I like it for hikes where I'll be in highly impacted campsites, and not 
the Jardinian ideal of stealth camping on soft forest duff.

When I carry it on 2-season trips in California and southern Oregon, I 
use it together with a GG Thinlight mattress 
(gossamergear.com/sleeping/1-8.html) for thermal insulation, under one 
of several different home-made Polarguard or Climashield quilts, or a 
down quilt (nunatakusa.com/site07/arc_products/arc_specialist.htm).

When the route plan offers good opportunities for stealth camping, I 
don't carry it and instead use only a 3/8" closed-cell foam on 
carefully-chosen soft ground.

If there was a down-filled version, I might use it for winter camping, 
in conjunction with a down coat and pants, and a 3-layer polarguard 
quilt. But the one time I tried, I was glad to switch to a 
self-inflating open-cell foam air mattress I also carried to put over my 
closed-cell foam mattress, because the Klymit Inertia X-Frame, as you 
might expect, has a negligible R-value.
