Fall Gear Guide: Camping

E-mail Print PDF

Dual Temp

Fall is a great time to get out and see the fall colors. That said, with temperatures dropping and weather that could change anytime, being prepared is a must. The gear featured here will help you prepare for whatever Mother Nature might throw at you. Or at least make your fall camping trips a lot more enjoyable. First up are sleeping bags.

Gear Review: Klymit’s Inertia XL

E-mail Print PDF

Inertia XL

The Inertia XL is a light and comfortable sleeping pad that packs down small. This is not the first sleeping pad that I have reviewed from Klymit, but it is the most comfortable. I will be upfront that I loved the Inertia X-Frame or this pad’s “little brother” for its size and weight. That said the Inertia XL is a great option for those who want just a little more comfort and can sacrifice a little weight.

Jakpak

The Jakpak is a jacket that converts into a tent and a sleeping bag. I reviewed the first Jakpak about a year and a half ago. The makers of the Jakpak have improved many of the issues that the first design had, making this design much better.

We have had a hard time narrowing this last guide down. We have included gear that works great for camping, climbing, hiking and even to play in the water. We hope that with all the choices that we have provided with these three gear guides that you will be able to find dad that special gift for Father's Day. We here, at Open Air Life would like to thank our dads for taking us out in the great outdoors early in our lives.

Klymit Inertia X Frame

E-mail Print PDF

sleeping pad

The Inertia X Frame sleeping pad has been one of the most fun gear reviews that I have done. Everywhere I have taken this pad people have looked at it and wondered what is was and then if it worked. I have had a dozen or so people try it out for themselves and tell me what they think. I have also slept on it many times to see how comfortable it really is. I have yet to see someone that was not impressed by what the saw and felt.

First, to get started on some basic information about this pad. It is the lightest inflatable sleeping pad that I have seen, weighing only 9.1 ounces. (10.1 ounces if you include the dry air pump.) The pad also rolls down to the size of a can of soda.
