Best praise vs top criticism for Klymit Static V
“Agree with the other commenter, MyLifeOutdoors is pretty clickbaity and while there's the occasional good video whether it's totally transparent or not, I take everything with a grain of salt with him. JustinOutdoors is honestly the most thorough and unbiased outdoor gear reviewer I've seen that produces exceptional content. CCF vs Inflatables though is gonna be a bit of a charged topic for some. I will always carry a CCF pad with an inflatable after my Tensor left me on the cold ground in my last two nights in a canyon, I was definitely warm enough but not comfortable and the actual comfort of the pad sucked. I'd hate to only have a CCF pad because my joints be hurting, too. It's also pretty economical to get say a CCF pad and a slightly lower R value inflatable that's still comfortable and combining them. My Tensor was $150 when I bought it with R4.2, and I have a $30 CCF pad from Walmart with advertised R value of 2, so for right around 2ib 4oz I have 6.2 r value and a lot of comfort/versatility and still spent less than $200. ULTRAlight? Probably not, but an Ether Light XT Extreme costs $260 and weighs 2ibs 5oz for 6.2R value so there's that. I've also used that same CCF pad with a Klymit Static V uninsulated, so a total R value of about 4 there and less than $100 spent and about 2 pounds of weight. Personally I'd get the nicest inflatable you can afford or would need, and add at least a 1/8 pad to it.”
“I suggest avoiding the Static V & getting a Nemo or Thermarest product instead. Either CCF or the UL pads. Gossamer Gear makes a 1/8th foam pad that pairs well with either as a sit pad / pad protector. Granite Gear is prolly going to be heavier than other options. REI Flash 55 goes on sale often.”
