A few extra inches in length would be great for us 6+ footers.

Depends on the temps you are looking at. If >40 then the nemo tango duo is a perfect fit - be sure to NOT get the slipcover as that is designed to couple 2 single pads.

Yeah but they are stupid expensive compared to here on massdrop. Im specifically hoping massdrop do a colab on a wider version of this pad. Obviously a larger one would be slightly heavier... Unless you have lost all your braincells

Sorry. I meant it is made of heavier materials, thicker nylon. It is heavier per square inch than the "Ultralight" version, which uses thinner materials to save on weight, but makes it less durable. You can find cheaper versions on Klymits ebay store. They routinely have factory refurbished versions of their pads for big discounts. Here is the double V non-insulated for $86 https://www.ebay.com/itm/KLYMIT-Double-V-Two-person-Camping-Sleeping-Pad-FACTORY-REFURBISHED/322437019980?hash=item4b12be794c:g:Hs0AAOSwT-pb41Rd:sc:USPSPriority!22033!US!-1:rk:9:pf:0 I do not currently see the insulated version on ebay, but before I decided to go with the UL version I was interested in the Double V insulated refurbished. I messaged them on ebay and they responded quickly saying they had a refurbished in stock (though it was rare) and could list it if I was interested. I suspect it would be about $100.

Warning: original and replacement mattress included patch material but no glue. It is possible no one has gotten glue? You're out of luck if you need to patch this? Nor were any patching instructions included.

It's a great mattress though. I'm still not sure how durable it is.

Throw the patch kit away and pick up a small sheet of tenacious tape. Self adhesive! I have a patch still on my Therm-a-rest from 2017

I would get it if there was a 'Wide' option, 50 inches across. I get that it's UL, but 20 inches each person is just too little, IMO.

They do make a wider option available on their website (and refurbished versions cheap on ebay) that is 47" wide.

The Amazon is listed as being heavier (40.5 oz). May not matter depending on how you want to use it, but the lighter version here seems worthwhile to me.

I bought this over the summer as part off an earlier drop. Love the size, thickness, overall comfort. The stuff sack pump adds weight, but you'll want to use it. Keeps breath moisture and nasties out of your pad innards. i've been using a similar stuff sack/pump for my Big Agnes for years and love it. Now for the down side: After just a few uses, my pad developed a slow leak. Slow meaning, butt on the cold ground at 4am. Doing a bathtub test with a pad this size was difficult to say the least, but it seems that it might be a leak around the "deflate" valve. I've submitted a request for warranty coverage or repair to Klymit. 4 days and I'm still waiting for a reply. (other companies I deal with get back to me within 48 or less - Big Agness, Zpacks, Enlightened Equip). The size is great for a low mileage 2 person trip. I really wish I had one that functioned properly.

Nov 26, 2018

I want to update my post. Klymit got back to me in about 5 days, apologized for any problems and asked me to ship the pad to them for repair or replacement. I've shipped it and will let folks know how it all works out. Maybe I just got a bad pad.

Great product! It was easy to setup and pretty self explanatory for using the stuff sack as a pump. Nice and lightweight for when my wife and I go backpacking with the tent. I also noticed there was some patches included too. I can't wait to use it!

Great products as long as you have zero issues, as they have ZERO customer service. I've been trying to get a hold of a human being for over a month & half and still waiting on a refund from a return that was delivered to them 4 weeks ago! So sad, as I thought this company had a lot of potential. :(

Can we get more information on the "Stuff sack dry bag / pump sack" and how it works?

The stuff sack has a plastic/rubber bit that fits on the inflate valve, and you roll down the top of the bag to inflate the pad. It’s not really a dry bag, as it’s got a hole in the bottom.

Is it ok to use it with a quilt or blanket ? I mean there will be no down in the hole and maybe cold point

Have used in warm temps (+ 5 deg) and had no problems. Swap to sleeping bag for anything colder.

Hi everyone, We’re checking in with an update on the Massdrop x Klymit Ultralight Double Sleeping Pad. We’re glad to announce that they have arrived at our warehouse and are shipping out as we speak. Thank you again for your patience with this drop. We look forward to you receiving your sleeping pad soon.

Weight on par With original specs? Comfort?

24.2oz for just the pad. Comfort seems good. You can feel the extra thickness vs the normal Klymit pads. Definitely pretty narrow for 2, but that's ultralight for ya.

If you're used to shorter pads to save weight can you shorten these like I've seen some people do to other pads? My gf is only 5'2 so I could cut off at least 10" without it bothering her

Really? Do they sew them back closed? It would void the lifetime guarentee I guess.

I think they use irons to seal them. I just wanted some confirmation that people have tried it on these

It would be awesome if you designed a quilted v sheet for the 2p version too.
P.s. How well does sexual intercouse work on this pad? Asking for a friend 😁

Just wanted to express my dissatisfaction with massdrop. Since it took so long between the start of the drop and shipping I have moved.
I got notified via FedEx that a label was created to my old address. FedEx actually used USPS so only the shipper massdrop can change where the product is being shipped. USPS didn't forward to my new address because it is sent via FedEx.
Contacted massdrop. Response was contact FedEx. Really bummed that I waited so long and now I am in the black hole of massdrop, FedEx and USPS.
Massdroo help!

