" ... Extremely comfortable even when sleeping on granite rock! ... "
" ... Helps support those sensitive pressure points. ... "
" ... Very comfortable no matter sleeping in back, side or face down. ... "
" ... Very easy to set up, comfortable and packs down well. ... "
" ... Not only does the entire deflated pad fit in the palm of your hand, it's just as comfortable as big name brands. ... "
" ... Great comfortable pad that inflates quickly with about ten breaths, compacts down very small and lightweight. ... "
" ... And, as long as I laid in my back, evenly distributing my weight throughout the pad, I was very comfortable. ... my partner, however was quite comfy. ... "
" ... But if weight doesn't matter I do prefer the slightly better comfort from mt thermarest. ... "

" ... The X-Lite certainly packs smaller and is lighter but I have transitioned from a back sleeper to a side sleeper and the Static V is definitely more comfortable for side sleeping. ... but what I'm doing is taking the extra length is putting it on top of my backpack as a pillow or folding the extra over as a pillow but I'm assuming that using the backpack under the extra portion is better for the mat. ... "
" ... Stores very small and is fairly comfy in use. ... Great for lite travel. ... "
" ... Pretty narrow but still great and super compact ... "
" ... I’m 6ft, 190lbs, and I had plenty of length, though I will say, if you are much bigger, you may feel like the pad is too narrow. ... It’s not much wider than a body’s width, which really is enough ans keeps it light and packable. ... "
" ... This is fantastic for car camping, and ok for backpacking. ... It packs up small. ... "
" ... This is one item that will always find it way into my backpack! ... "
" ... It fold up nicely for travel also. ... "
" ... Very compact for backpacking! ... "

" ... I took this on a 10 day trip to Italy and slept well every night. ... "
" ... Quite comfortable for camping, a good upgrade from cheap foam mattress for the price! ... "
" ... Bought last minute before a 6 day camping trip and was so great. ... "
" ... ** UPDATE ** Just returned from first camping trip and still love the Klymit. ... "
" ... Purchased for backpacking in Wyoming, love this pad, on last trip I slept right on the pad and was using sleeping bag as blanket (warm night) I was very comfortable! ... Will be buying another for my son on his first trip! ... "
" ... Overall, it's been an excellent bag for me in all of my excursions and camping. ... "
" ... Best camping pads I’ve ever slept on. ... "
" ... This mat held up for my 5 month trip on a wide variety of ground from Southern California to Northern Washington. ... However for my trip and use this worked awesome and gave me solid rest the entirety of my 5 months on trail. ... "

" ... As far as camping bedding is concerned, this is a must have if a good nights sleep is important to you. ... "
" ... I often sleep on my side, and despite it being relatively thin, this sleeping pad allows that with minimal discomfort. ... "
" ... Side sleep was better than back sleeping. ... "
" ... Even able to sleep on my side without touching the ground. ... "
" ... I think this will make an excellent addition to any backpackingor BOB sleep system. ... "
" ... Great night sleep ... "
" ... I side-sleep, and it did the trick. ... "
" ... It has more support than other pads so you can have a better nights sleep, unlike others that are as hard as the ground. ... "

" ... I'm guessing all my extra weight pushed the air from my upper half to my hips and provided more cushion. ... "
" ... No leaks, though as most air mats do, the material stretches over time and you'll have to top it off with an extra breath after a couple days. ... I used it as my only pad for the first 2.5 weeks then got a thermarest foam mat to layer under it. ... "
" ... The design does seem to insulate you from the ground a little better than some other inflatable pads. ... "
" ... These seem sturdy enough, but one of them lost some air overnight. ... "
" ... I've used the expensive mats, foam mats (junk), insulated mats. ... "
" ... Its feels very tough and has proven to be so in my use. ... "
" ... Compaired to flat blow up mats your actually off the ground, in other words you don’t have to worry about say knee caps poking the ground through the pad. ... "
" ... It is flexible enough to conform to the contours of the chair, even while fully inflated. ... "

" ... Fits my husband who is very tall (6 foot 6) and I haven't had any complaints about the comfort. ... "
" ... solid design that holds air and even comes with a patch kit in case for some reason the matt gets punctured. ... "
" ... Packed the SUV on the Wednesday but still needed to secure loose items. ... I didn't have time to go up to the attic and grab my assortment of Therm-A-Rests for them and I would have had to roll and stuff them to transport. ... "
" ... Folds up easy and fits in the bag! ... "
" ... Easily fits back into the carrying case. ... "
" ... The shape of the pad helps you stay on it easier, it's almost like it has rails. ... On a trip in the Grand Canyon last April I put a hole in it and it repaired easily with just plain super glue. ... "
" ... The compact size of the pad allowed them to fit in the side pockets of our backpacks. ... "

" ... And to top it off, I missed the return deadline by a couple days. ... "

" ... The return cut off date was September 23rd and he did not have cell service so now we are stuck with it. ... "
" ... Being that I live in South America, the 30 days return window had almost passed when I received them, so I wasn't able to send the one that doesn't work back at all. ... "
