Can anyone tell me what sleeping on this pad feels like compared to a Thermarest Prolite (Plus)? I only have experience with that sort of pad construction, and I find in order to be warm, it needs to be inflated to where my aging joints and minimally padded skin find it to be too hard. Also, if anyone knows what bricks-and-mortar stores carry something similar so I could try it in person, that would be much appreciated.

batumancungMy wife and I have similar pads to the prolite - been using them for maybe 10 yrs. We just move to Klymit Static V's last year. We've spent maybe 12 nights on the V's and they are definitely more comfortable than our 1.5" self inflating pads. On our old pads, I would have to flip around after to avoid getting sore. Side sleeping was not comfy at all. With the V, I don't need to flip and side sleeping is just fine. The only downside is warmth. There is very little R in the uninsulated V's compared to my self inflating. I've spent a few nights in the low 30's and been cold on the backside. So much that we put our down jackets under our sleeping bags. On the flip side, we used the V's in 75+ degrees and the coolness was much appreciated! I'm hopeful this double insulated pad will solve our coldness problem - hoping it ships soon! I got my V's at Costco, they had a Klymit day where I put one on the floor there and tested for a few moments. Other than that, they are hard to find in store.
