Static V Lite Eco™ Sleeping Pad

The V-chambers are a game changer for side sleepers like me—my hip actually sinks in instead of hitting the ground. Set it up on a rocky campsite last weekend and woke up with zero stiffness, which is rare for a pad this light.

Eighteen ounces felt like nothing in my pack, but the side rails finally let my shoulder stay on the pad all night instead of sliding off into the dirt. Woke up actually rested after a chilly 40-degree night, so the three-season rating is legit for me.

I’ve slept on it four nights now and the V-chamber design really keeps me from rolling off in the middle of the night, which was my old pad’s biggest flaw. Packs down small enough to stuff in the bottom of my pack without a fight, and that’s exactly what I needed for a three-season trip.
