I'm a side sleeper, which has presented difficulties with hammock camping. However, I got to spend a handful of nights with this recently (in a new Clark hammock), and was able to sleep on my side pretty well. I did find the hole between the wings a couple of times, which woke me up, but then I had chosen to skip using my sleeping bag and instead used a pair of fleece blankets instead. It got down to about 50F, and I had no other problems.
I will say it's a challenge to get into the Clark with one of these in place. It's wide enough that you have to *make* it go down into the sack of the hammock, and hold it in place while climbing in. Once you get there, it's almost like it's sewn in place, though. The insulated version is actually a bit too warm during the day.

I thought the point of a sleeping pad in a hammock was for insulation. This one only has an R-value of 1.6, so it seems like you'd need an underquilt anyway. Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

I took 2 trips this summer. On my bike. Motorcycle. I have a ZERO UQ that I wasSURE would be overkill, but after that one and it was in July from GA to VTand much more. I realized it was not. there were only like 2 nights I did not get out at like midnight and put on my UQ. Never got too hot. Just uncovered to etc. then my other trip. Lake Superior Circle Was not a question!!! I carried a flannel sheet I figured I may double and use under me if the UQ was too hot, but never did.

That's a super good point! If you're not a furnace of a dude, this may leave you chilly.
What's your setup like for summer camping for when it gets cold at night?

Greetings,
My Hammock V pad was tested during a record snow fall year here in Washington State. I took it out in a 20 degree night. Using No under quilt and my 30 degree EE revolution quilt. I woke up supringly warm, with only a cold spot in my lower back. My quilt, nor my pad slipped during the night. My arms and legs stayed nice and toasty.
It is not a winter pad , nor is it a gram junkie's friend. It blocked the wind and kept me warm enough to sleep in 20* in socks , pants , shirt and jacket. This is more for recreational, weekend warrior and car camping. Bottom line: it fits better, it stays put and it's more comfortable than any other Hammock pad I have used,period. Cheers
P.s. Does not sound like a bag of chips.

If there was a less fancy version of this for around $40-$50 I'd be all over it, seems really cool but at this point I couldn't justify $100 on it

To be fair, a foam pad is budget friendly. Next, there are a lot of options for $40-70 air sleeping pads. So, $100 may seem like a lot of money (aka "fancy") to some people, for various reasons, even if there are pads that are far more expensive in the $150-250.

Ok well I'm not quite sure what "literally hung up on the work literally" even means, and if dude is non gendered where you live why did you assume I though you where a guy when I used it?
secondly I'm in no way implying that this gear isn't "worth it", if I hardcore hammock camped every weekend I'd have much less of a problem paying this much, but I don't. However I do like the idea of a pad that's designed to stay in place in a hammock but for something that will only see that one exclusive use maybe once a month $100 just isn't budget friendly. Plus I don't need something that stuffs up so small or weighs so little so I would consider that to be fancier than I need.

FDcampingThey're not the same thing, and this exact insulated version is currently full list price on Amazon. There are differences.

Here's the thing, I'm a side sleeper. I know I'm going to need an underquilt no matter what pad I have on cold nights. I like the idea of having sides to this pad. I sleep with my knees bent and this looks like it has all the additional support in all the right places. If it doesn't work, I'll send it back, simple.

Klymit website sells this product for $139.95, with an additional 15% discount offer currently. Amazon has insulated version for $118. How is the original price listed at $169.95

I care about the original price so I can factor in the savings amount into whether or not to purchase something. For example, let's say I want a product but cannot afford it right now. A month layer I see it is 10% off. I may decide to hold off because the discount isn't great. If I see it on sale 60% off I may talk myself into getting it now while the discount is so great. If I did not know the original price, I do not know the discount anount. It may not be important to you, but it is to me. If the bottom line is that it doesn't matter, only the current price, then why post the original price at all.

arios005Manufacturers suggested retail prices don't mean much, except to give the impression that the listed price, or the final selling price is a great bargain.
How many times has someone purchased an automobile at the MSRP?
The best way to determine a good deal is to look at the market of available prices, and use the average price derived from five to ten different sellers if available.
Some products have limited sellers, some more.
Again, using the automobile example, you could probably find at least three to five dealers selling Ford, Chevrolet, Honda, Toyota, Jeep, Subaru, and Buick automobiles in any major city, and find it easy to get each dealer to quote you a price, which could still be negotiated further.
In the case of this drop, my research shows that the average price is around $125.00, so the price of $108.25 delivered from Massdrop is a good price, and most purchasers will not pay any sales tax.
Amazon was the next best price at around $119.00, with delivery included, but you will also have to pay sales tax in may states, so in my state that would add an additional 6.5% or around $127.00 total.
I have never seen the insulated version priced lower than this Massdrop price.

I'm not going to say it's "wrong" to lay parallel in a hammock, because some people actually seem to prefer that. However I prefer to lay diagonally, and most of the experienced hammockers I know agree. It's a shame that nearly every hammock product photo shows people laying parallel instead of diagonal.
Recently I have been using a Klymit Insulated Static V2 Lite Sleeping Pad in my hammock that I picked up here on Massdrop some time ago. Paired with Kammok's Firebelly quilt I'm quite comfortable down into the mid 40s (at least, that's as low as I've tested.) It's not a fancy hammock-specific pad, but it works just fine in my hammock.
Per the discussion here, the Klymit Insulated Static V2 Lite Sleeping Pad has a listed R-value of 4.4. If not for adding insulation, I'm not sure what the purpose of a pad would be in a hammock.

SitwonMany of the dedicated camping hammocks do not have sufficient material in a gathered design to lay diagonally. I use an older Clark Jungle Hammock that is effectively a boat inside. There is no way to lay diagonally in it.

CheapBastardIt is my understanding that the Clark hammock is closer to a bridge style hammock, where you don't need to lay in a diagonal for a flat lay.

Doesn't look designed for laying at an angle in the hammock for a flatter lay.. When I got my first hammock in '99-'00 I used a Ridgerest with trimmed corners so I could lay at an angle. Didn't hear about underquilts till years later. That worked fine to freezing.

JerkyKenHow much did you trim the edges? Comparable to rounded edges in a 'mummy' shaped pad these days?

HubeyDoobyDooI cut off about 4" at a 45 degree angle. Helped to keep the pad in place without the corners wanting to push away from the fabric.
