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.

Amazed by how small this pad packs
Such a game changer compared with the pads I used in the past for winter camping. I'm amazed on how small it packs and super happy with how warm it keeps me. also its really quiet compared to a lot of pads. Super stoked on this item and got some for my whole family

A good pad, but not as warm as expected
When first learning of the Tensor Extreme I was super excited, as I love my warm weather Tensor pad. Having used a ThermaRest XTherm for my cold weather excursions, I was looking forward to a quieter option. However, after having both pads down to -10°, I hate to say I slept much warmer with the XTherm, and will revert back to it when going out in extreme cold conditions in the future. Aside from the cold effect, I find the pad to be very lightweight and extremely quiet. And like usual, Nemo did a great job of making a well thought out piece of gear.

Good pad, but not as warm as expected
Having used a ThermaRest XTherm in the past I was excited for the chance to get a warm sleeping pad that was much quieter (based on what I’ve experienced from the warm weather Tensor pad). While it is far less noisy, I find the XTherm far warmer. Having had both pads down to -10°F, I hate to say I slept much warmer with the XTherm, and will likely revert back to it when the temps drop to extreme lows. Other than the cold effect, the pad is well designed, lightweight, and extremely quiet.

Legit cold weather sleeping pad
This I can happily say is extremely worth the money and I may just go ahead and buy another as soon as the other shapes/lengths come back instock! So worth the price point becuase of the weight-to-benefit factor!

Slept like a baby
Did our county search and rescue training in western Washington in January with it. It was just above freezing and rainy, like it usually it during the winters here. Worked like a charm. It’s going back out in Feb and March for more of the same. Used it with the Coda 10* bag. I went to bed wet and woke up dry.

Exemplary!
This sleeping pad is amazing. As a fanatic for winter camping and this sleeping bad is more comfortable and quieter than competitors on the market. Highly recommend for those of you who plan on camping in the mountains.

Comfortable and quiet
I slept on this pad for a week during a canoe trip this summer. It was warm, comfortable, and quiet. I loved how easy it was to deflate each morning.

Warm, quick to inflate, comfortable night's sleep
This might be my favourite pad from NEMO. The insulation isn't just good for winter, but year-round. It's easy to inflate using the supplied NEMO inflation bag, and rolls-up and packs down to the size of a water bottle. Highly recommended for anyone who only wants one mat in their quiver, or for people who sleep cool.

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.
August 24, 2021
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?
March 3, 2021
For the Alpine Tensor model, are there any plans to release a regular wide size?
November 25, 2020
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!
September 12, 2020
What's the difference between the Tensor Insulated and the Tensor Alpine sleeping pads?
