The best sleeping pads for backpacking in 2024.

From the article -

The Klymit Static V - is an incredible value. For less than 70 bucks, you can get a super-packable and quite comfortable backpacking pad. At a little over a pound, it’s not ultralight, but it’s certainly on the light end of the spectrum.

It packs down easily and only takes a few breaths to inflate. We’ve had one in testing that wore out after 6 months of hard use and stopped holding air, but we’ve had another in testing for more than 18 months with no durability concerns.

For the summertime backpacker on a budget, the infrequent camper, or someone looking to pad out their whole family, Static V is a killer value. It offers a significant bump up in comfort from a closed-cell foam pad.

Since the Static V isn’t as thick as some of its competitors, you’ll be able to inflate it more quickly. Your tent mates won’t need to worry about noise, as we could toss and turn in silence all night while testing.

If you sleep cold or camp during the fall or winter, you may want to consider a pad with a higher warmth rating. The Static V also comes in a long and wide version if you need a little more wiggle room. They weigh and cost a bit more, but they’re a little more comfortable and still clock in under or around $100.
