Using your Klymit Double V Sleeping Mat is a breeze. First, take it out of the pump - integrated stuff sack. Unroll it on a flat surface. Then, use the integrated pump in the stuff sack to inflate the mat. It'll be ready for use in no time. When it's time to pack up, just open the valve and let the air out. Roll it up and put it back in the stuff sack. For maintenance, keep it clean. If there's dirt, use a mild soap and water to gently wipe it. Make sure it's completely dry before storing. The anti - microbial laminate helps keep it fresh, but don't let it sit in a damp place. And if it gets a small tear, use the included patch right away. With proper use and care, your mat will last you a long time thanks to its lifetime warranty.
