Klymit Static V2 with ccf – temp

Well, for anyone who ever has the same question and happens upon this topic, this setup wasn’t quite warm enough for low 30’s. I wasn’t miserable but I did feel some cold coming through. For reference, this was in a CS UL2 tent with Polycro groundsheet and no snow on the ground, just damp grass.

@jturner140 – did you have the foam pad above or below the air pad? The consensus is that it’s warmer with the foam pad above the air pad, but more comfortable below the air pad when it’s warm enough.

The Static V2 is uninsulated, and to me that means it’s best use is summer in southern and eastern US where is stays above 60’F at night. Even in California, where I am, I use an insulated air pad because nighttime temps usually drop into the 40s-50s in most places that I backpack. The plus side of an uninsulated pad is that they are cheaper, lighter, and pack smaller.

@dannyMilks – I had the foam pad beneath the air pad. I got the V2 because I didn’t think would really do any cold weather hiking so I figured I would save the money over insulated but I went on the hike last weekend and loved hiking in the cooler weather so it looks like I’ll be selling the V2 and picking up the insulated v lite next time you guys have a drop on it. I’ll just use it year round since it’s only two ounces heavier anyways. FWIW, using my sitpad under the V2 wasn’t my intention when buying it, but it was the best solution I could conjure up when the cold weather hike became a possibility. Live and learn I suppose…
