"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"

"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"they are extremely durable. ... I’ve got well over 1000 miles out of a pair and they still have grip and the uppers are in great shape"
"I've used them for 1500 miles of multi-day hiking with no issues!"

"super comfy. ... And even me at 270lbs I can sit in my side and not bottom out (inflated a lot though)"
"definitely has improved our sleep quality a lot while camping ... boyfriend has back issues so a bad sleep set up is not really an option"
"I just put up with the pinholes and patching them on trail because I can't sleep better on any other pad. ... There's a huge difference in comfort depending on your body between the dimpled baffling of the Etherlight/Tensor and the horizontal baffling of the Xlite. ... I can't sleep on horizontal baffling despite all the good features of the Xlite. ... I'm a side sleeper and my arms and shoulders ache and/or fall asleep or go numb on the Xlite. For whatver reason I can only sleep on dimpled baffles (tensor, etherlight)"

"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."
"Inflatables take a lot of babying, they often get holes. ... If a pad pops once every 10 weeks, you’ll have to replace the pad at least twice on a thruhike. Of course, some pads don’t pop, it’s just that they often do pop or leak at some point. I don’t want to spend 100-200 dollars on something that’s gonna fail after a couple weeks. ... “ often they do pop or leak at some point” meaning most pads will pop eventually. Once it pops or leaks, even if it’s once, the pad has failed and it doesn’t effectively function unless repaired or replaced. ... Based on anecdotal personal evidence, which of course isn’t a great measure, a lot of pads pop or leak without making it through a full thruhike. One failure is too many for me. There’s no other piece of gear, besides socks and shoes, that fail as often as pads. ... I’ve had one fail in as little as 2 days and I currently have one that has yet to fail after like 70 nights🤷♂️."
"leaked out the valve all through Washington, leaving me on the ground multiple times per night, waking me up every hour or so."

"found it to be the equivalent warmth of the insulated static v plus my ccf, and even pairing the etherlight extreme with a ccf, and having it fully inflated wasn’t nearly enough for sleeping on frozen ground or snow."
"I've got three nights on it so far in temperatures ranging from upper 30s to mid 40s and I have been cold on it every night. ... It wasn't freezing, but it was noticeably cool and feels like an accurate R-value would be significantly lower. ... That night the pad felt a little colder than my nights on the Neoloft have been, but not by much."
"too cold for what they said it was"

"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."
"Klymit lies about their r value and it’s really closer to 1.6 or 2. ... I am pissed at them for selling uninsulated pads marketed as insulated."
"Klymit straight up lies about R values. ... Their advertised R values are not ASTM rated values. You have to look buried in their specifications to find the ASTM value."

"I had to return the etherlite after waking up with a sore back every night."
"I'm a side sleeper and had one of the worst nights sleep on the S2S Ether ... Something about the S2S made my spine bend the wrong way on my side."
"My ass is always hitting the ground with the Klymit V."
Mammoth-Analysis-540 1.0I have tried many sleeping pads and have never had a problem sleeping on any of them. I have a Klymit Inertia X Frame pad that works great because it’s designed to go inside the sleeping bag. Love the fact that I never roll off in the middle of the night and is less likely to get punctured. It weighs 19oz. Will also add that I did a bikepacking trip in Canyonlands and had no trouble with my $69 Klymit. Meanwhile my brother’s brand new $250 Thermarest leaked air every night of the trip so he basically slept on the ground.
prozach37 0.8I use a cheaper blow-up Klymit with some reflectix r21 over the top. Super light and cost effective. My blow-up pillow has an elastic strap, which i use to keep them together at the head, and at the toe, I just use a piece of paracord. I've done this for years and never felt the need for a $200 + sleep mat.
I have a $39 Klymit I've been using for years. Thermorest z lite under that and reflectix under my bag when it gets real cold.
ThePracticalDad 0.7As a side sleeper the Klymit Static V was a game changer that got me back into camping. Pro tip: inflate fully. Then when you go to bed. Deflate until it’s comfy.
I have the insulated version and I’m pretty happy with it. Down to 40F I’ve never felt any cold thru it.
My Klymit Static V wide was a game changer for me. I had quit camping. (.side sleeper, hate cold ground) Half inflated it’s warm, holds me in place, and packs small.
copperisblue 0.5We have a klymit double insulated ultra- light static v, which may have only been offered in mass drop. I think the static v is rather divisive, but it has worked really well for us.
Agerak 0.5Ahh ok then yea low or no R-value would be fine in those cases. Klymit also makes a good lightweight low R-value pad, it's what I used in Texas and worked quite well in warmer weather. Not as heavy or thick as the one you linked, but much lighter and packs down smaller. Great if you're backpacking but there are better options if car camping imo. Exped Ultra 1R is also a good pad, the more insulated 3 and 5 are also popular for colder temps. I've used the Dura versions which are a heavier/more insulated version and it was comfortable. I've also heard good things about Nemo Tensor but have no experience with it.
oOorolo 0.5I went this exact route also. But just with an uninsulated static V for 2 years. OP if you're on a if you're on a strict budget, the regular static V is $90 at Canadian Tire, $80 on Altitude Sports (online only, out of quebec, but they are reputable and I use them often). If you have some flexibility, Altitude Sports has the static V insulated for $127 right now. If you camp primarily between June and early September, the regular static is all you need. Insulated would be much more comfortable outside of that range, but I did find the static to be fine in colder conditions as long as an appropriate bag was used. They way they're designed lets the bag stay a little bit loftier under you, as opposed to a flat pad that fully compresses your bag under you. Do not get the static V lightweight if you're worried about leakage. It's a much thinner material on top than the regular statics and I believe the dimensions are a tad smaller.
Ericdrinksthebeer 0.4If it's not cold, you can save space and weight with an uninsulated inflatable. I have a klymit inflatable that took me across Scotland. I used a z-lite on top of it for cold nights since that is negligible weight and can be stored externally. But my real answer is a hammock.
802Brad 0.3I've been using the Klymit Static V for about 5 years (summer only) and while I find it comfortable and the weight/pack-ability it great, I think I'm going to replace it with a Nemo Tensor All Season.
Alaskanarrowusa 0.3For £50 you’re not going to get the same warmth as your old Ether, but you can get something comfy and reliable like the Klymit Static V If you want something easy to grab in-store go to a Decathlon and look at their Trek series pads which are pretty affordable too. [5 Best Ultralight Sleeping Pads in 2025](https://alaskanarrows.com/5-best-ultralight-sleeping-pads-for-backpacking/) could help with others as well Cheers mate
Automatic_Tone_1780 0.3Yeah I’ve struggled with a number of pads. Come to the conclusion that the only non hammock solution for me is a pad with foam in it, and there’s no really light self inflating foam pads by its nature. I treat my gear respectfully but I definitely don’t choose gear to bring into the woods which needs to be babied, except for maybe my down quilt. For now the most comfortable inflatable I’ve found weirdly is the klymit static V. As a bonus it’s pretty durable. Definitely not the lightest though
