thx so much for this video! I was just in the market to buy a sleeping mat for a friend's xmas gift and was debating to get wirecutter's budget pick Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol. I might just go for this one!

So long as you're looking for more summer and early fall for the standardized r rating, updated description, but it was fine for my use

A viewer brought it to my attention: Klymit updated their R Rating (along with other companies) according to a 2019 ASTM industry standardized R rating and it's a 1.9 ASTM R Rating (they still note the old Klymit 4.4 R Rating). See description for more info! I purchased mine based on the 4.4, in the end it worked fine for my needs of 6C evening temperatures with my Thermarest Questar (did a review) and warm PJs.

My trust of this review immediately tanked when you brought up the R Value but didn't mentioned the shifty shit Klymit is pulling, they rated themselves 4.4 but according to the ASTM it's only a 1.9. That is a gigantic difference and could lead to real harm.

I'm not an outdoor pro, just a person who bought it and liked it and is sharing their experience cuz I couldn't find other reviews. While we're on that topic, Care to explain further for other viewers? What shifty klymit thing they're pulling? Specs aside, my experience still holds: it fit fine for my purposes in 6C weather, my bottom was never cold. Wouldn't all of the sleeping pads suffer from the same problem? 🤷♀️

@Jess Cuz Klymit has the correct rating written on their website as well as their Amazon page for it, however they have it contrasting with their R Value which is displayed beside it and much more prominently everywhere else. They also have a separated page discussing the ASTM values seemingly downplaying their worth. That ASTM rating is what the collective of sleeping mat makers agreed upon as a consistent set of testing to reduce confusion and produce accurate marketing, when someone's own rating is so drastically different its borderline false advertising. The point of consuming a review is to learn whether or not a product is suitable to your needs. Those in need of a mat capable of handling sub zero temperatures would look to a rating of 4.4 as potentially viable, while they might suffer a cold injury as a result of its actual 1.9 rating. The information was available and you're morally obligated as the reviewer to not mislead, especially when it could result in harm.

@@pakman184 well thanks for the info. There is a way to be helpful and give information without attacking someone. I am not trying to mislead people, you're definitely taking that frustration on the wrong person. I am not a professional reviewer, I don't do this for a living; a little Intense... It was missed and confusing, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Info has been corrected via description. And my needs in fall camping worked great. I've read some reviews mention sub zero with this and were happy. I personally wouldn't, nor would I camp in dead or winter. FYI this is straight off their site: "All Klymit insulated sleeping pads are recommended for four-season camping." + lots of reviews mentioning sub zero Temps and felt fine with it. Every person is different at the end of the day.

I'm sure you already know there are going to be a few people who are going to complain. About your video and the Klymit Static-V Insulated sleeping pad. That being said, there are quite a few KZitem videos on the Klymit brand of sleeping pads including this particular one. Some of those KZitem videos where people are reviewing the Klymit Static-V Insulated sleeping pad. Actually complain about the V shape being a very bad design. I have both the Klymit regular Static-V and the Insulated ones. My only issue with my Klymit brand Static-V sleeping pads is, that I recently bought a Big Anges sleeping bag. That has the bottom part of it without any down fill, because according to Big Anges. You don't need a sleeping bag with any type of insulation on the bottom. Because that is what a good R Value sleeping pad is for. So, in order for me to use my Big Anges sleeping bag. It has the ability to slide a sleeping pad underneath it. With a pocket type design so that the sleeping pad doesn't move and you don't fall off of it. Guess what I am getting at is, I do use the Klymit brand Static-V sleeping pads. But I also use one of those foldable type sleeping mats, that have a reflective side. Underneath my sleeping setup, and if it really gets cold I'll put a sleeping bag liner in my sleeping bag.
