I am a weekend and week long section hiker. My total 3 season pack weight including 5 days food and 2 liters of water is 29 to 30 lbs and with several gear upgrades I should be down to 25.
Current pad, thermarest self inflator, 2 lb, large packed size. I like the 2 1/2 inch thick, my old bones can't handle thin pads. A neoair at 12 oz would be nice, but the $150 approx. cost seems high.
I am looking at a Klymit Static V2 http://www.klymit.com/index.php/products-1/sleeping-pads/static-v2.html , at 16 to 17 oz it is a little heavier than the neoair, but for $60 it looks like a good deal, and I think I can sacrifice the 5 oz for $90 less.
Comments? Thoughts?
