Klymit Static V vs Exped SynMat XP9

The Klymit Static V makes for a good, if unremarkable, Sleeping Pad for people with a $45 budget.

The Exped SynMat XP9, however, is merely mediocre at its $149 asking price, when compared to similarly priced products, and won't satisfy the needs of most people.

In either case, we suggest that you first take a look at some other options at the $45 and $160 price points before committing to one of these - it's likely that you'll be able to find some better alternatives.
