Why We Like The NEMO Tensor Extreme Conditions Sleeping Pad
When days are clear and cold, and the nighttime temperatures drop well below freezing, we want the NEMO Tensor Extreme Conditions Sleeping Pad between us and the ground. This pad offers incredible warmth thanks to four layers of floating Thermal Mirror metallic film, which reflects heat back toward our body for an impressive 8.5 R-Value. Clocking in at just over a pound, ultralight enthusiasts won't have to make tough decisions between comfort and weight on winter expeditions. It packs down to a compact size as well, keeping our packs light and tight, so we can feel fresh each morning on multi-day treks.

Incredible warmth for the weight
Not sure how Nemo packed in such a high R value for the weight but I’m here for it! This thing has been plenty warm so far on trips, haven’t pushed it in super cold temps yet, but seems absolutely up to the task. Comfortable as ever, and I’m a side sleeper and super picky about my pads. Highly recommend.

Comfortable and warm, my now go to for camping
I got this to go backpacking this winter and it performed flawlessly. It wasn't too loud, it was warm and comfortable in 10F on snow. I paired it with a 10F quilt and nemo fillo king pillow. The pillow moved around a little bit, but solved that with a homemade strap to keep it on the pad.

The Ultimate #1 Sleeping Pad
I love winter backpacking and I also guide winter backpacking trips. I always have to put a foam pad under my sleeping pad to prevent cold spots on my back while in my sleeping bag just in case. This pad is AWESOME! NO cold spots. SUPER comfortable. Withstands in EXTREME COLD temperatures. Inflates in 1min 23sec with the Vortex. INCREDIBLY light weight. Packs SMALL. I would not sleep on anything but this sleeping pad, GUARANTEED! And perfect for a game of UNO during a winter storm and needing to stay in the tent. I LOVE my Regular Wide Tensor Extreme Conditions Ultralight Insulated sleeping pad.

cutting edge
Definitely a feelable difference between this air pad and others. Nobody likes not getting sleep cause they were cold all night. How do you have fun the next day if you didn't get any sleep the night before. Great product NEMO, well done.

Fantastic
So I've been doing this a while and used all sorts of pads. I do ski crossings of major lakes around MN and have completed most of the big ones already. I wanted a non down filled pad that had a high r value and saved space to go as light as possible. I'm also 6ft 2in and 210 lbs and I want to be comfortable out there. I got the extreme long wide and just use it with a UL tentfloor foam 1/4in thick pad under and this thing was HOT! Extremely comfortable, arms don't hang over the edge when it's-30 out, and it inflates and packs up well. 0 complaints. It's my go to now fo all things winter and it packs up about the size of a Pringle can. Couldn't be happier.

Fantastic Pad!
I can literally feel the heat radiating back at me when I lie down on this pad. The extra thickness is also very noticeable, all for a pack weight and size not much bigger than others. Highly recommended.

Tensor Extreme Insulated Sleeping Pad
I bought this pad specifically for winter camping trips and went with the wide and long even though I'm 5'6. I wanted a pad that would keep me away from the cold ground and this did the trick. It isn't as light as advertised but that isn't why I bought it. It packs up quite small and was very comfortable to sleep on. Would also be great for larger individuals and those who don't want to make noise from rolling around all night.The only reason I am going with 4 stars is because the price is high.

Compact-Warm
Had high hopes for this seeing the R value for it. When it first arrived I really didn't think it was going to hold up for how small it was. I have had it out a couple times so far early spring and can tell you there is a noticeable difference from my previous R4.2 pad. If you need a good pad for those colder nights, this is it!

Warm, comfortable, quiet!
This is neat! I have a regular version and a wide regular version. I hate skinny pads but sometimes I like to take as little stuff as possible. In either width they are comfortable, quiet, and warm. Finally have a warm pad that doesn't sound like my grandma's 80th birthday mylar balloon

Is the tensor alpine ultralight the same pad as the longbow alpine offered at First Lite? Other than the color they appear to be the same.

I'm about 5'10. Should I go for the long version? It looks like I'll fit the regular mummy, but it may be a bit close.

I usually camp during winter without a tent. Is the material tough enough to withstand sleeping with fir branches on the ground or should I put the mat on the snow directly?

Does the outer fabric keep you from sliding if you are tented on a slight incline?

For the Alpine Tensor model, are there any plans to release a regular wide size?

Are there any plans to make mummy shaped versions of the pads in the Tensor lineup (both Alpine and/or Tensor Insulated)? Without the mummy shape, I can't nest 2 pads in my tent.
October 20, 2020
I was wondering if you will change anything on the Design or the Material? The little Store here in Germany told me that the mat is sold out for the year and that he can order agian in December.

Please make this pad on 25” x 72” rectangular shape.every body has it but you. I will fit my project perfect.

Hi! Is Nemo expecting to make a Wide/Regular in this sleeping pad soon? I want the wide one, but it's too long for my tent!
