From one of my industry newsletters: http://www.outdoorsportswire.com/klymit-introduces-first-sleeping-pad-designed-for-hammocks Looks interesting and is priced "reasonably" Not sure it will give the same level of insulation as a good UQ. looks like cold hips with the gap. I will be interested to see user feedback. |

Interesting, but I had to chuckle at the "signature body mapping technology" bit. I was expecting 80's futuristic models to come out and display it with tron music in the background. It's just marketing, but it's funny.
I like things that can be used in different settings, because I'm cheap and have little space at my home to store stuff. We have this pad, and although I haven't used it for a hammock, it seems to have the same concept, albeit the "wings" are a little smaller. I do know that it's comfortable and has 3x the R-value. I might try sleeping on it in the back yard in a hammock to see if it works well. http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Sleeping-Pad-Womens-Reviews/REI-AirRail-1-5-Self-Inflating-Womens |

Sleeping on the long axis of the hammock...I wish they angled it a bit.

I like the innovative initiative, but it's a little heavy. My cut foam pad is only needed from neck to below my butt. The wings would be nice to just cover up on the shoulders and those with asymmetrical hammocks would have to test this out before investing.
Still, I applaud Klymit for not sitting idle. ROCK6 |

$139,
26oz R1.3 (or 1.6? It says both)  You could buy a 40deg syn underquilt and beat those specs while also being more comfortable. The only advantage this offers is if you have to sleep on the ground. |

There is a "Costco Roadshow" featuring that brand happening right now here in my hometown. I was able to check out the pads they have and I'm very impressed after actually laying down on one plus they are super light weight and well made. Today I am going back to purchase two more, I did not know that the savings were so great at the time.

If you have Experticity/promotive they do a good discount on therw |

Interesting... Ive tried pads for awhile, they were "ok" but nothing beats the comfort of a quality underquilt..Ironically this resembles this abomination of a homemade pad design I created a while back, it involved duct tape and a few of those old military sleeping pads. It was ugly, heavy and never stayed put..

Worst hammock sleep i recall. She loved it, but the thing made you lay lengthwise and the sides ride up, I went back to my Dutchware 11'. |

I just use my regular insulated Klymit Static V in my hammock (car camping, never been hiking with it). I just don't inflate it 100% so that it can flex a little more.
