Following the success of the Static V Ultra Light sleeping pad, we’re excited to announce our second collaboration with Klymit: the Massdrop x Klymit Ultralight V. It features the original’s 20d nylon fabric, 60 g/m2 insulation, and V-chamber design, plus a couple of notable updates Read More
Yes, I think it only takes 3-4 full breaths for the regular.
Edit: I should note that I am a male and weigh about 200 lbs so this could vary quite a bit.
kwiknikkWell, ridiculous is a strong word...I guess you'd think my body weight is ridiculous too, but it would follow that smaller people have smaller lungs. I'm also enumerating the breaths to a hard inflation.
kwiknikkIt's a sight better than the old "self"-inflating Therm-a-rest pads with the screw valve. The best thing about this Klymit pad, IMO, is the one-way flap inflation valve because every bit of breath you put in stays.
kwiknikkI guess it depends on how inflated you want it, or more so need it to be. I'm a fairly large person, so I need to make it well inflated to have it be comfortable. Also, the description doesn't mention that number of breaths, so I would be cautious to state 3-4 breaths myself.
I can guarantee you that whether you're comfortable with this pad in winter depends on your body, your gear combo, etc. I personally don't find this warm enough even in fall if I'm using a quilt. Contrary to what the ultralightists will tell you, having sleeping bag under you does help you stay warmer: only a very small portion of your bag is completely compressed indeed your body. I've augmented the warmth of this pad by laying a fleece throw or evazote pad on top of the air pad. In my mind, the air pad is for pressure-point comfort and the other insulation (bag, closed-cell foam pad) are for warmth. For the record, in my Therm-a-rest self-inflating days, it was still recommended to pair with a CCF pad in winter. The summary is that you have to try things out to figure out what works for you. If you have winter camping experience, you'll know how to test the limits; if you don't have that experience, you'll want to test this pad in less risky situations first.
