Full Zenbivy System or Piece Together?

[USADPT]

For those using Zenbivy, did you purchase the entire system (Light/UL/Etc) or did you add some Zenbivy items to a separate pad/pillow?

What would you recommend if starting from scratch?

[Looks like the Klymit Klymaloft XL is on sale for $119, is that a better pad?]

That's a very low R-value, very high weight, very high bulk pad. I'd definitely look elsewhere.

with the new ultralight pillow and sleeping pad, it is practical to do a full zenbivy system. when i bought my zenbivy bed is was not possible/practical, so i use my older pad and pillow.

Get the system. It’s amazing. Not sure what your use case is, but I’ve been sleeping outside for going on 50 years (in plenty of sub-zero temps) and the ZenBivy system is by far the most comfortable ever. I did ultralight, 25-inch, and FlexAir insulated. Very happy.

I did something a little different than the above. I bought the thermarest pads, the zenbivy sheet and then converted by Katabatic and EE quilts to be compatible. I felt like I was getting a “better” quilt and pad for a similar if not better price. I used the Z packs stick on looks to make my system.

Interested to hear more about the stick in loops. Have they held up well? Thanks.
