I have no affiliation with the product, of course, just wanted to share what I thought was a neat product and has earned a permanent spot in my EDC bag. 100 Cotton Made in the USA or Imported Machine Wash Mod-O-Doc Mens Les Carillo Long Sleeve Notch Slub Jersey V-Neck. ![]() I can fill it with a single full breath, it's ~30"x9" inflated, 3oz., $15, and folds a bit larger than a deck of cards. With no real insulation it does not have the R-value of a CCF pad, of course, and over time you do start to feel the chill creep through, but it seems fine for short-term day use (lunch, resting, relaxing). features: - lighter- at 1.5 to 4 oz the klymit air beam is a fraction of the weight of most pack support systems - stiffer- by utilizing our proven lightweight fabrics we can achieve incredibly strong structures supported by pressurized air - optimal load transfer- at only in. Course, it works well as sit-pad too - I prefer putting a half twist in it to make a "V" shape which provides more coverage for my butt and legs. HERE is a PCT UL thru-hiker that used one for sleeping. I use my EDC bag as an elevated pillow and the Klymit Cush supports from my butt to the top of my shoulder blades (lying on back) or from hip to shoulder (lying on side). I toss and turn too much for any long term sleeping (you'll roll right off with any significant movement) but it seems fine for a short nap, or just relaxing. I found the Klymit to be in the same ball park, comfort and warmth wise as the Big Agnes Insulation Air Core, and the Thermarest NeoAir. Klymit, a Utah brand, makes a 35-ounce model, the LiteWater Dingy (LWD), for ease of carry when the rugged build is overkill. ![]() The Klymit Cush is marketed as a camping pillow and seat, but for me, it's also long and wide enough to lie down on (back or side) for a nap, insulating my body from the cold ground and providing enough comfort to actually sleep. I am a very very picking sleeping pad person, and find very few pads that really allow me to have a good night sleep. ![]() Anyways, I just wanted to share a neat little product that has finally filled a winter niche for me while hiking, snow-shoeing, and X-country skiing - how to get off your feet to rest/relax while the ground is frozen or snow covered. Not sure if "clothing" is the best sub-forum for this, but it seems more appropriate than "shelter".
