"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"

"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."
"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"I still have the Kirby my grandma bought brand new in 1970."

"I sleep all night and no body aches."
"I side sleep and roll around all night and don’t hit the ground with my hips. ... I am 6’4” and was weighing 250 for most of my use of that mat. Hence why I don’t mind an extra pound for a comfortable sleep at night. I am weighing 220 now and don’t touch the ground at all with the mat partially deflated."
"I'm a side sleeper and these things are an absolute godsend. Once they're in, I don't feel a thing."

"If you want portable that you can take outdoors and get wet, check out the Bose Soundlink Max and Soundlink Flex. I have the flex and take it paddleboarding and camping and love it! Bonus: it floats!"
"portability ... I always travel with a single Flex, which doubles as my on-the-road music source, and white noise generator at night."
"Bose for sound, undisputed champion in the small size. ... EVERYBODY knows the Bose ROCKS at its pricepoint/size."

"I've had a Klymit V for about 4 years and use it regularly. ... Only one puncture in the years I've used it but easy to patch and still going strong."
"I patched it back up with the included patches and it's been fine."

"I had to return my Etherlight XT since it was too cold to use even in summer."
"Klymit is known to completely bullshit their R-value ratings. ... They had an insulated pad rated at 4.4 that they later (had to?) revise to 1.9. ... I personally wouldn't trust them. ... just stay clear of the insulated claims."
"It was so cold with my 30F quilt and a Zoom UL pad that I honestly was concerned. ... I had to spend the night running in circles and doing jumping jacks in the shelter"

"of the two I bought both of them wouldn’t hold air in them. It’s the valve system they use, it leaks air."
"Both times I’ve hiked the PCT my thermarests have popped in the desert . ... My first one had multiple holes and was a write-off."
"I do not believe in blow up mats because a pinhole means you wake up two hours later lying on the ground cold as fuck wishing you had bought something else, then spending an hour trying to find a way to warm up when you’ve already fucked that chance."

BillyRubenJoeBob 1.0I’ve had good luck with the Klymit pads. I use the insulated static v lite pads. The insulation helps but calculating an R value is a bit problematic because the waffle pattern allows the sleeping bag underneath you to contribute to the warmth of the sleep system. I got refurbished pads off eBay. The valves have been reliable and I haven’t felt cold easily into the high 30s using a conventional sleeping bag. I will use a lightweight quilt with those pads into the low 50s.
happy_camper69 1.0Check out Klymit’s lineup of pads. I’ve been moderately happy with mine. You might also look into hammock camping. By far the most comfortable I’ve ever been sleeping outside.
Do they? I hadn’t heard that. I’ve had my static v lite insulated pad for several years and have easily camped on 30 degree weather without issue so maybe the quality has deteriorated since then.
Fr3twork 0.6Klymic V lite/ul insulated has a 4.4 r value, between 16-20oz. It's the least costly for a pad with stats like that. I had one for about five years that I used extensively, including through the length of California on the Pacific Crest Trail. I chopped the bottom 2' off and sealed it with an iron, and only ever had a problem with leaks at the end of its life. The downside, unless they've changed it since I had it, is the valve, which you have to blow into. The inflate-sack style is nice.
1bourbon1scotch1bier 0.2I love my Klymit Static V insulated
Bert_Skrrtz 0.2Just make sure whatever you buy is actually ASTM tested for the R-value. So avoid Klymit for example. If it’s not ASTM tested, they can make up any number they want to. It’s night and day between my Nemo Tensor all-season and my Klymit Static-V Insulated
crevasse2 0.2I have a Klymit Static V Insulated (4.4 r value) I used on the GDMBR in 2023. I somehow managed to poke a hole through both sides including the tyvek ground cover and tent. Shit happens when you sleep on the ground. I patched it back up with the included patches and it's been fine. I consider these things to be consumable and assume I'll have to replace for whatever reason. They're just glorified pool floats. Also you use your breath to inflate them and I suspect they get pretty icky eventually. I try to air mine out whenever possible in the sun hoping that keeps the air chamber somewhat disinfected. I bought mine discounted at Sierra. Not showing online at the moment but might be in stores or this one looks like it's the same thing under a different sister brand (same copy on tag). I need to get one for wifey and I'll probably get this one.

danmanwick 0.2+1 for mec reactor (my solo, 5 years old) or klymit static insulated (double, for doubling, 3 years old) and aquaseal uv for field repairs and aquaseal seam grip for reinforcing the repair at home
derch1981 0.2I would maybe start with better insulation below, I know that pad says r4.4 which should be good in that range but klymit pads are usually not that warm partially for their pattern.
krogers613 0.2Klymit static V insulated with an accordion sleeping bad under has worked for numerous backcountry hunting trips for me
leknek 0.2Best budget pad imo is the Kylmit static V insulated. Good r value and decently comfy. I used mine for years before finally upgrading to a tensor $$$
