Klymit Static V Sleeping Pad

I bought this child size mat for adult car camping because of the compact size. And that was a good choice! This PERFECTLY fits across the back seat of my Jeep Renegade and also, to my surprise, works well for the front seat too! Renegade does not have the most comfortable seats and this really takes the edge off. I fully inflated for the back seat and then deflated a little for front seat. This is compact enough you could even use it as a full seat cushion while driving and traveling. Being an air mat , using this in the front seat it’s going to conform to your body perfectly and is the right size whether a man or woman. Wow! If you got a long drive ahead of you this is recommended above any of those “drivers seat cushions.” This is so comfy and versatile. I’m 5’1 so I can nap in the back seat. That may be difficult for a man but you could use this in conjunction with one of those back seat hammocks too. The thing is this is compact (yet not too narrow) and won’t have a bulky awkward end that is too long for your seats. As a note, this type mat is very durable and I recommend over the inflatable “back seat” full mats that are of the quality of a typical air bed mattress that tends to puncture easily. This type Nat should hold up well even if you got a larger one or another brand. As for this brand, I like the fact it has different valves one for inflating one for deflating. That ensures easy and quick inflation and deflation. It took me two seconds (ok just a bit longer) to fully inflate this by my own wind power without a pump if any sort. I mean, it’s really easy. And the fact it also deflates so easily means you can put this away quick and taking up hardly any space. The compact size also makes it easy to maneuver it around in your car while inflated. As for how long it holds up I’ll update that in the future as this is day 1. Oh and hey I’m sure kids will like it too 🙂

Does what it should. A little challenging for heavier people but that’s why we hike. To get lighter. Easy to blow up. Took me 8 breaths. After it was adjusted air-wise it was very comfortable. Will he used mostly with a hammock. Longer mats are challenging with a hammock. This one fits great. So far so good.

I really like how small this packs up, light weight, and is still a very comfortable sleep.I wasn't happy that it is not self inflating, but found it does not take much to blow it up at all.I am using this product for bike packing. So, ideally in a sleep mat, I'm looking for; small pack size, light weight and comfort. Most mats only tick two of the three boxes. This mat ticks all three.

I haven't had it long enough to comment on whether it leaks or not, as commented in some of the reviews. I bought it to fit in the back seat of a vehicle on an overnight drive and it was PERFECT for that! The length was perfect for the seat and so much more comfortable than the seat with seatbelts poking in my side! Once there, I used it on the bed which meant a good nights sleep.

after about 40 nights, both inflate and deflate side,the two layers stick together got apart, started leaking, I'm traveling in Alaska, left me slept on the cold ground.
