How does the Klymit pad work in the hammock?

The static v series of pads from Klymit are the best hammock pads in my opinion. because they're fairly wide (23") and the baffle shape lets them conform well to the shape of the hammock. I've tried lots of others but the Klymit Static V's are the way to go. You should under-inflate a little.
