"This is one on my favorite pieces of equipment". Review by Roxy

I am 5'2 small lady that loves to backpack 1 - 2 time a month. This is one on my favorite pieces of equipment. Super lightweight, easy to pack and slept well. This worked well with my down sleeping bag. Now getting one for my boy. (Posted on 2/28/13)

"Excellent As a light weight...pad" Review by Old computer Man

The product is excellent as a light weight summer sleeping mat.
It makes a handy back up mat to a thicker mat in winter. (Posted on 2/28/13)

I was really surprised. The body mapping does work, and I get a full night's sleep without any soreness. Review by Nick A.

I really had my doubts that this thing would actually provide the support I need, especially after pulling it out of the shipping package. It's tiny. Really tiny. It's tiny even compared other very light pads. As a comparison, you could fit maybe 4 or 5 of these in the space taken by a Thermarest Trail Scout. Ridiculously small.

So, until I tried it, I thought "there's absolutely no way this will give me a good night's sleep...". I was really surprised. The body mapping does work, and I get a full night's sleep without any soreness. I find that I adjust a couple times a night to stay positioned on it, but the same thing happens with a regular pad too, as I slide around (I'm a very active sleeper). It fits nicely _inside_ all my bags, which helps to keep it in place.

It's also cheaper than any other comparable ultralight pad.

Be aware that this model is designed for ultralight enthusiasts. It goes in my daily travel bag, which I keep super light. For general camping use, or longer stays, I prefer the larger XL model. It's extraordinarily comfortable, and still lighter and less expensive then the competitors. In my experience, that model is the best all around pad on the market, and perfect for the widest range of average users. If you're choosing between this pad and the bigger Klymit model, and have any concerns about comfort, go with the XL. In a large pack, the few extra ounces are definitely worth the amazing comfort the XL provides.

I'm a complete convert to Klymit - never going back to any other brand. All their models earn five stars from me, without reservation. (Posted on 2/28/13)

Klymit X frame Review by Daniel R.

If you need to save weight on your back and space in your pack then this mattress is for you. This is great for ultralight backpacking. I can also fit the Klymit Cush pillow in the stuff sac and together they weigh about the same as a can of soda and are about the same size. A great combo for hiking. Now I only give this item 5 stars as an ultrlight mattress. If you don't care about weight or size this one is not for you. It works best if you sleep on your back and is narrow. You can sleep on your side and it still feels ok. I have not used it in cold temps but it is not rated for winter. If you need a bigger mattress or plan to sleep on big rocks, get something else. This is great for ultralight use but for car camping it is a waste of money. And yes, I am buying more X Frames for my family to hike with and Therma rests to car camp or winter/short hikes with.

My walk about Review by Down-Under Hiker

I used this product for bushwalking in Australia especially where a lightweight pack is required. Last weekends pack carry was in the high country in Victoria in an area which is subject to extreme weather conditions. Sunday night temperatures were down to 0.C (32 F)with heavy showers. The Inertia X Frame proved to be very comfortable, warm despite the fact a silk liner was used in lieu of the usual thermal liner. My fellow walkers were very skeptical at first as to the comfort of the X Frame but those who tried it gave it the thumbs up. (Posted on 2/28/13)

The real question is does it work and is it worth sleeping on? The answer is yes to both questions!!! Review by Jeremiah

The Inertia X Frame sleeping pad has been one of the most fun gear reviews that I have done. Everywhere I have taken this pad people have looked at it and wondered what is was and then if it worked. I have had a dozen or so people try it out for themselves and tell me what they think. I have also slept on it many times to see how comfortable it really is. I have yet to see someone that was not impressed by what they saw and felt. I was quite impressed though at how the pad supported me while on my sides or stomach, as well. I slept good the first night and even better the second. Klymit has figured it out. This is a great pad for anyone who is trying to save weigh but still have some comfort.

Where have you been all my life? Review by Oversea's Soldier

I bought this solely because I hate luggage around massive bags that take up all of my backpack space. I Read that this rolls up to the size of a soda can so I got it. Long story short it does. The only thing I hate is that I didn't know about this sooner. (Posted on 2/28/13)

I want to be clear straight away that this pad is the answer to an ultra-lighter's dilemma when it comes to whether or not sacrificing comfort is worth a few extra ounces. Review by Steve

Klymit has no doubt firmly placed itself as a company that is not holding back when it comes to possibly re-inventing the wheel er, ah, the sleeping pad.

I want to be clear straight away that this pad is the answer to an ultra-lighter's dilemma when it comes to whether or not sacrificing comfort is worth a few extra ounces.

But to be honest I think they should bill this as a "one size fits most". If you really think about who the market for this thing is, the ultralight fast packers, it is a godsend insofar as now there is a viable sleeping pad that weighs virtually nothing and allows so much more comfort than most are used to. What is more than that is as folks try it I am sure they will become converts as well, it is too light weight and too practical to ignore....For the record I slept on it on my side, back, and belly and it performed a lot better than my preconceived notions. I can't wait to see what else Klymit has coming out for us in the coming months. (Posted on 2/28/13)
