This is a very well designed and made sleeping pad, incredibly lightweight and super easy to inflate. I can get it fully inflated with a maximum twelve blows or puffs, there is no need for a pump. I'm a big guy at over six feet tall weighing 95kg, and I'm a side sleeper as well and the V-Chambers design of this pad giving a height of 6cm's when fully inflated provides a very comfortable ammount of loft and support for my big frame while lying on my back or side. I also like the side rails design feature that helps keep you centered on the pad while sleeping, or in my case while I toss and turn in my sleep. It is a very quiet sleeping pad and does not have the dreaded crinkle noise that other insulated sleeping pads can have. This is another feature I like very much. I have found by folding it twice length ways before rolling it up it actually rolls up to fit inside the carry bag about two inches shorter than the bag which is another small bonus. One thing I question is Klymit's claim that is has an ' R ' value of 4.4. Having done some research before I purchased this pad there are some very good reviewers on Youtube channels who explain that Klymit have their own rating system on ' R ' values that does not follow what is widely accepted as an industry standard. I still went ahead and purchased this pad because my priorities were the size and weight factors, as well as how easy it is to inflate and the comfort factor. Now that I have one I would have to agree with other reviewers in saying I very much doubt it's ' R ' value is 4.4. The smart thing to do is to use a lightweight closed-cell foam sleeping pad underneath the Klymit pad. I use a Therma-a-Rest RidgeRest Classic which is virtually indestructable and gives excellent protection from sticks and branches or rocks in wild terrain, and it also has an ' R ' value of 2.6. It also helps keep you off the cold ground in Winter or in cold climate situations and provide a much better nights sleep. Even one of the cheap closed-cell foam yoga mats you can get from BCF would be great for this purpose. Over all I'm extremely happy with this pad and can highly recommend it.Read full review
