New Gear – Sleeping Pad

Bought New Sleeping Pads for Wife and Daughter

​For the past few years my wife and daughter have used traditional air mattresses to provide protection from the bumpy and cold ground. Although a little heavy for long hikes, they have met all our needs. But now that my daughter is 14, and our camping hikes are starting to get longer, we decided to replace their air mattresses with lighter weight sleeping pads.
 
Since the Klymit guys were exhibiting at the Great American Outdoor Show I talked to them about balancing the need for comfort and cold weather protection with weight. Based on our discussion I bought two Klymit Insulated Static V Lite sleeping pads.  
 
You can find the details about these sleeping pads on the Camping/Sleeping page.
