NEMO Tensor Elite Sleeping Pad

Unlike many ultralight pads that can feel bouncy or unstable, the Tensor Elite uses an Apex baffle system. This design distributes weight evenly across the surface, creating a much more stable and supportive sleeping platform.

An R-value of 2.4 is ideal for late spring, summer, and early autumn trips. If you are planning to camp in freezing temperatures or on snow, you will likely need a pad with higher insulation.

Yes, the Vortex pump sack is significantly faster and more efficient than manual inflation. It also prevents moisture from your breath from entering the pad, which helps maintain the integrity of the internal materials over time.

While the 10D fabric is incredibly lightweight, it is surprisingly tough thanks to the CORDURA construction. However, because it is an ultralight material, you should still be mindful of sharp debris and always clear your tent site before laying it down.

Absolutely. The Laylow valve is designed for micro-adjustments, allowing you to easily let out small amounts of air to dial in your preferred level of firmness without having to deflate the entire pad.

The Tensor Elite comes with an included repair kit, which is compact and easy to use for quick field fixes. We recommend keeping it in your pack at all times, just in case.