Hi everyone,
We just received the latest update from Klymit on the Massdrop x Klymit Ultralight Double Sleeping Pad. The necessary revisions announced in our last update are taking longer than expected and, unfortunately, we’re now tracking for a late-September ship date. We apologize for the additional wait and want to thank you all for your patience in spite of the multiple delays.
We’ve worked with Klymit to add an additional credit for $30 to your account. This is in addition to the $15 credit from the initial delay. This credit will be automatically applied to the next drop you join. If you don’t want to wait the additional time you can cancel your order via the transactions page: https://www.massdrop.com/transactions
We’ll provide an update with the latest information in mid-September to keep you all in the loop. Again, our apologies for the additional delay and we’re working to get your sleeping pads to you as soon as we can.

Sep 9, 2018

I lied - it's $109.99 for the uninsulated, $129.99 for the insulated. My bad! Still, pretty good value as long as the specs line up and it's comfy.

I don’t love the spruce color, but this pad looks like a real solid option for me and my Son to cram into our Hornet at the end of the day. I’m hoping to hear some positive reviews when people get theirs.

Collaborations

Feb 6, 2018

Greetings Friends,
I'm super happy to announce our newest collaboration - the Ultralight Double Sleeping Pad. This builds on our success of Massdrop x Klymit pads with ultralight 20 denier fabric, non-slip treatment on part on the bottom fabric, and fast inflate/deflate valves. We've listened to our members who have made it clear that there is demand for a double-wide pad in this same style.
What's wrong with current options on the market?
Weight: Most double pads are meant for car camping and therefore are typically too heavy to take backpacking.
Size: Also, many existing double pads are too wide to fit into the most popular light and ultralight shelters.
Cost: Since most double pads are made for car camping, they tend to be of lower quality. The only truly ultralight pad, made by Exped, costs $300 - well out of the range of what most people will spend.

Our Ultralight Double prototype with my custom EE two-person quilt.
We wanted to address these issues and give you an option to cuddle with your best hiking partner. You no longer have to fiddle with straps to couple two pads together, leaving cold air gaps. You can now afford to get a pad that is both comfortable and light. We've been able to increase the thickness to 3.2" to help you achieve your best night of sleep. And this makes it a great fit for not just backpacking, but also cabin trips, car camping, and luxurious solo trips.

As for the size, this double pad is essentially double of our regular pad. However, it feels bigger because you're sharing the space with someone so you don't feel the edge effect as much. Yet, it's small enough to fit into a "solo" tent like the Tarptent Protrail. To illustrate, check at me and Yanbo (Mech Keys Product Manager) testing out an early prototype in our office. He's a buff dude with wide shoulders, and at 6'0" and 200 lbs, I'm no munchkin either. Yet here we are laying shoulder to shoulder with our elbows still on the pad. So, cuddling with your sweetie should be easy peasy for most folks.

Note that we lengthened the pad a bit from this earlier prototype
We've also heard you that for a pad like this, it would be ideal to have an air pump bag that is also a dry bag / stuff sack. We are working on one right now and will include it with every double pad. We do not have any photo-ready samples yet, though I can share the basic specs: 20d fabric, seam sealed with roll top, and about twice as wide as the current Klymit rapid air pump.
Happy to hear your thoughts on this! The drop starts Thursday morning and will run through all of February. Shipping will be early summer and we'll have a more specific date by Thursday.
-Danny

Could the inflate bag double as a pillow?

@DannyMilks Please please consider adding a strap system with this so we can turn this into a 2 person 'love seat' at basecamp (see the Sea to Summit Air Chair concept, I hope the concept is not patented or anything). The thing is that bringing two S2S Air Chairs with 2 pads was a lot lighter than bringing 2 separate camp chairs (even the lightest weight ones are 600gr). Having a double pad removed the possibility of turning the 2 sleeping pads into comfortable chairs through the air chair system. I think almost every UL buyer of a 2 person pad would also consider adding that to their kit.

Hi everyone, We have an update on the production status of the Massdrop x Klymit Ultralight Double Sleeping Pad. Klymit has informed us that during final quality control checks they uncovered an issue with the welding of the pad. The issue made it so the pad wouldn’t pass their rigorous lifecycle testing and high quality standards. Klymit is currently working on making some revisions to the molding, and testing to make sure these revisions meet and exceed their thresholds. As soon as the product comes off the line, it will be air shipped to our warehouse in New Jersey where it will then be shipped to members. We know this wait has been frustrating and we apologize greatly. We’re working with Klymit to determine an estimated ship date given these changes, and we’ll provide an update as soon as we have more information from their production team. Thank you all for your patience!
