NEMO Tensor Insulated Sleeping Pad (2022), Torch, Long Wide

When camping, it's essential to have a comfortable sleeping experience. The key to achieving this is having a good sleeping bag and a reliable sleeping pad. No one wants to end up sleeping on a hard, uncomfortable ground. Over the years, the campers have used various sleeping pads when camping, from self-inflating pads to closed cell foam. However, the Nemo tenser stands out from the rest. Although it comes with a hefty price tag, it is worth every penny.

The Nemo Tenser comes in different varieties, from regular, regular wide, long wide, to insulated non-insulated. The camper has the Tensor insulated regular wide, which weighs one pound and three ounces. When packed down, it occupies eleven inches by four inches of space, making it easy to carry in a backpack. The sleeping pad measures 72 inches long, 25 inches wide, and three inches thick. Unlike most pads that measure 20 inches, the Tensor boasts an extra 5 inches of width, providing sufficient room for a comfortable sleeping experience.

The insulated pad has an R-value of 4.2, which means it has excellent insulation compared to a ground pad. On a camping trip where temperatures dropped to the low 30s, the camper did not feel any of the ground's coldness. Greg, the camper's companion, only felt the cold ground after his butt slid off the pad. Inflating the Nemo Tensor is straightforward through the pump sock valve, and the camper only had to use the pump's lever three and a half times. The baffling grooves keep the air in place, without any unwanted sliding or bumpiness, making it the most comfortable pad they have used.
