Outdoor Retailer: Klymit Air X Backpack

Klymit—one of the more innovative sleeping pad makers on the market—has partnered with Ultralight Adventure Equipment to make a backpack that uses an inflatable frame sheet, rather than standard plastic or aluminum, in a strategic effort to cut down on pack weight.  Weighing in at 40 ounces, the air X is made from 210 ripstop nylon and boasts 4,600 cubic inches of storage space with a max load of 40 pounds.  The quick-drying pad is removable and can perform double duty as a camp seat or pillow.  The flexible pad allows the bag to perfectly contour to the natural curve of your spine, but we suspect back venting/breathability will be an issue. We’ll let you know as we test it out. The pad (also sold separately) will also be compatible with packs from Granite Gear and Gossamer Gear.
