Getting a good night sleep for me while backpacking is essential for me to have a great experience. I feel refreshed in the morning to get back on the trail as well as have the energy to last all day. In this article, I am going to do a side by side comparison of three lightweight air sleeping pads: The Klymit Static V, the Big Agnes Air Core SL and the Therm-a-rest NeoAir X-Lite.
Therm-a-Rest has been making sleeping pads since 1972. And with the introduction of the NeoAir XLite you can tell they have years of experience under their belts. The NeoAir XLite is super lightweight and one of the most comfortable air mattresses that I have slept on. You might switch out your old mattress for the NeoAir!
Finding the right sleeping pad for any outdoor adventure can be hard and knowing how much to spend can be even harder. Klymit is a relative new comer to the outdoor industry, but don’t make the mistake of not looking into this company. They have brought some great solutions for sleeping comfortably in the backcountry minus the weight.
When backpacking you have to decide what is worth taking and what you will have to leave behind. One thing that you shouldn’t have to sacrifice is a good night’s sleep. Finding the right sleeping pad can make all the difference while spending a night in backcountry. The Big Agnes Air Core SL is a solid option for someone who is looking for a lightweight, yet durable air mattress.
