Nemo’s Tensor Insulated sleeping pad is designed for campers and backpackers looking for a comfortable and warm pad for a variety of sleeping positions that won’t weigh them down. At only 15 oz, this plush pad provides serious on-the-trail comfort.

  • Thermal Mirror™ – 2 layers of this internal metallic film gives the Tensor insulated pad its temperature rating down to 10-20°F without adding bulk.
  • Vortex™ pump sack – Inflate the pad with the included pump sack to save breath and reduce moisture getting into the pad.

The insulated Nemo Tensor has become my go-to pad for the majority of my adventures. I almost always find myself reaching for this pad over my other options. It is very warm for the weight and on top of that, it is one of the most comfortable pads that I own. I frequently take it on my week long trips... Read more

The NEMO Tensor Insulated Ultralight sleeping pad is the perfect backpacking pad for 3-season camping. It's very comfortable with a 3" pad thickness when inflated, ideal for side sleepers, and comes with its own bag to inflate it even quicker (less than 7 bag fills to inflate).

Great sleeping pad, but bad inflation valve desig

Originally posted at www.nemoequipment.com on Jan 15, 2024
I've used this sleeping pad for approx 30 nights on 3 separate trips. Generally, I love it! It's comfortable, warm, compact and lightweight and not as noisy as some others I've used in the past. The downsides: It is ultralight material which equals a certain level of fragility, but not a big issue if used with a groundsheet or inside a bivy sack. Where it becomes a problem is pulling the plug to inflate/deflate the pad. The cap can be sticky and difficult to remove, and it attached to a separate piece of fabric from the valve body. This resulted in mine tearing when the stubborn plug finally popped out. A good design change would be to have the plug/cap security strap attach to the valve body itself, or go with a different valve that doesnt need the cap. Currently have a warranty request in and hope to hear back from Nemo staff soon.
