The Double V is super comfortable double sleeping mat that is light enough to take on most camping trips. The storage bag/pump sack is useful and makes inflating the mat much easier.
Klymit says
Side-by-side V-Chambers create the ideal sleeping pad for partners. Everyone knows pushing two pads together doesn’t work. Not only does the Double V™ provide ample room for two people to sleep comfortably, the side-by-side V-Chamber construction significantly limits the movement of air between the two sides - meaning when you wake up in the middle of the night you won’t disturb your partner. The Double V comes with a convenient, pump-integrated stuff sack for easy, rapid inflation.
Our Verdict
Klymit's Double V Inflatable Sleeping Mat is a great option for anyone after a double sleeping mat. It retains a lot of the features of the original Static V in that it is still a lightweight sleeping mat using body mapping technology at a really competitive price. It features the v-chamber design which limits air movement and heat loss while offering a uniquely ergonomic body map which is optimzed for performance and comfort.
This double version comes in a handy storage bag which doubles as a pump sack so it saves a lot of time and energy wherever you are. Like some of the newer Klymit sleeping mats it features an easy-to-use valve that makes inflating and deflating even easier. You also get a bonus patch kit for making field repairs.
This mat is surprisingly comfortable and great for summer camping, but take note of the R-Value as you do feel the cold through it when the temperatures drop.

ASTM R-Value:
From 2020, there is a new industry standard for measuring the R-value (level of insulation) of sleeping mats – ASTM F3340-18. This new standard is the sleeping mat equivalent to the EN rating for sleeping bags.
You can now directly compare the R-value of mats rated using the ASTM F3340-18 with confidence that is a fair and accurate comparison between mats. In simple terms, the higher the R-value, the warmer the mat.
In general terms, an R-value below 2.0 is for summer use, 2.0 to 4.0 is for cooler 3 season use and 4.0+ is for winter temperatures. This will be also be dependent on your sleeping bag, how cold you sleep etc. Please contact our customer service team if you need advice on choosing the right mat for your activity.
