical width of 48-56") could be no-go unless the baffles flex up the side of the tent wall.

How pliable are the side baffles?

Klymit's 10 deg.F synthetic sleeping bag looks interesting. Packs down into a small package.

Had a chance to try this out this weekend in Alamogordo.
I like it it is a bit slippery on the tent floor of my two person SD nightwatch, the pad being so light when I turned around at night any slight pitch of your tent it will slide, no issue with sliding off the top with the sleeping bag.
One person tent will be no issue.
Air fill? less is best.
Side baffle flex is still a little firm due to the design but can be done.
Felt a little cool at night temps 40's waiting on the insulated V Luxe model to come out and use this one in summer.
