Has anyone used a Klymit Static or insulated V with something like a nemo tango, or other quilt in cooler 40-30's temps and been comfortable?
My fear is the deep baffles will draft during the night between me and the sleeping pad.
I've used a pad with an R value of 1 in a synthetic mummy bag down to 30's and it wasn't awesome in any way shape or form, but it also wasn't bad enough that I had to put on my base layer in the bag, just a hat and socks. The girl friend on the other hand was too cold to sleep that night.
I now have a tango solo and duo that we both love. The solo I have also used as an underquilt that I just used some shock cord to tie it to the hammock with.
I would like to purchase an insulated V for myself and possibley a double v for summer if the significant other doesn't work all next summer on the road.

I use the Klymit Insulated V pad and I've found it warm and comfortable with a 20 degree down sleeping bag. I like that it's a few inches wider than most pads and it inflates quickly.

I use the Klymit Insulated V pad and I've found it warm and comfortable with a 20 degree down sleeping bag. I like that it's a few inches wider than most pads and it inflates quickly. thats what I had liked about it too that it was 23 instead of 20, I have a therma rest something or another thats 20 X 70 X 3 with an R value of 1. I roll off of it constantly in a spleeping bag wich has all ways been an issue for me, waking up with mummy hoods over the face and under my inflateable sleeping pad. I used the R1 mat once last october probley about this time at a local lake landing to test my mat and bag that was rated to 45, with a "survivabilty" rating down to 32 and I was a little chilled but nothing terrible I slept with heavy socks and a hat on. the worst part was whatever was splashing in the shallow water and mooing all night, wonder if it was a moose or something but I never saw it. The lasdy friend however was frigid and she left. But I really wanna know if it would work with a quilt sense I don't do to well in sleeping bags, I'm a light sleeper and I must move a lot, I know that part of the idea to the Insulated V's was that your bags would loft under you into the ridges. Do you think if you had a quilt that kinda wrapped around the outsides of the mat that it would still be warm? down to at least freezing? I know the tango's are good down to freezing I've tested them this spring it's just sense they are backless I need to find me a good pad that doesn't weigh much, and now it looks like in a week or two I should be going ot montana for a week.
