Static V Short™ Sleeping Pad

I’m a Scout leader and this 14-ounce pad has been a game changer for the kids—it straps to the outside of their packs without weighing them down on the trail. The ¾ length leaves room in the tent for gear, and the V-shaped baffles mean no rolled-off-the-pad nights.

For a weekend backpacking trip, I swapped my full-length pad for this one and didn't miss the extra inches at all. It rolls down to about the size of a soda can, which freed up tons of room in my pack, and the 14-ounce weight is barely noticeable. Woke up without a single cold spot, so the V-chamber

Took this on a scout trip with my daughter and the 14-ounce weight meant I didn’t even feel it in my pack — it really does crush down to soda-can size, which blew my mind. The 3/4 length was plenty for her, and she actually slept through the night without tossing once.
