Klymit Enertia X Sleeping Pad

[GolfHiker]

Has anyone had any experience with this unique, UL, sleeping pad. From what I read it looks ul, easy to use, sturdy, different. Just what UL hikers are looking for. I am curious, but not convinced.

Make that a Klymit Inertia ( not Enertia) Sleeping Pad.

I really want to try out an x-lite.

Check out these reviews. It looks like something of a love-or-hate relationship, IMO.

I hiked with a guy using one of those - he said as long as you are the kind of person that lays on your back, and dont move at all once settled, they are fine.

I really wanted to try one of these, but being a side sleeper I just dont see it working for me.

It sounded like something I would love until I read that they were prone to punctures....

Tried one out at Bill Jackson's here in Tampa and you DEFINITELY need to be a back sleeper that doesn't move around.

Tried one at REI last week. Only about an inch thick, not enough to it for this side sleeper.

I tried at home many times. I found they are comfortable for back sleepers. I also tried to sleep on my side, and it performed as well. My question is, can you use the pad with a quilt on top?

GolfHiker,

I like mine. Very light, packs small, and no effort to inflate. I move around quite a bit at night and was worried at first that I would not sleep well on this thing, but it hasn't been a problem. I find it as comfortable as any other similar weight solution.

As far as warmth, I was pleasantly surprised. I used it into the teens on a trip on the Kekekabic this spring and stayed warm. I would not take it if it was going to be much colder though. Also, this is the first season I've used it, so I don;t know how it will hold up. I intend to continue to use through the summer and fall, so will find out if it is durable enough for my uses.

Still, it is a different feel than other pads I've used, so if you can I'd try before you buy.

Can you elaborate on this? I'd like to consider these pads as a more durable alternative to some of the other ultralight inflatables. I'm under the impression they use a relatively heavy fabric.
