Hi all,
I’m looking at the Klymit Static V or V2 (R 1.3) and the Klymit Static V lite (R 4.4). I’m not sure which one I should get because I’m not really familiar with R values. I will be doing some camping this Summer while in Europe for sure and I imagine it will be quite hot there so I’m sort of leaning towards the Static V, but I’m also thinking having a warmer pad would be more useful in the long run.
So my question is: Is a pad with a R value of 1.3 too low to be versatile?
I bought the V2 thinking I could use some thin CCF under it in cool weather. Used it last month when it was ~35* F and even with the CCF, I was cold. I could feel cold coming right through the pad. Just picked up an insulated static vlite and haven’t used it yet but I’m pretty sure it will be the perfect all around pad and it’s only 2 oz more. I say go with the insulated static vlite from the get go. Mine did come out a tad heavy at 20.1 oz vs the stated 19.6 oz. FWIW…
Thanks for the input! Just placed and order for the V Lite.
