[VIC Mel] free Klymit Insulated Static V - with a hole

Massdrop Klymit Insulated Static V, with a leak, free to a good home.
It has a hole somewhere but it must be teeny tiny. It deflates super slowly - by morning it's still about half full. I've tried twice to find the leak in the bath but can't find it. Massdrop gave me a refund so I'm happy to give it to someone who is either an ace hole finder or doesn't mind waking up on a half deflated mat!
It's R 4,4 and 479gm, so super light and warm.
Pickup in Coburg North or post at buyer's expense.

Note to self - next time spend less time crafting a nice email and just send one saying "ME!"

Willing to wager it is a defective valve assembly

I had a self inflating mat that would go down overnight with weight on it, I just put a tiny bit of silicone lube in the valve and that fixed it.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of silicone lube. I think to find the leak (whether it's the valve or elsewhere) you'd need to get it in a swimming pool and apply pressure with compression straps or something!
