The big story for Klymit's Armored V Sleeping Pad is that one side features 100D nylon with SuperFabric in order to repel tears and holes caused by even the most challenging terrain.
The top side is made from 50D stretch. The Armored V weighs 2.4 lbs and is 23"x72"x2.5", offering 1.6 R value.

I’ve used Klymit pads for years and think the world of them. Great products, I’m looking forward to checking out this one.
On my shopping list…
SSD, there is a typo in URL!
My Kylmit Recon XL got broken – contacted them by Mail – thought it would turn out to be a easy story…
They never replied to me even after a second try.
Never again.
Because of that I purchased across-linked Polyethylen mat: the Wechsel Tents Mateno M for cheap 15 USD, got a R-Value of 3, weights in at 350g, industructable, multi use…
F*$# of Klymit from now on!
Ah, another Benefit that the X-PE Mat offers compared against to the Klymit Recon: Works in Hammocks aswell!
2.4 pounds and an R value of just 1.6?
Just get a standard thermarest and put a CCF pad underneath to stop it puncturing. It will be lighter and far warmer.
What’s the R value on your solution?
A regular thermarest Ridgerest Classic has a claimed R value of 2.6 and weighs around a pound.
I assume that’s what he means when he says standard thermarest.
