Hey, just some positive feedback. I finally received my pad and pillow. I put a lot of research into pads, and wanted Ultra Light. I'm 5.7, and 170 odd pounds. I chose this over the Neo Air XLite due to price, (about $100 usd more expensive), higher RV value (4.4 compared to 3.2) width at (23" compared to 20"). The width is really important, as the 20" would have been too narrow, the 23 width is great. Check your shoulder width, that's why I didn't go for the Mass Drop 20" model, just too narrow.
For what it is worth, here's a bit of feedback, based on installing inside the house on the carpet, flat.
Installation - 13 breathes in 44 seconds, I'm a freediver, so I found this relatively easy. You pull the valve up to open, and inflate with breathes, tounge over the valve between inflations, to close, push down with your tounge, easy as, no need for an inflation bag. It apparently has anti-microbial properties, so no worries.
Pack-Away - 3 minutes 20, the thing with the Klymit's is that you do need to roll them out and get out all the excess air. I'd say 5 minutes to pack away in a tent - for a patient, careful job
Pillow - easy inflation
Observations - Side Sleeping - I didn't touch the ground at any point through the pad Sitting - I did touch the ground, but how often do you sleep sitting down? Length - nice, suits a person probably 5.7-5.8 Width - 23 was nice Packability - without the stuff sack (unncessary, used a bungee band, packed repair kit - a piece of fabric and glue in my tool bag), really about 1.5-2litre bottle wide and high, all good
I'm using a polycryo under sheet, or will use within a tent with bottom, will make sure I check the ground below!

SnoopI have used for 8 nights in the mountains here in NZ with a silk bag (to protect the quilt), Enlightened Equipment -20f Revelation Quilt and when wet all inside an OR Alpine Bivy Bag. All good at zero degrees in the mountain tops. I take care to check the ground snd use a polycryp sheet and tarp. The Klymit was all good. Very happy with its warmth, size and packability
