Klymit x pad?

[pacific-23]

Looking for some reviews of this pad. I saw several mentions of it when it came out just wondering if people have some thoughts on it after a year of use. Looking into a more comfortable pad, but not wanting to gain too much weight and nervous about an inflatable pad. Age old dilemma I know.
Thanks. Josh

Personally, I did not find it very comfortable as I sleep on my back, stomach, and side. It held up well, even with all of those seams, and was easy to inflate. Doesn't weigh very much, and it does pack down to a manageable size.
If you are more into comfort I think there are better options out there, but if you are looking for something lightweight and more comfortable than a foam pad this should be the ticket.

I have this pad also, but have only used it twice. I think that if I only slept on my back it would work out well for me, but I usually sleep on my side. The vast majority of my backpack trips are for hunting purposes and it can get pretty cold up here in Aug and later when I'm hunting in the mountains. This is not a good pad if you need something that insulates well. I'd be interested in selling it for a good price, if you still think that it would work for your needs.

Thanks guys. That's kind of where my thought process was going, just wanted to check as the weight is seductive!

I used the Klymit Inertia X Frame this year. Took it out scouting, sheep hunting and elk hunting; roughly about 12 nights on it. I ended up using my old Z lite-pad for part of the elk hunt and the rest of my hunts this year. I returned it for a refund. The weight was great - 9.1 oz packed. But it was uncomfrotable and I kept sliding off it. I thought I was a back sleeper but appreantly I move an awful lot when I sleep. for me it is worth it to spend money on a light but full bodied pad. I am now looking at the Big Agnes Q-Core SL and therma-rest neoair for next year.r

To eliminate the sliding issue, they're meant to be placed inside your bag. Then for better insulating purposes, the bag is supposed to be pulled/plucked up into all the holes in the pad.

I did use it in my sleeping bag as instructed by the company, however, that did not stop me from sliding off the klymit X-frame inside the bag. From my use of the product it would appear to be best suited for people who sleep on their back and who do not move much. The design of the Klymit x-frame is to give you support and comfort in all the key pressure zones, while eliminating unnecessary material to reduce weight and pack size. Unfortunately, if you don't stay in those support zones, than you will not sleep very comfortably.

The idea is great but it did not work for me.
