The last “con” depends somewhat on your body size: The X Frame is just 18″ wide. A closed cell foam mattress like the Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite SOL is dirt-simple smarter - but heavier and much bulkier.

If you travel into truly pokey parts of the world, it’s hard to recommend any full inflatable. Overall, the build quality is excellent, but like any inflatable, thorns will be your biggest enemy.
#KLYMIT INERTIA X LITE PATCH#
The Intertia X Frame isn’t all sunshine and light, though - it has two cons.Īs you might expect with a blow-up mattress, Klymit includes a patch kit. (I was happy with what my own lungs produced.) The X Frame comes with a small hand pump, which you can use to add a couple extra pounds of pressure to the pad if you want a stiffer feel. Cushion is what I cared about most - but any loft is better than no loft when it comes to insulating properties. I can imagine a better response from a nice down bag, but I didn’t bother to find out. I used the X Frame with a mid-level synthetic bag and I didn’t get much loft out of it. Klymit touts its “Loft Pocket” technology, which means that your sleeping bag can fluff up into the holes in the X Frame, which gives you better insulating and warmth capabilities from your bag. The Klymit Inertia X Frame sleeping pad packs down into a tiny package. I expected to adjust my position to match the tubes, but in reality, I didn’t have to pay that much attention to where my knees or feet were. Once you start rolling around, back-to-side, side-to-stomach, you become more aware of the support system. I could feel the tubes running beneath my body, but I had to pay attention - had I not seen what I was laying down upon, I might have simply thought it was a standard cushy air mattress. It was insanely light, 72 inches long and a bit narrow. When I unrolled the X Frame, which came packed in a small carrying bag about the size of a Diet Coke can, it took just a few puffs of air to inflate it. I’m a relatively big guy, about 6’3″ and 220 pounds with wide shoulders. How the Inertia X Frame Works The Klymit Inertia X Frame sleeping pad is awesome for ounce-shaving ultralight backpackers.ĭesigned by Klymit’s body mapping research, the X Frame is supposed to give you support under key pressure zones - head, shoulders, hips, legs, and feet. I think I’ve held turkey feathers that weighed more than the Inertia X Frame. Is the Intertia X Frame light? Hell yeah: 9.1 ounces. Of course, the grid also means less material, and less material means less weight. The idea is that you don’t actually need complete and total pad coverage underneath every part of your body if all the core spots are supported by the X Frame’s grid of inflatable tubes. Dimensions 42" x 18" x 1.5" / 106.7 cm x 45.7 cm x 3.THE FIRST TIME I SAW the Klymit Inertia X Frame ultralight sleeping pad, I was blown away by the innovation and promise: Instead of a rectangle, the Inertia X Frame is a grid of inflatable tubes - with a dozen large holes in the frame.Patch Kit included for emergency repairs.The valve’s intelligent design allows for micro adjustments to fine tune pressure and comfort. Inflation and Deflation: : Pad rapidly inflates in as few as 2-4 breaths, and a hand pump is included for more rapid inflation and the ability to reach a higher PSI.The Right Size:: At 48” long, the streamlined size is tapered to fit the body and allows the pad to be used inside or outside of your sleeping bag.Loft Pockets: Empty spaces between the chambers serve as expansion zones that allow your sleeping bag to fully loft beneath you, maximizing its thermal performance.Body Mapping: Advanced patterning places chambers only where padding is needed and eliminates them where they are not, allowing us to shed significant weight without sacrificing comfort.
