What you get with the Klymit Static V Mat is a very comfortable full length mat at a pretty low weight, a great size when packed and at a good price.

Klymit says

The original V-Chambered air pad that changed the way people Sleep Outside™. The Static V™ is the world’s first lightweight, packable air pad that incorporates body-mapping chambers for ultimate comfort. The exclusive V-Chamber design conforms to the shape of your body while maintaining ample, lofted air pockets. The result: side, back, and stomach sleepers can all rest comfortably on a generous bed of air.

Our Verdict

The Klymit Static V is a lightweight camping pad using body mapping technology at an entry level price.  It features the  v-chamber design which limits air movement and heat loss while offering a uniquely ergonomic body map which is optimzed for performance and comfort.

While inflating in approximately 10-15 breaths it will save you time and energy wherever you are. Like all of the other Klymit camping pads it features an easy-to-use push valve allows for quick inflation and deflation.

This mat is surprisingly comfortable and great for summer camping, but take note of the R-Value as you do feel the cold through it when the temperatures drop.

ASTM R-Value:

From 2020, there is a new industry standard for measuring the R-value (level of insulation) of sleeping mats – ASTM F3340-18. This new standard is the sleeping mat equivalent to the EN rating for sleeping bags.

You can now directly compare the R-value of mats rated using the ASTM F3340-18 with confidence that is a fair and accurate comparison between mats. In simple terms, the higher the R-value, the warmer the mat.

In general terms, an R-value below 2.0 is for summer use, 2.0 to 4.0 is for cooler 3 season use and 4.0+ is for winter temperatures. This will be also be dependent on your sleeping bag, how cold you sleep etc. Please contact our customer service team if you need advice on choosing the right mat for your activity.
