I've had the insulated Static V for 5+ years, and it's been good--no leaks. It's not noisy at all, like some of them. I've done 4 and 6 week trips with it and no problems. I think I paid $60 for it at Costco some years back. I'd buy another.

I have a Klymit Insulated. I also have an Exped synmat7 and a Thermarest Neo-Air XTherm. The Klymit is nowhere near as warm or comfortable as the others and I don't use anymore. I wouldn't push it below the 40's. The Thermarest is my favorite.

Really enjoy the insulated Klymit Static V. Needs to be the insulated model for nearly all seasons. Have been using it many years now. Actually also got the double width model for when it's my wife and me; the two singles kept drifting apart and I was sleeping on the ground between the single pads. There can be a weird squeak occasionally when shifting your weight - air moving between sections - but nothing all that annoying.
Our pillows are the Nemo Fillo Elite.

I tried those Klymit Static V, for a night in my house, and returned them. My back got sore. I bought an exped megamat, and like it better, although they're awfully expensive now. I recommend trying them out on your hard floor for a night, and see what you think. The expeds we bought have an R value of 5. We use a 20 degree down bag, and with the pads, we were toasty at 34 degrees. We haven't had colder temps to try them yet. We used to have a queen size airmattress, with no R value, and I can tell you anything under about 42 degrees we were uncomfortable.

I've had a static V insulated for 6 years and its great as long as its above 40. Below that I get cold with that pad quickly. I confirmed the pad was the weak point in my sleeping kit by switching only the pad on a two night outing. The warmer pad isn't compact which is why I got the static V for backpacking, and subsequently light weight tripping in the BWCA. I take the Therm-a-rest camprest(?) for all fall/winter camping. My wife has a sea to summit and stays warm into the mid 20's. She hasn't camped cooler than that.

Have had the Insulated Static V Lite for 4 years and has worked well for the $42 I got it for. R-Values were over reported originally, but I haven't had issues and even use a bag without fill underneath. I'm sure an upgrade may feel a little nicer, but at the cost of weight, size, and noise. Recommend a long pad if you're a stomach sleeper anywhere near 6', otherwise your feet rest on the tent floor. Good starter pad before venturing into the pricier ones or hammock life.
I have an X-Pillow that was near free, but have not used. It is smaller than my kidney bean shaped inflatable of the same price point. Check around on amazon for the inflatable Sea to Summit knockoff. It fits well in the hood of a mummy bag to keep it in place at night.

Klymit Insulated Static V sleeping pad with pillow X or Static V2 sleeping pad with pillow X?
Who has used and your recommendations?

I use the static luxe extra wide insulated with a 15 degree down bag. I started to get cold around 20 degrees but have only camped at that temp twice. It works well around 40-50 degrees. It's not the most comfortable pad out there, but it's lightweight-ish and is definitely decent enough to where I can't anything bad about it.
