NEMO Tensor Sleeping Pad

The Tensor All Season is designed to be exceptionally quiet. By using a specialized metallized film construction rather than traditional crinkly Mylar sheets, it eliminates the loud, plastic-bag noise often associated with high-R-value pads.

With an R-value of 5.4, this pad is well-suited for three-season use and light winter camping. While it provides significant thermal insulation, if you are planning on camping on snow or in extreme sub-zero temperatures, you may want to pair it with a closed-cell foam pad for additional ground insulation.

The pad uses Spaceframe baffles, which are engineered to provide a stable, flat surface. This design minimizes the bouncy, waterbed-like sensation common in many inflatable pads, helping you stay centered throughout the night.

It is very straightforward. The included Vortex pump sack allows you to inflate the pad quickly without blowing into it manually, which prevents moisture buildup inside the pad and saves your breath after a long day of hiking.

No, the Laylow valve is designed to be flush with the surface of the pad. It sits low enough that it won't create a snag point or pressure spot, ensuring a smooth, comfortable sleeping surface regardless of your position.

While the Tensor is built to be ultralight for backpacking, it uses durable materials designed to withstand standard trail use. However, as with any inflatable pad, it is always wise to clear your campsite of sharp debris like sticks or rocks before laying it down.
