"While this is my first self inflating pad, I'm not new to the pad game. When the pad arrived I could barely contain my excitement as I ripped open the box and glimpsed a blue nylon bag containing my new pad. After unrolling and unfolding the pad, I opened the fill valve to listen to that sweet, sweet hiss of air inflating my new pad."
"It inflates and deflates pretty easily, and it is compact enough that it can be put in a pack but it is not designed for backpacking. This pad I feel added an extra 5 degrees to my comfort range and I look forward to spending a lot more time outdoors now that I have a sleeping system I really enjoy."
"Hammock or on a got, 5 stars. Ground... 2."
"As with other TNH Oudoors products, the valve is constructed to make inflating and deflating a breeze."
"I'm having to consider shedding 10lbs, tent at 5, this at 2.6 puts me 4lbs over where I want to be."
"Husband used for 2 weeks to sleep on floor due to bad back and unable to get into bed."
"Very lightweight and comfy."

If you are driving in to a campground, need something for that unexpected house guest, or are sleeping on a floor in your church with a bunch of high schoolers for a weekend, then you can't go wrong with this sleeping pad."
"It worked perfectly and was super comfortable (although we kind of cheated and had some carpet in our yurt underneath our pads)."
"Worked great once I read the instructions."
"After we set up tent, I left the cap on this pad open to inflate while we readied our dinner."
"This really does self inflate."
"On my first use of this, the fabric tie ripped off -- don't pull them too tightly!"
"Excellent product I would buy it again, and recommend it to anyone who's looking for something like this especially for this price. Works exactly like it should be not much to say about it!"
"This pad makes you feel like your sleeping on an actual mattress."

I've recently become frustrated with my pads as I'm a side sleeper and they simply didn't provide the level of comfort and weight balance that I desired. In my quest for comfort and light weight, I considered several new pads from therm-a-rest and Big Agnes. I used it several times this spring in 40-70 degree nights and it completely insulated me from the ground. My real concern is long term durability of a valve that protrudes at a 90 degree angle from the pad. Even if the valve proves the weak link after a few years, I'm willing to take a chance at the price. I highly recommend the Klymit Insulated Static V. ****UPDATE 1/4/2016****. I continue to enjoy all aspects of this sleeping pad. My original pad purchased several years ago shows no signs of wear. I've used these pads tent camping, in an ENO hammock, and when vacationing where there is a shortage of beds. The price has increased slightly over the years, but I still believe it to be a great value and worth the cost."
"I've started doing more camping over the past several years, and initially purchased a self-inflating sleeping pad that inflates to about 3/4" and serves to put a little insulating space between the ground and my body, but when I began looking into lightweight backpacking, I needed a different solution both for size and weight. I had no intention to go mattress surfing while camping, but with this pad it seems unavoidable, and when I wake up while using this sleeping pad I usually find myself having to shift it back to my desired position in the tent."
"Over the moon in love with this sleeping pad."
"It folds up fairly easy as well but you need to go a little slow to push the air out of all those little compartments."
