Klymit’s famous for ingeniously designed ultralight sleeping pads. If you’re a ¾ or skeleton-frame pad gram-shaver, Klymit has you (and the ground) covered. Active Junky took to the Kokopelli Trail on the relatively lux Insulated Static V Pad and was sleep-stoked on that decision. Still compact, Static V packs down to water bottle size and inflates in an easy 10 breaths (if this sounds ridiculously quick, that’s because it is). Pair easy inflation with several inches of campground comfort and insulating warmth; Static V won major points from exhausted bikepacking testers. Since then, it’s supported car camping missions, fishing trips and backpacking adventures. “I’ve never slept better in the backcountry,” said one bikepacker. “But then again, I’m not used to 60-mile days with a fully-loaded bike.” When there’s never a dull moment, count free-ranging sheep with the Static V.
