NEMO Tensor All-Season Ultralight Insulated Sleeping Pad

Super Teil, aber knistert beim drauf liegen. Aber wen es nicht stört - allet juut.

I am a light sleeper to begin with, and because of a lower spine injury, I'm a bit more sensitive to spinal alignment than I would like. I'm a side and stomach sleeper that uses a Tempurpedic mattress at home and that's been the perfect means of letting my hips and shoulders do what they need to do while keeping my spine aligned The first time I went backpacking I was on horizontal baffles and thought someone was tearing my spine in half all night. It was awful. I moved to the thermostat X lite which was a lot better, letting the vertical baffles depress more independently under the different pressure points. I slept ok, but as someone who does flip over a few times every night, I would call my sleep sufficient, but not as restful and I would want for a strenuous day. After years of hearing people rant and rave about the Tensor, I thought the All Season might be a good opportunity to get a better R value and try it out. The weight sacrifice would be worth it for a warmer pad that might be more comfortable. I took it out for my first trip with it and it was great. I was comfortable all night. In fact my only regret was not getting the wide pad. I fit on a regular just fine, but when I turn over, that extra few inches would be nice and I wouldn't necessarily have to do the more conscious shimmy and rotate lol.

I slip off this thing all night long. Not real convenient to inflate with the bag- takes more breaths to blow the bag up than to fill my former pad. Also too narrow.

great design easy to fill up with the air stuff sack, pretty quite, I like the durability, it is pretty narrow but I knew this before purchase, nice weight and great R value. I wish that the deflate and inflate valves where not stacked cause sometimes ill pull the inflation stuff sack off to fast and it pulls the deflate valve open. as for sleeping I thought it was good, it is narrow its a mummy design not wide but saves weight with good ground clearance. I do sleep on my side and back and am able to transition ok. its easy to use if you are not familiar with one already pretty straight forward nice clear instructions on the bright green fill sack, nice and compact, and kept mr comfortable and warm in 30 deg night. does show dirt on the bottom but thats me not using a ground cloth of anything under it.

The lightest sleeping pad! highly recommend! Insulated aswell. its an amazing pad.
