Lightweight Gear Built for Summer Treks

Longer days. Lighter packs. Warmer nights. Summer is the perfect time to log miles on your favorite trail—or discover a new one entirely. Whether you’re planning a weekend loop or tackling a serious section hike, smart gear choices can make or break the experience. At Klymit, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between pack weight and sleep quality. You can have both.

Lightweight Comfort with the Insulated Static V2

At the heart of a great summer kit is a pad that balances warmth, packability, and support. The Insulated Static V2 checks every box. Weighing just over a pound, it’s ultralight and compact without sacrificing comfort. The body-mapped V-chamber design limits air movement to keep you centered while you sleep, and the Klymalite™ synthetic insulation adds just enough warmth to handle shoulder-season chills or breezy alpine nights.

It's built for thru-hikers, fast-packers, and anyone who values a solid night’s sleep without the bulk.

Trail-Ready Pillows, Built to Pack Down Small

Let’s face it—your stuff sack full of clothing doesn’t cut it as a pillow. Klymit’s inflatable pillow lineup offers comfort that matches your sleeping pad, with a barely-there packed weight.

• The Pillow X is our lightest option—ultra-compact with a self-centering X design that cradles your head and won’t slide around overnight.
• The Pillow X Large offers a wider, loftier version for side sleepers or those who just like a little extra cushion.
• The Luxe Pillow is the ultimate in trail-side luxury, combining a soft, quilted outer shell with inflatable support and a larger surface area.

Each one inflates in just a few breaths and packs down small enough to slip into your pack’s side pocket.

Versatility on the Trail with the Horizon Backpacking Blanket

Summer conditions change fast. One minute you’re sweating on the switchbacks, the next you’re chilled by a sunset breeze. The Horizon Backpacking Blanket is the layer you’ll be glad you brought. It’s lightweight and compressible, with a soft-touch fabric that feels cozy without trapping heat. Use it as an added layer over your quilt, a wrap during a rest break, or an emergency warmth layer when the temps dip unexpectedly.

It’s also trail-tested durable, machine washable, and packable enough to stash in your lid or stuff pocket without a second thought.

Go farther with less this summer. From ultralight comfort to compact warmth, Klymit’s lightweight gear is built to keep up with your biggest summer miles—without slowing you down.
